CRF urges millers to pay up
The Cambodia Rice Federation will hold a meeting with milled rice exporters tomorrow to enforce the payment of fees for the federation’s operations. The meeting comes amid criticism from exporters that the CRF had done nothing to boost their exports and seek new markets. Hun Lak, vice president of the CRF said on May 2 that all exporters were invited to the meeting to give feedback over the fee exporters should pay to the CRF. He said that since the establishment of the CRF many years ago all the members, who were mainly exporters, had agreed on the fee. “We are going to talk with concerned parties and exporters about the issue. However, we won’t impose any strict measures on them,” he said. “This is the issue that we are going to talk about and iron out with the exporters,” he said.
