Poultry production has the potential to increase employment opportunities, ensure food security, promote food safety, contribute to economic growth, and reduce poverty in Cambodia. This study analyzed the chicken production and marketing chain in Kampong Ror district, Svay Rieng province, Cambodia, focusing on two communes: Prey Thum and Thnoat. A total of 188 samples were collected from eight villages using Yamane's formula. The primary objective was to assess the economic impact of chicken production on farmers, middlemen, wholesalers, and small sellers. Results indicate that farmers in Thnoat Commune had higher average cross income and profit per chicken production cycle compared to those in Prey Thum Commune. Middlemen in both communes earned similar profits, but their cross income varied slightly. Wholesalers in Thnoat Commune had higher average cross income and profit per sale than those in Prey Thum Commune. Small sellers in Thnoat Commune also had higher average cross income. In terms of economic efficiency, farmers demonstrated the highest efficiency, followed by small sellers, middlemen, and wholesalers. While farmers had the most significant economic impact, their profit margins were relatively low compared to wholesalers. The study highlights the importance of all participants in the chicken production chain for enhancing local and national economies
