For the first time, Chinese companies are
buying cassava directly from Cambodia and envisioning larger quality with
better price for local farmers.
China’s Unison cargo ship recently docked at
Sihanouk province’s port of Cambodia to load 7,500 tons of cassava. Big cassava
producer provinces for this order of China are Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Siem
Reap, Battambang and Pursat. A Chinese company has also invested in growing the
crops in 80,000 hectares of land in Cambodia. The Chinese companies are looking
for solution for cheap cassava transport from different provinces to the port
so that they can increase the price of the crops for the Cambodian farmers.
