Rice Production Increases as Country Moves Toward 2015 Export Goal
Economists and agriculture officials say Cambodia could export 1 million tons of milled rice by 2015, but that depends on improvements in the sector, along with some global factors out of the control of the country’s farmers and millers. Prime Minister Hun Sen has set the goal for 1 million tons of exported rice by 2015, but the country is so far below the target… Cambodia exported 200,000 tons of rice to 48 countries last year. The goal is to reach 250,000 tons this year.
