Growing demand for animal feed is driving up both the demand
and price of corn, with smallholder farmers claiming the field crop
offers a more stable market than cassava. Corn is grown on more than 140,000 hectares in Cambodia and can be
harvested twice a year. Each hectare yields about
4.5 tonnes, putting Cambodia’s total production at around 640,000
tonnes last year.
