Government seeks improved food security via seed distribution

Prime Minister Hun Manet of Cambodia has directed officials to enhance the management of food security by supplying rice seeds for replanting on The National Nutrition Day. In addition, he gave the Cambodian Food Reserve System Management Committee orders to encourage crop production and expedite the process of replanting following natural disasters. In order to minimize food loss and waste, he also gave orders to all ministries and organizations involved in the food safety system to work together. To create a micronutrient food policy, the Ministry of Planning must collaborate with other ministries, establishments, development partners, civil society groups, and the commercial sector. With notable gains in maternal and child nutrition indices over the last two years, Cambodia has improved the nutrition of both women and children.
