Australia supports Cambodian farmers amid rising fertiliser costs

Australia supports Cambodian farmers amid rising fertiliser costs

Global shocks continue to disrupt supply chains. The cost of imported fertiliser and livestock feed has increased by up to 30 per cent, putting pressure on Cambodian farmers.

 

Australia is exploring practical and high-impact solutions to respond to these disruptions and help smallholder farmers manage shocks while strengthening food security and resilience.

 

Through the CNai Accelerator program, Australia has supported 60 small businesses developing local solutions. A leading example is Evola, an innovative enterprise transforming food waste into high-protein animal feed and organic fertiliser using black soldier fly technology.

 

This approach is helping reduce reliance on costly fertiliser imports, improving soil health and cutting landfill waste. 

 

Australia is invested in making Cambodia’s agriculture sector more productive, sustainable and resilient.
