Description
By 2030, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) is fully committed to ensuring the availability and affordability of foods for all Cambodian people. This will contribute to reducing anaemia in women and the prevalence of stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age. This will be achieved sustainably, both economically and environmentally, through the implementation of priority policy programs and investment programs within crops, fisheries, livestock, and agricultural natural resource management.
MAFF has been implementing the following Priority Policy Programs to strengthen agrifood systems and ensure sustainable food security:
1. Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains and Food Security
o Develop financing mechanisms to support agricultural value chain development while ensuring food security for all Cambodians.
o Facilitate modern Agricultural Communities to enhance efficiency, productivity, and economies of scale in production.
2. Enhancing Agricultural Services and Farmer Support
o Deploy commune agriculture officers (CAOs) across all 1,600 agricultural communes to provide essential technical support, training, and advisory services to farmers including nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
