Hean Vanhan, secretary of state at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and project director of the Cambodia Water Security Improvement Project (CaWSIP), yesterday concluded a training workshop to boost climate-resilient cashew production. The event, held in the provincial town of Kampong Thom, hosted 45 participants, including national implementation teams, provincial coordinators, commune agricultural officers, and large-scale farmers from Kampong Thom, Kratie, Mondulkiri, and Preah Vihear. Vanhan outlined three main objectives for the initiative: to strengthen technical capacity in climate-resilient production, to lower costs through smart agricultural techniques, and to promote knowledge exchange among farmers. He encouraged trainees to share these methods—particularly those related to pruning, weed control, and the careful use of agricultural inputs—with their fellow farmers. “By addressing these key challenges, we can improve productivity and profitability across the sector,” Vanhan said. The CaWSIP prioritises technical support in its development efforts, ensuring that expertise provided through focal officers benefits agricultural communities both within and beyond the project’s immediate target areas. This training represents a significant step in equipping stakeholders with the skills needed to adapt to changing climatic conditions while protecting the long-term sustainability of Cambodia’s cashew industry.
