Mr. Korn Bunthoeun is 52 years old. He lives in Srae Ta Meaeng village, Tumnup Thom commune, Ponhea Leu district, Kandal province. His wife is Chim Sarun, 52 years old and have six children.
Before joining with AIMS project, he had no experience nor antecedent of recording expenditures and profits, not understanding of investment planning as well as market linkages. He raised 180 chickens per cycle for business at least three cycles per year. The production cost reached around $460 per cycle. Total income from sales per cycle is $688.5 and he got $228.5 of net profit per cycle. For annually, he got $685.5 per three cycles.
After joining with AIMS project, Mr. Korn Bunthoeun became a leader of the Srae Ta Meaeng chicken producer organization (PO) that formed by project in 2020. He started raising fattening chicken to generate income by investing the business model of Green Innovat Cam (GIC) a private company contracted out by AIMS to introduce a production and business model as technical production training, demonstration, field day and support on the process of Value Chain Innovations Funds (VCIF-Win1) for investment of chicken production.
He increases the number of chickens up to 250 heads per cycle in four blocks of chicken pen. The production cost reached around $690 per cycle. The total income from sales per cycle $1,114 and he got net profit $424 per cycle. The annual net profit reached $1,271. In comparison the situation before and after joining AIMS, the net profits increased by 85.45%. Mr. Korn Bunthoeun said that the mortality rate reduced from 15% to 10%.
In conclusion, the adoption of the introduced model enabled Mr. Bunthoeun to produce more chicken of good quality, reduce the mortality rate and most importantly generate more income. Mr. Bunthoeun, in addition to the existing local markets, intends to explore market linkages especially with the urban-based supermarkets as the production of the Producer Group increases in a significant manner.
