Agriculture has been a mainstay of the
Cambodian economy. It has seen significant growth throughout
the 2000s and showed a significant resilience against
external shocks during the 2008-09 economic and financial
crises. Agribusiness enterprises do not operate in isolation
from the rest of the economy. The state of production of
agricultural raw materials, the state of the financial
sector, and the nature of the financial sector's
engagement with the real sector activities, as well as
broader issues that affect private sector development all
impact the development of the agribusiness sector. The
current study seeks to analyze some of these linkages. It
focuses specifically on the role the financial sector has
played in the growth and development of the agribusiness
sector. The study builds on the existing analytical work on
agricultural and small and medium enterprise (SME) finance
in Cambodia. The study was carried out in three major
phases. The first phase was to determine a methodology to
gather new information on linkages between agribusinesses
and financial institutions. The second phase involved a
survey of financial institutions (banks, microfinance
institutions, and insurance companies) and 1,011
agribusinesses in Cambodia. The third phase emphasized
analyzing the data and compiling a report that highlighted
the key findings for the target audience. The report
provides the broader context of the sector issues related to
access to finance by agribusinesses, and review the
available analytical work.
