Background

Established by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the ASEAN Secretariat in 2015, Grow Asia brings together companies, governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to develop inclusive and sustainable value chains and initiatives. At Grow Asia’s core are three goals – to increase the productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability of smallholder agriculture across the region.

The Cambodia Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (CPSA) is Grow Asia’s Country Partnership in Cambodia, which works closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and Relevant Government Agencies.

CPSA brings together companies, government agencies, civil society organizations, farmer groups, and financial institutions to link smallholder farmers to the market with the shared goal of increasing farmers’ profits and productivity while improving the environmental sustainability of their farms.

  • Providing education and advisory for MSMEs, entrepreneurs, and farmer organizations
  • Supporting the development of sustainable and pro-smallholder agricultural development

CPSA is currently supporting four WGs (Cashew, Pepper, Fruit & Vegetables, and Agri-Food SMEs) and three cross-cutting issues (Contract Farming, Responsible Agricultural Investment, and AgriTech).
