Learning Rout on Pro-Poor Rural PPP Shown the evidence of: • Introduction of organic farming technology • Important role of the Private Sector • Contract farming modality • How to run organic agriculture market • Important role of marketing Establish a facility network to get access to the know how and facilities across the neighboring countries: Thailand and Vietnam

The Organic Farming Clinic Project (OFCP) is packing the opportunities and lesson learnt from learning route on PPP into sustainable PPP model for Cambodia.
