PREFACE The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with additional financial support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF), has initiated the project, “Support to study on appropriate policy measures to increase investments in agriculture and to stimulate food production” (GCP/GLO/267/JPN). The aim of the project is to identify a policy framework for promoting, facilitating and supporting acceleration of investment by the public and private sectors to achieve domestic capital formation for stimulating sustainable food production. In the project, studies and analytical work have been undertaken to understand the nature and determinants of domestic capital formation and appropriate investment in agriculture for increasing food production. Data and information sets have also been developed with an aim to provide all relevant stakeholders with fundamental data and information to assist them in grasping and analyzing the status and trend of agricultural investment as well as formulating investment strategy. More information can be found at http://www.fao.org/tc/policy-support/investment-policy/. As one of the project’s activities, case studies on foreign investment in agriculture were carried out in order to understand and analyze the extent and nature of foreign investment in agriculture and its impact on the agriculture sector and food security. Because of the significance and importance of such investment in the country, Cambodia was identified as one of the case study countries. The Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) organized and conducted this study. This case study report comprises the overview of agriculture sector and foreign investment in agriculture in Cambodia, policies and regulations affecting the foreign investment in agriculture, impact of the investment in the agriculture sector and policy recommendations.
