Meach Yady, chief of agricultural marketing at Cambodia’s Department of Planning and Statistics, said Cambodia wants Vietnamese firms to invest more in its agriculture and to diversify their investments.
He was speaking at a meeting held on Friday in HCM City to introduce the International Exhibition and Conference on Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture, Fisheries for Cambodia and Myanmar.
Cambodia imported large quantities of fruits and vegetables and other agricultural products from Vietnam, he said. He believes that Vietnamese firms could invest in growing cassava, maize, mung beans, vegetables and rice.
“There is great potential for investment in the agricultural and agri-business sectors. The Government is modernising logistics and infrastructure and streamlining the process to facilitate business processes.”
