  abstract = {{I}nadequate child nutrition during the first '1000 days' is widespread in {C}ambodia, resulting in a high prevalence of child malnutrition. {A}ccess to processed complementary food in packages ({PCFP}) may support caretakers in improving diet of young children. {T}his study aimed to evaluate the caretakers' preferences and willingness-to-pay ({WTP}) for {PCFP} in {C}ambodia. {T}he study was conducted in urban and rural settings, involving 520 caretakers with children aged 7-24 months in {P}hnom {P}enh (urban) and {P}rey {V}eng (rural). {F}our {PCFP}s were included: a commercial brand, a social-commercial brand, a worldwide distributed fortified complementary food aid product ({CSB}++) and an experimental fortified rice-and-fish-based {PCFP} developed in {C}ambodia ({WF}-{L}). {S}ensory analysis was conducted for all products, stated {WTP} was assessed for three products (excluding {CSB}++) and actual {WTP} experiment was conducted on {WF}-{L} only. {O}ur results show that overall, {WF}-{L} was preferred by the rural participants over food aid {CSB}++. {F}urther improvements in the organoleptic qualities of {WF}-{L} should focus on consistency and taste. {T}he participants were, on average, willing to pay 1,667 {C}ambodian riel ({KHR}, $0.4) and 1,192 {KHR} ($0.3) in urban and rural settings, respectively, for 35 g of {WF}-{L}. {W}e also found that despite being nutritionally inadequate, most participants considered homemade porridge to be healthier, more practical and preferred by the children. {T}herefore improving the quality of homemade foods merits urgent consideration. {W}hen applying {PCFP} in nutrition programmes as a supplementary option to homemade complementary foods, locally produced products could be a more viable supplementary option than global food aid.},
