In mid of 2021, the General Directorate of Rubber (GDR) and Cambodian
Rubber Research Institute (CRRI), in collaboration with the NGO Forum on
Cambodia (NGOF), Oxfam in Cambodia and WWF Cambodia has successfully
conducted a study on Development of Sustainable Natural Rubber (SNR)
Criteria and key indicators in Cambodia by a group of international
experts. This assignment was to support the process of inclusive
development of SNR principles, criteria and indicators to transform
rubber cultivation and supply chains in Cambodia. The result of the
study served as a strategic paper and reference document for further
development of SNR guidelines in Cambodia in future. The SNR Principles
study included a desk review to compare and contrast existing SNR
principles from other well-known institutions such as IRSG, GPSNR,
ANRPC, and Chinese SNR principles (CCCMC) in order to define commonality
and synergy among the emerging standards. Moreover, the expert team has
assessed socio-economic and environmental performance in the context of
promoting sustainable natural rubber practices for large, medium and
small-scale rubber plantations. At the end of the study, SNR criteria
and indicators (Small, Medium and Large scales) that aligns with
Cambodia’s SNR principles, were identified and submitted to GDR for
further development and use as reference for the development of SNR
Guideline.
This SNR Guideline Development is the next level of SNR Principles. Hereby, a working group which comprises of the GDR, CRRI, NGOF, Oxfam and WWF was established in April 2022 to support the development of the SNR Guidelines for Cambodia.
The working group is looking for a Consultant to develop SNR Guidelines for Cambodia. The consultant will deliver output within 3 months (October-December 2022).
