    A handful of rice yields high hopes 2024

    “With all the effort I put in, I only ever got low output. If I put in less effort, I got even lower yields.” This is the statement expressed by Khammoun Heuangsouvantha prior to joining the Climate REAL project. His remark and rice output changed significantly after a year of engagement with the projecct. Hopes are high for the rice farming communities of Attapeu Province. Khammoun personally believes that there is no end to the learning and enrichment and that local farmers can benefit from continued support. It is hoped that in the next 5 to 10 years, villagers will be able to produce enough rice not only for their own families but also for sale. The potential to start a small agribusiness and gradually improve living conditions would be within reach. This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.
