Résumé

A National Seminar on Crop Yield Forecasting (CYF) was organized on 30 April by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The seminar followed previous EC-FAO Programme activities aimed at strengthening Crop Yield Forecasting in Cambodia. It brought together representatives from the main government institutions and international organizations concerned with food security in the country.

Opening speeches were given by the Deputy Director of Agricultural Extension, FIVIMS secretariat, MAFF, and the FAO Representative in Cambodia. Two national experts presented the main achievements from the last two years. A senior expert from FAO gave a presentation on experiences and lessons learned on building capacity in crop forecasting from other countries. Lastly, participants discussed how to continue the CYF bulletin, as well as the need for timely and good quality data during the growing season.
