The vegetable production in Cambodia has been plagued with poor productivity and broken chain, leaving the comparative advantage to the neighboring countries, namely Vietnam and Thailand. Poor soil condition during wet season has been significantly impacting the productivity of vegetable production in Cambodia which leads to an introduction of sub-surface drainage system at the root zone of Chinese cabbage under this paper. The aim of the experiment is to determine the possibility in increasing the effectiveness and productivity during wet season of Cambodian vegetable producers. The results of the experiment indicate positive improvement in terms of yield and growth of the Chinese cabbage at a rate of 24% and 34% for T2 and T3, respectively. There are, however, limited practicality and generalization for the research due to the controlling factors during the experiment and the detailed experimental setting which need further analysis, especially economic analysis and following up research work.
