Cambodia is expected to export around 1 million tons of rice to Vietnam this year
A rice venture with Cambodia will help save Vietnam from tough competition against the neighboring country in future rice exports, an official of the Vietnam Food Association said.
The rice area in Cambodia is as large as Vietnam, but Cambodia’s rice production figures are low due to the lack of modern technology, Vietnam Food Association Deputy Chairman Nguyen Tho Tri told the Saigon Economic Times Tuesday.
Still, the country has a surplus of rice for export to Thailand and Vietnam, Tri said. Cambodia is expected to export around 1 million tons of rice to Vietnam this year.
“If the huge potential is tapped, Cambodia will become a rice exporter as large as Vietnam.”
