A solar-powered irrigation system installed in at Handcrafted Cashew Nuts Stung Treng (HCST) effectively distributes water for planting cashew. By generating electricity from solar renewable energy, HCST has embraced climate-smart farming and lowered their production cost. Located in the Stung Treng province in northeast Cambodia, HCST is a woman-owned cashew processor aiming to promote local products to export markets by improving its processing facilities and strengthening supply chains. It has helped hundreds of local producers including women, youth, and members of marginalized groups strengthen climate-smart agricultural practices and increase incomes.
