Cambodia Rice millers invest in packaging factory

THE Federation of Cambodian Rice Millers Associations announced Tuesday that it had invested US$7.8 million to construct a packaging plant for milled rice in Battambang province, a move it said would help boost Cambodia's prospects for exporting rice.

Federation President Phou Puy said construction of the factory was already 90 percent complete, and that the plant would go online in December.
 

A French delegation will head to Cambodia this month to discuss with officials methods to help strengthen the Kingdom's rice- and rubber-export industries, Mao Thora said.

Last month, Phou Puy said that the federation planned to export 200,000 tonnes of milled rice next year.
