Published purpose

The project supports the establishment of a sustainable and relevant Agricultural Market Information System to be run by the Agriculture Marketing Office (AMO) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). The project aims to improve farmers' knowledge on the use of market information and establish greater links between farmers and final buyers. At the same time, it supports increased coordination between government departments also responsible for collecting and using agriculture market information. Finally, the project supports capacity development in both the use of the system and the information, while ensuring that this capacity is sustainable for the long-term and institutionalized within Cambodian government bodies. The project improves the productivity and income of Cambodian farmers; ensures that the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry's Agriculture Marketing Office and provincial offices assume ownership and responsibility for continuous management and operation of the Agriculture Marketing Information System; and increases the capacity of Cambodian institutions and organisations to provide agriculture-marketing services to farmers.
