CISBAY CAMBODIA
Driving Change in Agricultural Practices for a Healthier Ecosystem, the partnership aims to promote resilient farming systems that support the livelihoods of local communities while contributing to the region's long-term agricultural productivity.
Battambang Province and Kampong Thom Province are vital contributors to Cambodia's rice production, showcasing the country's agricultural strength. In Battambang, approximately 400,000 hectares of land are dedicated to rice cultivation, making it one of the largest rice-growing regions in the country.
Meanwhile, Kampong Thom boasts around 350,000 hectares of rice fields, highlighting its significant role in supporting local farmers and contributing to national food security. These provinces exemplify the potential for enhanced agricultural practices through innovative solutions, such as those offered by Cisbay, to further improve soil health and increase rice yields.
