In a first for the Kingdom’s organic rice, the Cambodian Center for
Study and Development in Agriculture (CEDAC), successfully exported its produce
to Hong Kong earlier this month.
While the US and Germany have traditionally been the key markets for
Cambodian organic rice, with about 300 tons sent there last year, CEDAC
president Yang Saing Koma told the Post that his organization has exported 30
tons to Hong Kong this year, as the market for the Kingdom’s natural produce
expands. It is another positive sign to prove that Cambodia has new market for her
product.
Farmed without using synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers,
organic rice production must adhere to a stringent process in order to receive
certification. It is estimated that CEDAC will export at least 400 tons this
year, up from about 320 tons in 2013.
