Cambodia has two seasons for Corn crop. The wet season is the main Corn crop season. Sowing starts in July to August, with harvest from October to November. The dry season crop begins in February to March, and the crop is harvested from June to July. MY21/22 includes the 2021 wet season and 2022 dry season.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) estimated MY21/22 Corn production lower than the previous year at 792,000 tons (19 percent). Red/yellow Corn, which is used for feed manufacturing, generally accounts for 90 percent of total production. MAFF’s data shows an increase of 15 percent in cassava cultivated areas; sources also said Corn farmers continued to switch to cassava due to higher demand for cassava chips and starch, higher prices, and fewer husbandry efforts.
