3 Months Intensive Training in Crop Forecasting and Cambodia's first Agro-meteorogical Bulletins
Two experts from Cambodia's Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, as well as two colleagues from Laos, attended a 3 month course in Rome on crop yield forecasting.
Thanks to expertise gained in using crop yield forecasting software and tools, Cambodia's first agro-meteorological bulletins have been published. The bulletins aim at informing decision-makers, analysts and technicians about the crop situation during the agricultural season. In addition, a rice yield forecasting system has been set up.
