Ensure availability and affordability of food for all

By 2030, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) is fully committed to ensuring the availability and affordability of food for all Cambodians. 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 programmes and investment programmes within crops, fisheries, livestock and agricultural natural resource management.

MAFF has been implementing the following Priority Policy Programmes to strengthen agrifood systems and ensure sustainable food security:

1. Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains and Food Security

• Develop financing mechanisms to support agricultural value chain development while ensuring food security for all Cambodians.

• Facilitate modern agricultural communities to enhance efficiency, productivity and economies of scale in production.

2. Enhancing Agricultural Services and Farmer Support

• Deploy commune agriculture officers across all 1,600 agricultural communes to provide essential technical support, training and advisory services to farmers, including nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
