Abstract

Identifying opportunities for income generation is crucial for rural development. Rural smallholders need to recognize what kinds of commodities respond to local market demand and better understand access to markets. The overall objective of this study is to analyze the supply chain of Javanese long pepper (Dei-Phlei in Khmer, Piper retrofractum Vahl., Piperaceae), an important spice crop commonly grown in the hill areas of Takeo province, Southeastern Cambodia. Specifically, the study aims to define Dei-Phlei production system; to calculate economics efficiency of Dei-Phlei production; and to design the supply chain of Dei-Phlei production.
