In July 2019, the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) of Cambodia – in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF), undertook the first large scale survey on the agriculture sector since the Cambodia Agriculture Census in 2013. In this endeavor, the two institutions received the technical and financial support from FAO's AGRISurvey programme – now part of the 50x2030 Initiative.

With the successful deployment of the Cambodian Inter-Census Agriculture Survey 2019 (CIAS 2019) and the implementation of a comprehensive dissemination program, the NIS has achieved high quality and efficiency in data production and ensured meeting the growing needs of users.

A key objective of the AGRISurvey programme is to fill the data gap in agriculture to enable evidence-based policy-making. The publication of the CIAS 2019 statistical results, including anonymized micro-data files is a major step forward in addressing this data gap, providing Cambodia policy makers, national and international stakeholders with easy access to critical information for agricultural sector policy design, analysis and monitoring.

Moreover, by releasing a comprehensive range of statistical resources, NIS acknowledged and successfully managed to address the need for different types of products to serve the variety of users’ profiles and needs.

Below are the statistical resources available on-line for in-depth analyzes:
