  1. Issues and priorities for CCPMP: an economic perspective Bob Farquharson and Bob Martin Project team meeting Battambang 10-11 February 2009

  2. Our aim today • Encourage discussion about CCPMP • Project objectives and structure • Constraints in the Cambodian environment • Some premises about incentives in this environment • Aspects of successful adoption of technologies • Choosing technologies to succeed • Some project possibilities to consider

  3. The broad project objective are agreed

  4. Yield gap model of constraints

  5. Constraints in a value-chain context

  6. Spatial issues and extension

  7. Some premises • Economic and social improvement is important • The economics of crop production are important • A gap exists between actual and potential • Some constraints can be overcome • Farmers are heterogeneous in many ways • Strategies for specific groups • Farm financial outcomes are influenced by upstream and downstream issues • Value chain approach and Communities of Practice

  8. Priority technologies for adoption • Rhizobium inoculation of legumes • Improved crop varieties and/or certified seed • Application of Urea to maize • Changes in crop rotations and crop sequencing • Use of reduced or conservation tillage • Integrated pest management (IPM).

  9. Rhizobium inoculation of legumes Simple, easy to adopt Yes Production: demonstrated, trialable Yes Profitable: economic analysis Yes Socio-economic considerations OK Yes Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available No

  10. Improved crop varieties and/or certified seed Simple, easy to adopt Yes Production: demonstrated, trialable Yes Profitable: economic analysis Yes Socio-economic considerations OK Yes Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available No

  11. Application of Urea to maize Simple, easy to adopt Yes Production: demonstrated, trialable ? Profitable: economic analysis ? Socio-economic considerations OK ? Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available Yes

  12. Changes in crop rotations and crop sequencing Simple, easy to adopt Yes Production: demonstrated, trialable ? Profitable: economic analysis ? Socio-economic considerations OK ? Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available No

  13. Use of reduced or conservation tillage Simple, easy to adopt No Production: demonstrated, trialable Yes Profitable: economic analysis Yes Socio-economic considerations OK ? Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available No

  14. Integrated pest management (IPM) Simple, easy to adopt No Production: demonstrated, trialable No Profitable: economic analysis ? Socio-economic considerations OK ? Marketing: markets available ? Value chain: inputs available No

  15. Priority technologies • There are 6 production technologies that the project can look at • They vary in ease of adoption • They vary in stage of development • They require input from all project teams: • Production • Socio-economics • Marketing • Value chain
