Abstract
ABSTRACT This study focuses on smallholders in Siem Reap, Cambodia to identify determinants of income levels and strategies for poverty reduction based on qualitative and quantitative sources. Data was collected through 60 quantitative questionnaires, ten long-form qualitative surveys, and eight key informant interviews. Results indicate that growing higher volumes of vegetables is strongly positively related to higher household income, yet nearly 90% of households reported reluctancy to grow vegetables because it requires technical skills, capital, and market risk. These results suggest that creating an environment in which smallholders can pursue horticulture with less risk could be a strong poverty alleviation measure.
