Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains Sector Project
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the climate vulnerability of Cambodia's agricultural value chains.
Observed climate change trends in Cambodia, where the livelihoods of 80 percent of the population relies on rain-fed agriculture, indicate serious impacts on agriculture, which is highly sensitive to climate variability. Also, Cambodia's agricultural value chains remain fragmented as a result of infrastructure gaps and a range of capacity and policy constraints.
This initiative targets four agricultural value chains in Kampong Cham, Tbong Khmum, Kampot and Takeo provinces. It will enhance the resilience and productivity of crops, and increase agricultural competitiveness and household incomes in the targeted provinces. It will address each stage of the agricultural value chain.
The project has an estimated lifespan of 6 years.

17 Jan 2022 / The agriculture sector is one of the highest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Cambodia. The Green Climate Fund (GCF), in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is helping to reduce these emissions by building the climate resilience of Cambodia's agricultural value chains. Watch the video to learn how this project is making a difference in the lives of farmers in Cambodia. More about the project here: https://g.cf/fp076
Cambodia's climate action game-changer: Resilient agricultural value chains
25 Oct 2021 / GCF’s climate finance is improving the climate resilience of Cambodian farmers by reducing the carbon footprint of each stage of the agricultural value chain. Through investments in climate-resilient agricultural production and post-harvest infrastructure, and the promotion of low-carbon technologies at various stages of the value chain, this project aims to reduce Cambodia’s carbon emissions by 240,000 tonnes.
