The Battambang training brought together 37 participants, including nine women, from lead-farmer and producer-organisation groups in four provinces.

The session covered the Sustainable Rice Platform framework and internal management systems. These systems organise the responsibilities, records and checks used by groups working to meet agreed production requirements.
