HIGH FIVE! We can exceed Cambodia’s estimated potential yields and we have reached 80% of theoretical maximum yields Yield gaps

Identifying production constraints at farm level? Production team Socio Economics, Marketing, Value-Chain Biological constraints -Crop species and variety -Weeds, diseases, insect pests Physical/chemical constraints -soil/water problems -Soil fertility Socio-economic constraints -Costs & returns, credit -Traditions & attitudes -Knowledge -Input availability & cost -Labour availability & cost -Institutions

Implications of increasing labour costs for small holder farmers

Farmers will need to increase yields and/or reduce input costs

Options available? Reducing dependence on labour – S&E implications? Mechanisation – most ploughing and sowing in Pailin is already by tractor – next step machine harvesting? Increased yields – weed and pest control, seed quality, fertiliser, legume rotations? Improve access to crop inputs – up the value chain? Local value-adding?

We now have excellent data to test the theories – so it is down to serious business from here on in the project Integration
