| Description |
The study on the impact of hiked prices of food and basic commodities on poverty is designedas a follow-up CBMS survey of 5 villages in a Northwest province of Cambodia. The hikedprices in Cambodia and in CBMS sites occurred when there were changes in demand andprices of petrol, food and other consumer goods at the international market. The rising priceshave immediately resulted in food insecurity for many people and pushed small landholders intoindebtedness and deteriorated the capacity of the poor to cope with any future shocks or crises.This requires a stronger social safety net program and a better targeting policy intervention tosupport the poor and the vulnerable.Keywords: Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS); commodity prices; price levelchanges; cost of livingDOI: 10.3860/ber.v20i1.1667DLSU Business & Economics Review 20.1 (2010), pp. 31-45
