Idemitsu of Japan To Implement Contraction Farming on 13,000 ha of Landmine-cleared Area in Battambang

28 May 2014

The Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) held a discussion last week with Idenmitsu of Japan on contraction farming project after the company reached a Memorandum of Understanding on Biomass Development Project in Cambodia with the Ministry of Agriculture in 2012.
The contraction framing project will cover some 13,000 hectares of landmine-cleared area in Battambang province’s Phnom Preuk district at the total cost of some US$70 million. The project will be implemented directly with local farmers to plant cassava and construct a bio-fuel factory. Through this project, local farmers will get experience and technical knowledge as well as many other benefits.
