In Cambodia, small-scale farmers are facing the issue of low economic returns from their rice farming because of low productivity and high input costs. The system of rice intensification (SRI) allows farmers to use less inputs. In dry areas, SRI could result in an average yield of 3.6 tonnes/ha, while under similar circumstances, the yield with traditional practices is only 2.4 tonnes/ha. Another critical issue that farmers are facing is labour shortage, as the country’s economic conditions continue to force many men to migrate to towns and cities for work.
