1. Background
1.1. Basic agriculture production and protection scenario
Cambodia is an agrarian country with its economic foundation still largely based on the
agriculture sector, in which over 80% of the population live in the rural areas and make their living
from agriculture. In this pattern of socio-economic evolution, the Royal Government of Cambodia
(RGC) has regarded the sector as high priority in its national development agenda.
Since the decade of 1990, the RGC has subsequently set out and actively implemented its
strategies and development plans focusing on the promotion of agriculture and rural development,
such as Socio-Economic Development Plan (1996-2000), Socio-Economic Development Plan (2001-
2005), National Strategy for Poverty Reduction, Rectangular Strategy, and Phase II Rectangular
Strategy. Thus far, the RGC has achieved its overarching goals of poverty reduction at a very
satisfactory rate, through improved agricultural productivity, assured food security, employment
generation, increased farmers’ household incomes, and export of agricultural products to regional
and international markets.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) has promoted all forms of agricultural
production, especially for strategic crops, such as rice, rubber and subsidiary crops (vegetables, fruit
tries), not only to meet local food demand but also to obtain a surplus for export.
Generally in Cambodia, vegetable and fruit crops have been grown by smallholders, although
some fruit tree area are bigger than vegetable crops. Hence, farmers are carrying out the main role
to grow vegetable and fruit crop for supplying to the local markets. It is worthwhile to note that the
knowledge and experience of farmers in horticulture sector are limited. Some training interventions
in vegetable productions have been supported by organizations, but the assistances have been
minimal for fruit tree. Consequently, farmers have not been able to produce horticultural corps
especially fruits in an economically viable and environmentally friendly manner. Currently, fruit and
vegetable produces in Cambodia are not enough for supplying local markets. Cambodia imports
many kinds of vegetables and fruits from Vietnam and Thailand for feeding markets demand.
Moreover, Cambodia also imports some fruits from China, Europe and United State as well, such as
apple and grape. In 2009, Cambodian farmers produced only 322,731 Tons of vegetables from
50,278 ha (MAFF April 2010). According to MAFF 2008, approximately 20% of rural households

engage in some vegetable productions which can generate higher returns than rice. For example,
farmers can get US$ 400/ha for cauliflower, US$1,400/ha for lettuce, and US$3,000/ha for black
pepper, compared to US$100-300/ha for rice.
It is estimated that Cambodia imports up to 70% of vegetables consumed locally from
Vietnam. The main vegetable varieties imported are onions, red garlic, carrots, potatoes, cabbage
and Chinese cabbage. Volumes imported vary from 40t/day between December and March to
160t/day between April and November. The vegetables originate from Ho Chi Mich City market or
from producer in Dalat province. Approximately, 60% of the vegetables have been transported cross
the border at Trapeang Phlong in Kampong Cham province and 20% at Bavet in Svay Rieng province.
Presently, chili is mainly growing in Kampong Cham and Kadal provinces for export to the
Thailand and also for supplying to the local markets. However, there is no official data available for
the exported volume of chilies to the Thailand.

1.2 Current status of vegetable production
Vegetable crops are the second most important commodity after rice. Vegetables provide an
affordable source of nutrition for lower income families. As short duration crops, vegetables are also
a source of much needed cash for farmers, especially those with access to irrigation water from
rivers, lakes, creeks and open wells. The major vegetable crops include cabbage, Chinese cabbage,
onion, lettuce, and tomato, cucumber, squash, shallot, gourds, beans and chilies. The major
vegetable producing provinces are Kampong Chhnang, Kandal, Kampong Cham, Takeo, Kampot,
Siem Reap, and Battambang.

1.3 Current status of the fruit production
There are several types of fruit grown in Cambodia. Table 3 shows the production area for
each kind of fruit that are commonly infested by fruit fly. Mango has the largest area of production
in Cambodia and is usually seriously infested by fruit fly. Normally, farmers are growing fruit tree
crops in bigger farms in upland than low land areas. The total areas of grown fruit trees are174, 533
hectares (MAFF April, 2010).

2.0 Fruit flies in Cambodia
The vegetable crops infested by melon fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae) are bitter gourd,
cucumber, pumpkin, water melon, sponge gourd, ridge gourd; ask gourd, bottle gourd, eggplant,
tomato and chili. These crops are grown almost the whole year round and where water is available,
except for chili that is normally grown after the rainy or flood season. Water melon is planted from
late wet season until early wet season. Among all above crops, bitter gourd has the highest
percentage of infestation and damage by B. cururbitae. The peak infestation of melon fly, B.
cucubitae on vegetable crops is observed during the dry season.
In Cambodia, the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, usually attacks the fruit crops grown
in small areas near farmer houses and big farms such as Mango, Orange, Guava, Logan, Sapota,
Custard-apple, Jujube and Star apple. These crops normally are infested during late fruiting stage,
mostly nearly ripening. The seasonal peak infestation are varying based on crop cycle, for instance,
mango fruits are attacked by fruit flies during the dry season in the ripening stage, and orange are
heavily damaged in wet season.
To control fruit fly farmers have been using a lot insecticides. It was observed that the
chemical intervention was not sustainably effective. Moreover, it has caused problems of killing
beneficial natural enemies, health and trading due to high chemical residues. For sustainable
horticulture production and protection, export and trade, food security and poverty reduction, field
sanitation, attractant trap and protein bait are recommended to use for managing and controlling
fruit fly. Methyl-eugenol (ME) is recommended to use in the trap to attract B. dorsalis (male), and
Cuelure (Cl) to attract B. cucubitae (male).
Based on a survey in Kampot and Takeo provinces, the following species of fruit flies are
believed to be present in Cambodia but need to be reconfirmed through a proper survey of the fruit
flies present in the country1
:
1-Bactrocera dorsalis 2- Bactrocera correcta 3- Bactrocera cucurbitae
4- Bactrocera tau 5- Bactrocera caudata 6- Dacus longicornis
7- Bactrocera dorsalis complex 8- Bactrocera tuberculata
1 Species identified by ASEAN Fruit Fly Center in Malaysia.

9 | P a g e
Based on the data from Kampong Cham and Kandal provinces the highest infested crop is
Better gourd. The infestation of melon flies caused yield losses up to 35% in Kampong Cham and
45% in Kandal. The Mango, Orange, Guava, Logan, Sapota, Custard-apple, Jujube and Star apple crop
is normally infested during fruiting stage, mostly nearly ripening. The highest infested crops are
Jujube and mango that cause yield losses around 35% (Jujube) and 30% (mango).
The methods mostly used by farmers are to spray pesticides. Some farmers in Kandal
province spray pesticides by mixing 4-6 kinds for controlling melon fly in Bitter gourd production.
Those pesticides are Abamectin, Dithan, Ridomyl (Mancozeb+Metalaxyl), Mancozeb, Actara
(Thiamethoxam) and Cypermethrin. Farmers used these chemical products up to more than 10 times
per cropping season and spent from 30% to 40% of the total expense in bitter gourd production.
Some farmers also use the male lures Methyl-eugenol (ME) and Cue lure (CUE) in traps to attract
and kill male B. dorsalis and B. Cucurbitae respectively. Some vegetable farmers use a combination
of chemical pesticides and attractive trap in bitter gourd production. With regard to fruit trees, some
farmers have used the trap or chemical pesticides to control the fruit fly. Jujube and Mango crops
have been seriously infested by fruit fly (B. dorsalis) that farmers used a lot of chemical pesticides.
Farmers who grow mango in Kean Svay district, Kandal province, spray Abamectin, Dithan,
Cypermetrin and Karate every 07-10 day after flowering for controlling the fruit fly. Farmers also use
chemical pesticides in Jujube production to control the flies as well. Some guava farmers are bagging
guava fruits with plastic for protecting from the fruit fly infestation. However, some farmers did not
take any intervention to control the fruit fly on milk fruit, custard apple, sapota, longan, guava,
orange and mango where growing in small area near their house.

2.1. Present and Past Research and Development Initiatives on Fruit Flies
2.1.1 FAO Project:
Under the FAO support, a project title: Strengthening the Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Services, Project Code: TCP/CMB/3104 (D), which started in Nov 2008 and ended in December 2009,
provided training to technical officers from the Department of Plan Protection, CARDI and Royal
University of Agriculture on: fruit fly surveillance, fruit flies background, type of surveillance, identify
target pests and hosts, status of host pest – mango, fruit flies, fruit fly surveillance methodologies
and sampling, insect classification, and identification of collected specimen /GPS mapping.
2.1.2. CARF: The Fruit Flies in Mango Management in Cambodia
The project is being implemented in order to identify fruit fly species present in mango
orchards in Cambodia and quantify damage incurred in mango orchards due to fruit fly. During the
project period, the surveillance including presence, population density, spread and damage of fruit
flies on mango in Takeo and Kampot province have been conducted.

3. The National IPM Farmer Education
3.1. The National IPM Programme
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) initiated the Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) Programme from 1993 after “The Environment and IPM” workshop was held at
the Royal University of Agriculture, Phnom Penh. At this time Cambodia joined 12 other Asian
countries as part of the FAO Inter-Country Programme in Rice IPM in South and Southeast Asia with
technical assistance and financial support from FAO (under TCP arrangements), IDRC and IRRI. FAO
supported RGC in the implementation of a season long Training of Trainers’ Course (TOT), a Farmer
Trainer Orientation Course (FTOC) and Farmer Field Schools (FFS) in 1996 before Cambodia joined
the FAO Southeast Asia Regional Vegetable IPM Programme (GCP/RAS/168/AUL) in 1997.
The National IPM Programme is positioned within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries (MAFF) and its General Directorate of Agriculture (GDA) is responsible for the
implementation. The National Programme is currently operating in 18 major agricultural production
provinces plus Phnom Penh municipality. The implementation of the Programme has been in close
co-operation and collaboration with other concerned ministries, provincial departments of
agriculture, local and international organizations and research institutions at all levels.
The overall goal is to improve food security and safety through the promotion of Integrated
Pest and Crop Management skills at the farm level. IPM enables farmers to grow healthy crops
considering production sustainability and socio-economic effectiveness, while safeguarding human
health and protecting the natural environment.
3.2. The Farmers Education on IPM
Major training activities implemented are training of trainers courses on rice, vegetable,
water melon, rice-fish-vegetable and mung bean; training of farmer trainers; farmer field schools on
the above mentioned crops; farmer life schools; refresher courses for district and farmer trainers;
living soil training; training on farmer self studies on pesticide health hazards for reducing pesticide
risk; farmer congress; study tour and exchange visits; workshops and meetings; field studies and
experiments; development of community IPM and establishment of farmer clubs; organic rice;
chemical-free vegetable associations; monitoring and impact assessment; and so on.

4.3 Selection of the project implementation site based on GIS mapping
Based on the available information on crop acreage, purpose of crop growing, presence and
absence of fruit fly species, reach of IPM programme (availability experienced IPM trainers),
estimated losses due to fruit fly species (as there is no information or field data on losses available)
GIS assisted maps were prepared (see http://ipm.ait.asia/?page_id=254). Further putting other
criteria like frequent backstopping support, ease of transportation etc. two provinces namely Kandal
and Battambang were selected as sites for project implementation (see fig. 1).
