Steady Prices, Farmer’s Income Increases
With a partnership between cashew farmers and cashew nut processors, USAID Greening Prey Lang believes: “When farmers are linked with businesses that buy their agricultural products at better prices than the market, they don’t have to worry about whether their products will be sold or not, if the price will go down, then the demand for Prey Lang forest will decrease, thereby reducing deforestation that damages the ecosystem.”

The forest covers an estimated area of 3,600 square kilometers. It is one of the last remaining lowland evergreen forests in Southeast Asia.
