Última Changes in Management Can Improve Returns from Cambodian Upland Crops AgEcon Farquharson, Robert J.; Sareth, Chea; Somrangchittra, Chapho; Martin, Robert J.; Haigh, Bruce M; Scott, J. Fiona; Sopheap, Ung. Farming systems research for wet-season non-rice upland crops in Cambodia is being conducted with the overall aim of poverty reduction and food security for farmers in the Provinces of Battambang and Kampong Cham. Some of these cash crops exhibit low and variable incomes, especially when grown in the early wet season. Cambodian farmers may borrow money to buy crop inputs and often sell their produce to companies and traders from neighbouring countries, hence they are price takers. Some new crop technologies are evaluated which relate to soil and crop fertility management interacting with climatic factors. The DSSAT crop simulation model is used to predict outcomes from alternative management strategies. Bio-economic analyses are conducted to assess the...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25602 Upland crop technologies in Cambodia: economic evaluations and some adoption issues AgEcon Farquharson, Robert J.; Scott, J. Fiona; Sareth, Chea. Agricultural research and development (R&D) has being conducted in the upland districts of Cambodia to develop new farming systems and crop management technologies. Levels of farm income in these areas are relatively low due to small farm sizes and low crop productivity. Work is also planned to encourage the process of adoption of these technologies, and here we investigate how this process can be facilitated. A literature review identifies two important technology characteristics, ‘relative advantage’ and ‘trialability’, for successful adoption. Minimum or target rates of return on investment in new technologies are discussed as a means of investigating how much improvement in relative advantage might be enough to encourage successful adoption of the...
