Since the end of its long civil war, most of people in the rural areas has lived below standard of living and they have strongly relied on traditional agriculture. Moreover, some communities have encountered many challenges such as lacking of agricultural technologies, entrepreneurial skills and agriproduct market, etc. Because they are mostly farmers, one of the most challenge of local community is accessing their agriproducts to markets. As a result, the middlemen take the opportunities to gain the benefits from local community by setting up the price lower than the actual market. Most of the poor are limited of education, knowledge, skills and creativeness in doing business, so they feel hesitate and afraid of doing it. The increase of migration to the urban causes the lack of labor and low
