摘要

The trend towards crop diversification in Cambodia has seen vegetables play an increasingly important role in rice-based farming systems. Diversification into non-rice crops has been driven by farmers looking to improve the profitability, productivity and sustainability of their farming systems. Vegetables offer a viable and profitable alternative to traditional crops. Nutritional benefits also accrue with diversification into vegetables. Despite the strong market incentives for crop diversification, horticultural production is not without its challenges. The vegetable industry in Cambodia confronts low yields (7 t/ha), poor competitiveness with regional neighbours (Thailand and Vietnam), high postharvest losses (25-40%), product that does not conform to the quality and safety demands of consumers, and difficulties meeting market demand during the wet season. Overcoming these challenges needs both the private and public sector, including policymakers, to create an environment conducive to industry expansion. For policymakers, this means a shift in emphasis to non-rice crops. Although rice will always be the mainstay of Cambodian agriculture, optimising vegetable and other non-rice crop production systems is essential for farmers to maximise returns from their land. New models for extension and upscaling will be needed to meet the 'information demand challenge' and to facilitate greater adoption. Delivering future extension resources at the farm level will need investment in vocational and internship programs that deliver to industry stakeholders.
