Country Office

Priorities for ACIAR-Cambodia cooperation are established through meetings between ACIAR research program managers and executive staff and Cambodian agricultural R&D institutions, government departments and other organisations active in rural development in Cambodia. Priorities for research and development cooperation-in production, protection, processing and marketing of field and horticultural crops-were discussed in February 2008 at a workshop in Phnom Penh jointly hosted by ACIAR and AusAID. It involved representatives of relevant national and provincial government ministries and agencies, universities, the private sector, non-government organisations and other donors. A full list of agreed priorities from the meetings is available at .

New projects will be considered in the areas of field crop improvement and management, horticulture (the current focus is vegetables), animal health and production, and agricultural systems economics and management. Activities should fall under the following thematic subprograms:

Subprogram 1: Securing productivity of rice-based farming systems

Subprogram 2: Income generation and better nutrition through agricultural diversification
