Supply Chain
Food Purchases and In-Kind Receipts
In 2016, WFP's programmes used rice that was locally purchased in late 2015, which along with an in-kind donation
of 4,118 mt and complem entary commodities purchased internationally and in the region, provided sufficient stock
to sustain WFP activities in the country for the entire year. In addition, a pilot purchase of 5 mt of rice was
conducted from smallholder farmers to test their capacity. The lessons learned from this pilot pointed towards
opportunities for further engagement in 2017 on pricing, quality assurance and market intelligence, and indicated
that linkages to increasing local procurement by schools under the home-grown school feeding programme may
offer a platform for further elaboration.
Food Transport, Delivery and Handling
WFP conducted competitive contracting for transport, handling and other logistics services, consistently managing
to reduce the cost paid for these services and therefore maintaining efficient supply chain management.
Furthermore, new solutions were successfully piloted to simplify WFP supply chain, such as the direct delivery of
locally procured rice from the suppliers to the schools in the same region and direct deliveries of international food
shipments from the port to WFP's secondary warehouse in Siem Reap, allowing to save both costs and time.
Throughout the year, WFP delivered 7,032 mt of food commodities to 2,652 different programme destinations
around the country.
