Synopsis (short abstract) One of the main causes of food insecurity for farmers in rural areas is limited access to agricultural inputs. Therefore, one strategy to address the vulnerability of food-insecure farmers is to improve smallholder access to these inputs. To this end, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sets up input trade fairs and voucher schemes to provide poor, vulnerable and foodinsecure farmers with access to the inputs (e.g. seeds, fertilizers and hand tools) they nee d to sustain their agricultural livelihoods.

    The EU-funded MALIS project ran a series of nine input trade fairs in Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear Provinces in north-west Cambodia during 2014. The purpose of these fairs was to provide quality inputs to farmers, at the time when they were most needed, and to ensure that families had access to basic kitchen equipment for food preparation and feeding. The fairs proved to be highly effective as a mechanism for achieving the purpose.
