Cambodia has recently launched its first pilot program to insure farmers against loss of rice crops in five provinces, reported Khmer Times.
The five provinces are Kampong Chnang, Kampot, Takeo, Kampong Speu and Prey Veng.
The Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture started the initiative by forming the Cambodian Agriculture Cooperative Insurance Co.
The program aims to insure farmers against droughts and floods caused by climate change.
Weather experts have said that the country would see longer dry seasons and shorter rainy seasons due to climate change.
