Abstract

The objective of the study is to measure impacts of climate change on rice price and demand of rice in Cambodia under moderate emission scenario and high emission scenario, using supply and demand model of rice. The results show that yields of both wet and dry season rice and per capita consumption of rice under moderate emission scenario are higher than that under extreme climate change scenario, while rice price has the opposite trend. It can be concluded that climate change would affect marginalized groups of people in Cambodia. A well-established rice policy is necessary in Cambodia.
