Presentation
PUAC aims at alleviating poverty of rural families living in the outskirts of the city of Kompong Speu. The beneficiaries are 156 poor farmers and their families living in 16 villages. PUAC is offering them a scope of services adapted to their main needs. The support given will allow them to improve the quality and the quantity of their agricultural productions and to increase their level of incomes. Farmers receive training for the production of high value added vegetables. The vegetable produces are chemical residue free meaning that there is no use of chemical pesticides during the production. PUAC became an agricultural cooperative since June 2009. The cooperative is managed by farmers and provide services as financial support, quality control, transport and marketing, the procurement of agricultural inputs, and direct support to auto-promotion.
Reduce poverty and Produce good quality products
  • Nearly 80% of the labor force is dependent on agriculture as their primary source of livelihood however low productivity and poor market development is resulting in low levels of growth in this sector. Rural people, relying on agriculture for their livelihoods, suffers the greatest incidence of poverty; 85 percent of the population and 90 percent of the poor are concentrated in rural areas.


  • This action aims to contribute to the poverty alleviation of rural families from Kompong Speu, the second poorest province of the country. The Peri-Urban Agricultural Centre (PUAC) is offering agricultural services to farmers and their families.


  • The objective is to strengthen support to the production of high added value and chemical residue free vegetables and the organization of the commercialization channel of the farmer production to hotels, restaurants and supermarkets of Phnom Penh; thus directly contributing to the increase of farmers’ incomes.


  • PUAC has 2 hectares of land at Kompong Speu to implement research and development activities for trials of new varieties and organic cultural practices. Some high quality vegetables not interesting for farmers are as well produced in the centre
