The Mission reviewed data from various sources, including Government, FAO project TCP/CMB/4452 and a survey of communes undertaken by WFP, FAO and the Cambodian Red Cross. In addition, discussions were held with Government, UN agencies, donors and NGOs at central, provincial and local level. During its assessment the Mission visited three major rice growing provinces; Stem Reap, Takeo and Prey Veng The Mission estimates production of the main, wet season, rice crop in 1995/96 at 2.785 million tons and forecasts output of the second, dry season, crop at 0.533 million tons, giving a total 3.318 million tons, some 40 percent above estimated production in 1994/95 and 30 percent higher than the average for the preceding five years. Exceptional rice production in 1995/96 is attribute d to favourable rainfall over most of the country and an increase in the use of fertilizers, which together encouraged an expansion in planting and favoured crop development. The national requirement of rice after losses, for consumption and other uses, in 1996 is estimated at 1.918 million tons. As there are no known stocks carried over from last year, total rice availability in the country in 1996 is estimated to be the same as total output, i.e. 3.318 million tons of paddy or 2 057 million to ns of rice leaving a surplus of 139 000 tons.
