Summary
Rice production in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia—a remote, mountainous region adjacent to Thailand and Laos—faces unique challenges due to limited irrigation, small farm sizes, and geographical constraints. However, the province's distinct rice seeds offer potential for increased income and market access. A study using an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model identified key factors influencing rice yields, providing actionable insights for farmers to enhance productivity and profitability. By analyzing rice output against related variables, the research aims to inform targeted strategies that could boost sustainable rice production, improve livelihoods in rural farming communities, and contribute to broader economic growth. The findings underscore the importance of addressing controllable factors to optimize rice cultivation in this UNESCO World Heritage-adjacent region.
