Abstract

The agricultural investments landscape of Cambodia is changing rapidly. The large-scale development model, driven by agro-industrial concessions, is out of steam, and other forms of investments linking farmers with companies and markets are emerging. These include various out-grower and contract farming schemes. This comparative case study examines the implications of these transformations for smallholder farmers. The aim is to provide recommendations to enhance the institutional environment, policies and practices, for governing these new forms of agricultural investment in order to enhance the benefits gained by smallholder farmers.
