Khmer Farmer Products
Shop with Khmer Farmer Products and support marginalised farmers and communities in rural Cambodia
Khmer Farmer Products (KFP) is an FLD initiative on behalf of Cambodia's poorer farmers, marginalised communities and the many young women's groups it mentors and supports. It allows former trainees to gain commercial confidence in their new skills, and improve their incomes and livelihoods
KFP is a social enterprise that packages, markets and sells products made by groups, formed during FLD training and micro-finance projects. This approach is necessary because providing vocational skills and business training to young women and others in the rural community is not enough. They face difficulties in finding outlets that will pay them a fair price.
KFP's role is to find better paying customers and act as a marketing intermediary between them and the farmer. It also pays for the goods before it markets them, either through its own shop in Tuol Kork, Phnom Penh, other retail outlets throughout the capital and at trade and craft fairs. Other KFP shops are planned for provinces where FLD works with rural communities
The 'Khmer Empire' brand was created to market an expanding product range: wild honey, woven baskets, snack foods, a range of clothing, other sewing products, stone sculpture and malis/jasmine rice.
