On July 26, 2019, a group of rice farmer clusters signed a Contract Farming Agreement with Cambodia Development of Farming Season Association (Monita group co., Ltd.), supported by the AIMS Project Team from the Regional Hub of Battambang and the PDOC-Battambang. After the formulation of clusters, both parties agreed on the following: (i) trader is responsible for collecting all rice harvest from farmers, transport them to the main road in the commune, where the transport system can have easy access; (ii) fixing on the price of rice despite the fact that price in the market has changed; (iii) farmers can be a member of the association of rice miller and farmers and (iv) the farmers have to sell 80% of harvested rice to the company as stated in the agreement and the other 20% can be sold to other traders if the price offered is higher than the company.
