Summary

The director of the Center for Studies and Development of Cambodian Agriculture (CEDAC), Dr.Y.S. Koma, first tried SRI methods in 1999 after reading about them in an ILEIA newsletter article. During 2000, only 28 farmers participated in the SRI experimentation. Due to the early successes of SRI, the Cambodian government, especially its Minister of Agriculture, H.E. Chan Sarun, officially started endorsing and promoting SRI in 2005. Since then, SRI has been promoted in all provinces of Cambodia. Subsequently, SRI was included in the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) for 2006-2010 to raise productivity in the rice sector, and then in the revised NSDP for 2009-2013.

There are also at least 47 NGOs and development projects involved in promoting SRI in different parts of Cambodia. Since 2004, there is a national SRI secretariat hosted by MAFF's Department of Agronomy and Agriculture Land Improvement with technical support from CEDAC and funding support from GTZ (German Technical Cooperation Agency), Oxfam America and GB, FAO and HEKS (a Swiss NGO). Since then, the Secretariat has been playing an important role in coordinating and assisting SRI activities in Cambodia, especially through the PDAs. For more information, see Dr. Koma's Agriculture and Rural Development Discussion Note on proposed strategies to utilize the potential of rice production in Cambodia (June 2008).

On August 21, 2009, the Minister of Agriculture directed that SRI is to become a mainstay of the agricultural development for Cambodia. According to Mr. Ngin Chhay, director of MAFF's Rice Department, by the end of 2009 there were 110,530 farmers using SRI methods in Cambodia on 59,785 hectares in 4,534 villages; the average SRI yield was calculated at 3.48 t/ha, about 1 t/ha more than the national average. During the 2010 Annual Conference of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), the Minister of Agriculture, H.E. Chan Sarun, emphasized the importance of SRI in his opening speech and the Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen spoke highly about the benefits of SRI for rice production in Cambodia in the closing ceremony. On July 6, 2010, the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) convened a meeting to discuss setting up a SRI National Advisory Board (SRI-NAB).

CEDAC estimates that as of 2011, 100,000 families in Cambodia have applied SRI through the promotion of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, their own NGO and other NGOs in Cambodia. During 2011, CEDAC is planning to promote SRI to 75,395 families on 24,293 ha of arable area in 2,317 villages across 268 communes in 45 districts of 13 Provinces.

Progress and Activities

2011 UPDATES

• CEDAC's 2011 Plans and Progress in Thirteen Provinces

  CEDAC estimates that as of 2011, 100,000 families in Cambodia have applied SRI methods through the promotion of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, their own NGO and other NGOs in Cambodia.

  During 2011, CEDAC is planning to promote SRI to 75,395 families on 24,293 ha of arable area in 2,317 villages across 268 communes in 45 districts of 13 Provinces. (See blog post) This year CEDAC plans to cooperate with 2,232 farmers to conduct good seed selection and seed purification (traditional / local seeds). The capacity of farmers to do seed selection and purification is also intended to help farmers to conserve their traditional seed, improve its quality and exchange of seed from farmer to farmer. CEDAC will select at least 200 villages to record in detail the SRI practices of the cooperating farmers.

• Yield of SRI vs Conventional Practices Measured in Six Provinces
  

  Yim Sok Sophors reports that during the wet season of 2010, CEDAC staff collected the SRI data of SRI from 540 villages across 6 provinces including Prey Veng, Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, Kampong Chhnang, Svay Rieng, and Kampong Speu. SRI fields averaged 3.24 t/ha for the wet season rice production compared to 2 t.ha for those using conventional practices. This is equivalent to a 62% increase. (See blog post for more information.)

• Ecological System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Mondulkiri Province

  After the implementation of CEDAC’s project, titled “Improving Food Security for Women and Rural Poor in Mondulkiri†during 2009, there are now 231 farmers in 31 villages across 10s communes of 2 districts (Pichrda and Koah Nheaek) applying what is not called the ecological System of Rice Intensification (SRI) on the cultivated land of 29.78 ha. The yield from SRI practice is 3.88 ton per hectare which is higher than the traditional practice which provided only 2.5 ton/ha on average. The SRI farmers would like to expand the rice production through the practices of SRI in the next season. On the other hand, the farmers who had not practiced SRI in the previous season showed interest in applying the methods during the upcoming season. In order to ensure an increase in number of SRI farmers in the next season, CEDAC’s staff will provide more training support on SRI, organize a SRI transplanting day and also carry out a harvesting day to strengthen farmers’ understanding of SRI. (See Yim Sok Sophor blog article.)

2010

• SRI in Cambodia Cited as Success Story in United Nations Publication
  

  The progress of SRI in Cambodia was featured as one of fifteen success stories featured in the publication MDGs Success Stories from Asia and the Pacific. (See "Grow to feed: Improving food security" on page 15). This document, which is associated with the UN High-Level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals, can be downloaded from the End Poverty 2015 Millennium Campaign website. According to the authors, of the 7 Millennium Development Goals, SRI affects Goal 1 on poverty and hunger, as well as 4, 5 and 7 by ensuring nutrition to the family members (especially children and women) and helping to improve the soil through greater root growth and the nurturing of soil microbial diversity.

• Large-Scale SRI Use Being Demonstrated in Battambang

  Dr. Y.S. Koma, director of CEDAC, writes that this season, CEDAC is working with farmers in Battambang province on a 90-hectare SRI operation to show the practicality of using SRI methods on a large scale.  As shown at left, the fields have water drainage channels to permit management of water levels in the soil. Seedlings are grown in vegetable-bed nurseries with forest humus (upper right) and are transplanted at 17 days (lower left and right). This is a little older than generally recommended, but the plants are healthy and farmers have no difficulty with the seedlings.

  MAFF plans to form SRI National Advisory Board

  On July 6, 2010, the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) convened a meeting to discuss setting up a SRI National Advisory Board (SRI-NAB). Representatives from CEDAC, FAO, Oxfam America, CARDI and the General Directorate of Agriculture (GDA) participated in the meeting. The proposed SRI-NAB will advise MAFF on policies and strategies for promoting SRI in Cambodia as well as assist in setting the direction of the National SRI Secretariat within MAFF for implementing, coordinating and supporting the national SRI program in Cambodia.

  The proposed composition of the Board would include MAFF’s General Director, the Vice General Director of GDA, the Director of GDA’s Rice Department, and representatives from a Provincial Department of Agriculture (PDA), the Council of Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD), the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Water Resources, a Farmers’ Organization, the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture (CEDAC), and other development partners.

• Campaign on the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Svay Rieng Province

  CEDAC is implementing a development project titled “Development of food production, farming income, nutrition and resilience in Cambodia”. The duration of the project is from January 2010 to June 2011, and covers 75 villages in 5 districts of Prey Veng and Svay Rieng provinces. In July 2010, the project team in Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province conducted a SRI Campaign with 270 participants (137 women), that included farmers, village chiefs, commune councilors, and local stakeholders from 9 villages across 4 communes in Chantrea district. (See full article on CEDAC website).

• Cambodian Government Reinforces Commitment to Promote SRI

  During his opening speech of the Annual Conference of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) on April 4, 2010, the Minister of Agriculture, H.E. Chan Sarun, emphasized the importance of SRI in contribution to increasing rice production in Cambodia. Then during the closing ceremony of the conference on April 6, 2010, Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen spoke highly about the benefits of SRI for rice production in Cambodia, especially in term of high productivity and lower requirement of seeds.

  During the event, five ‘best farmers’ were given awards by the Prime Minister for their outstanding work with SRI. For the 2009 season, the best SRI farmer was Mr. Tuy Phan from Tasourn village in Tramkok District of Takeo Province.

  Since its introduction into Cambodia by CEDAC in 2000 and official endorsement by the Minister of Agriculture, H.E. Chan Sarun, in 2005, SRI is now being promoted in all Cambodian provinces. According to the official report released by MAFF at the Annual Conference, the number of SRI farmers in Cambodia in 2009 was reported to be 104,000 farmers, covering 58,000 ha of cultivated area, around 2.6 percent of the total cultivated rice area in the wet season. Average SRI yield was 3.53 tons per ha, compared to a national rice yield average in the wet season of 2.62 tons per ha.

• Update on Cambodian SRI Use in 2009

  Mr. Ngin Chhay, director of the Rice Department in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, made a PowerPoint presentation on SRI in Cambodia to a national SRI workshop held in Hanoi, January 20-21, 2010 in which he reviewed Cambodian SRI experience for Vietnamese participants. This PowerPoint summary reports that at the end of 2009, there were 110,530 farmers using SRI methods in Cambodia on 59,785 hectares in 4,534 villages. The average SRI yield was calculated at 3.48 t/ha, about 1 t/ha more than the national average. Most of the farmers are practicing rainfed SRI, lacking access to irrigation facilities.

  Sothea, Ros. 2008. (March 18) Report from Phnom Penh
  [About an Oxfam plan to distribute a video to promote a System of Rice Intensification video, "Do You Speak SRI?," which it produced with the Cambodian Center for the Study and Development in Agriculture, will help farmers implement the method. English translation of report: The aid group Oxfam will distribute a video to promote a system of rice growing that improves yields, as the growing season approaches. The System of Rice Intensification, or SRI, can improve rice yields by 150 percent, the group said Tuesday, creating a larger surplus that leads to more income and farm improvements. At first, farmer Rum Mao did not believe in the new method. But, he said Tuesday, after practicing it, his yields were higher than in the past. He was pleased with the new system, he said, as it allowed him to sell more rice and earn a better living. The group's information video, "Do You Speak SRI?," which it produced with the Cambodian Center for the Study and Development in Agriculture, will help farmers implement the method.]
