According to Cambodia's news agency AKP, in contribution to the improvement of Cambodia’s agricultural sector, Japan’s grant of about 75 million USD through JICA has been focusing on the western and southern part of the country.

Irrigation systems have been rehabilitated and constructed and a new rice intensification approach has been introduced to farmers in the two corners of Cambodia, considered to be the most potential.
