Abstract

In Cambodia, the government still faces agricultural productivity, labour competency, and climate change susceptibility problems. The government and the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) have initiated a Sustainable Asset for Agricultural Market, Business, and Trade (SAAMBAT) collaboration project. However, limited studies were observed about the project. A desk study using multiple data resources and project reports was performed to investigate the practical implementation of SAMBAAT in Cambodia. The data were available online and retrieved from the Cambodian government, ADB, IFAD, and The World Bank. The expert acquisition was also conducted by confirming the analysis and findings to professional third parties involving in the project monitoring. After the project was implemented, the local farmers started diversifying their value-added crops and operating their farming system by following Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards. Besides, they could also adopt new innovative technologies to increase agricultural productivity, improving national food security establishment, and using digital apps to support their agribusiness sustainability, such as an e-agriculture platform developed by trained local youth. SAAMBAT is recommended to encourage the Techno Start-Up Center (TSC) to develop its organizational capability and business model to boost the digital economy’s innovation, specifically to support rural agribusiness growth. Further improvement and evaluation are required to maintain the process and enlarge the project’s impacts.
