Rural Farming Practice

The average annual income for rural Cambodians is a mere $135. Clearly, the destruction of education and industry during the Pol Pot regime is still affecting Cambodia. With limited knowledge most rural people use primitive rice farming techniques in order to "get by" each year. Chickens, ducks, a couple of young oxen, and some dogs along with a small garden or a place to grow rice is a common sight at most rural homes in Cambodia.
