Two Cambodian lawmakers are planning a trip to Iran in May, where they hope to convince leaders there to consider investment in agriculture and to buy the country’s farm products.
Cambodia has sought similar deals in Middle Eastern countries like Kuwait and Qatar, where food shortages are a concern, but the visit to Iran represents a first. Cambodia expects a rice surplus of about 2 million tons for export this year and is seeking diverse markets in which to sell it.
Try Chheang Huot, chairman of the National Assembly’s committee on investment and agriculture, told VOA Khmer Wednesday he hoped to make the visit around May 10.
