Cambodia could fall short on rice seeds
Cambodia may fall short on the domestic demand for purified rice seedlings, which could dampen rice exports, government officials have said. Ouk Makara, director of the Cambodian Agricultural Research & Development Institute (CARDI), said that businesses have been increasingly eager to purchase purified seeds from the institute. He said that although CARDI produced 21 tonnes of purified seedlings in 2010 and increased production to 36 tonnes in 2011, the yielded amounts were unable to meet the market’s demand for the seeds.
