Synopsis (short abstract) Wheat price was highly volatile in recent months. It increased in August by 20% but remained much below pre-harvest level (June 2010). Wheat production in 2010 is estimated at 215,000 tonnes, a level similar to the last 5 years average. Twenty-two percent of the population was estimated to be undernourished in 2005-07, according to the latest FAO figures which were released in September. The Government is implementing a series of measures to support agriculture.

    Prices of rice have generally been stable since the beginning of 2010, but are higher than the pre-high food crises period. Political tensions with Thailand continue. Moreover Cambodia's paddy crop was adversely affected by late rains and this could result in higher levels of food insecurity. GIEWS assessed that there is generally satisfactory food security throughout the country while other agencies agree that in the long term hunger will increase. The Government has implemented the Recta ngular Strategy-Phase II to scale up rice production and has expanded social protection programmes to support vulnerable people.
