  • Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints
    Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints Cambodia’s economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, and poverty reduction has made significant progress. In the 2000s, the contribution of agriculture and agro-industry to overall economic growth has come largely through the accumulation of factors of production—land and labor—as part of an extensive growth of activity, with productivity modestly improving from very low levels. Despite these generally positive signs, there is justifiable concern about Cambodia’s ability to seize the opportunities presented. The concern is that the existing set of structural and institutional constraints, unless addressed by appropriate interventions and policies, will slow down economic growth and poverty reduction. These constraints include (i) an insecurity in land tenure, which inhibits investment in productive activities; (ii) low productivity in land and human capital; (iii) a business-enabling environment that is not conducive to formalized investment; (iv) underdeveloped rural roads and irrigation infrastructure; (v) a finance sector that is unable to mobilize significant funds for agricultural and rural development; and (vi) the critical need to strengthen public expenditure management to optimize scarce resources for effective delivery of rural services. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its Rural Development developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million for Cambodia struggling on less than $1.25 a day.

MATSUNAGA (Email: [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project to survey the vegetable genetic resources available in Cambodia. As part of this project, three field surveys of Solanaceae crops were conducted in November 2014, 2015 and 2016 in western, eastern and northern Cambodia, respectively. In November 2017, we conducted a fourth field survey in southern Cambodia, including the Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Kou Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot and Takeo provinces. We collected 56 chili pepper (20 Capsicum annuum, 36 C. frutescens) and 4 eggplant (4 Solanum spp.) fruit samples from markets, farmers’ yards, farmers’ fields and an open space. After harvesting seeds from the collected fruits, the seeds were divided equally and half were conserved in the CARDI and the other half were transferred to the Genetic Resource Center, NARO using the standard material transfer agreement (SMTA).

  • Heavenly – the Haven Cookbook with Recipes from the Cambodian Cuisine July 27, 2017
    Heavenly – The Haven cookbook with recipes from the Cambodian Cuisine July 27, 2017, www.visit-angkor.org Homage to the cookbook from the Haven restaurant with its fantastic recipes from the Khmer cuisine and a little story about how I came to this book. Also, youʼll find the delicious Khmer Chicken Curry recipe from the Haven cookbook at the end of this article, to cook and enjoy at home. To me, the Cambodian cuisine is like heaven on earth. Flavorful, well- rounded and never too spicy. The Khmer are simply gifted at conjuring up delicious dishes on the plates. Itʼs a pity that there are not more Cambodian restaurants in this part of the world. For a Cambodia lover like me, the Thai or Vietnamese around the corner is in its own way very good, but itʼs just not the same. So thereʼs only one thing that can be done: cook it yourself and bring the flavor fireworks of the Cambodian cuisine to the domestic stove! HAVEN – Cooking for a cause Due to the lack of experience in the preparation of Cambodian food, a suitable recipe is required. Preferably with a “built-in” guarantee to make sure the result doesnʼt end up in the garbage bin. With Haven – Cooking for a cause from the Haven restaurant in Siem Reap, I own the most wonderful Khmer cookbook imaginable. https://www.visit-angkor.org/blog/2017/07/27/haven-cookbook-recipes-cambodian-cuisine/ 31/07/2017, 10@14 pm Page 1 of 7 Some of the ingredients for the Khmer Chicken Curry from the Haven cookbook First a little story about how that came about: In August 2016 I meet Sara, one of the operators at Haven restaurant.

  • Chin-Su Yod Thong Fish Sauce – Taking an Authentic National Flavor Global
    zz1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chin-su Yod Thong Fish Sauce – Taking an Authentic National Flavor Global Bangkok, September 27, 2016 – Masan Group Corporation (HOSE: MSN, “Masan”) and its strategic partner Singha Asia Holding Pte Ltd (“Singha”) will officially introduce a new product, Chin-Su Yod Thong fish sauce, to the Thailand market through an event titled “First Small Step To Serve 250 Million In-land ASEAN Consumers”. The launch event of Chin-su Yod Thong fish sauce is not only a remarkable milestone for the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Thailand’s leading food and beverage companies, but is also the first small step in a journey to globally advocate Eastern food culture with fish sauce at its core. Masan believes that the new product is well positioned to win in a fast developing region. “Nuoc mam”, “nampla”, “ngan bya yay”, “prahok” or “padek” is an essential condiment that is consumed with meals on a daily basis by the people of Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. Vietnam, as well as Thailand, is globally recognized as the cradle of fish sauce, where it was created and gradually perfected. Furthermore, Vietnamese and Thai cuisines, while varying in cooking methods and tastes, share fish sauce as a staple seasoning product. At the core of fish sauce is a beautiful story of heritage and gastronomy that touches the lives of people in Vietnam and Inland ASEAN, a story that can be proudly shared with the rest of the world and that is uniquely compelling such as Japanese soy sauce, Indian curry, American ketchup and European cheese.

    World Day for Cultural Diversity Prahok ktiss (pork belly with fermented fish) With many thanks to the team at International Development Enterprises, Cambodia, for sharing this recipe and background. Prahok ktiss (image credit: International Development Enterprises). Prahok Ktiss is a very old, traditional recipe using prahok, a fermented salted fish paste which has been eaten by Cambodians almost every day. In fact, our diet is made up of over two thirds of fish and Prahok is a fermentation method to preserve fish even though it has a strong rich smell of rotten fish, but this smell is very well associated with Cambodia. Another main ingredient in this dish is Kroeung, a yellow curry-like paste which is made out of the combination of lemongrass, garlic, turmeric, shallot, galangal, makrut lime leaves, and red chilli. Kroeung has been used in many Cambodian dishes, we even use the ingredients in it for hot compress massage and believe it has benefits for our health as well. Recipe: Ingredients: • 150 g pork belly • 50 g prahok (fermented salted fish) • 2 garlic cloves, crushed www.mecs.org.uk For the sauce: • ½ red pepper, pounded to a paste • 2 garlic cloves, crushed • 20 g palm sugar • 125 ml (½ cup) coconut milk • 10 miniature eggplant or one small chopped eggplant (optional) • 2 makrut lime leaves, shredded • Splash vegetable oil For the Kroeung paste: • 1 stalk lemongrass, thinly sliced • 2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped • 1 small shallot, coarsely chopped • ½ tsp galangal, peeled, coarsely chopped • 3 makrut lime leaves, de-veined • ½ tsp turmeric, peeled, chopped • 1 chilli, chopped, seeded (optional) Method: • Using two knives or cleavers, finely chop the pork belly, prahok and two garlic cloves.
