News Article: CEDAC calls for conservati​on of rice stubble to improve soil fertility and farmers ‘livelihoo​d

Dear Members of the Press,

CEDAC has been working for years to assist farmers to improve soil fertility.

Conserving rice stubble after harvesting is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve soil fertility. According to Dr. Yang Saing Koma, President of CEDAC, rice stubble is very useful as a natural resource for farmers to use as a fertilizer and to sustain their livelihoods.

To this end, CEDAC calls for farmers and other stakeholders not to burn rice stubble.

For more details, please refer to the attached news article in Khmer.

Thanks and best regards,

Him Khortieth
