The US Agency for International Development has announced that it will team up with two local private firms on a $2 million investment in cold chain infrastructure and storage capacity for agricultural products and logistics purposes in Cambodia.
The partnerships aim to fill the gaps in the agricultural supply chain and tackle market system barriers that diminish import and export opportunities, USAID said in a statement. Khmer Cold Chain Co Ltd (KCCC) and Amru Rice (Cambodia) Co Ltd will develop, test, and operationalise agricultural cold chain storage and logistics capabilities and services in the nation, creating a secure, temperature-controlled supply chain.
