On April 22, 2025, the RiceGX-SATREPS Project held its 3rd Farmers Workshop in Pursat Province to establish Cambodia’s first Farmers Water User Sub-Group (FWUSG) under the existing FWUC framework. The workshop brought together 50 participants including local farmers and officials from PDAFF, PDWRAM, RUA, and Japanese experts. Key topics included FWUSG structure, six-block irrigation rotation, and leadership selection. The group agreed to nominate two representatives from each village in the 60-hectare model site. This initiative supports intermittent irrigation - a method that reduces methane emissions and promotes sustainable rice farming. The project is implemented in collaboration with JICA, RUA, ITC, and other partners.
