Pailin
province’s $5 million animal-feed processing plant and warehouse is to finish
construction in the next three months and it is a welcomed development for the
local farming community.
The
plant's owner who also owns Diamond Crown casino on the border with Thailand in
Pailin province, told the Post yesterday that the two hectare plant is set to
finish by October this year. The plant and warehouse are part of his 110
hectares pig farm which has already received $10 million in investment. He said
that the plant can store up to 60,000 tons of dried cassava and corn and it is
not only for the benefit of his pig farm as local farmers can also take
advantage of the facilities.
Deputy Director
of the Pailin longan collective, whose members are also cassava and corn
farmers, said yesterday that farmers depend on brokers to buy their harvest
before exporting to Thailand.
