Poor local showing at Phnom Penh’s agro fair
Cambodia’s biggest agriculture industry event of the year received a cool response on its first day as turnout from local agro-businesses was low and overseas suppliers struggled to find potential buyers for the latest agricultural products. The Agriculture, Livestock and Aqua-fisheries Exposition was held at Phnom Penh Hotel in the capital on August 8. Addressing the event’s opening ceremony, Nao Thuok, secretary of state at the Ministry of Agriculture, said the exposition aims to connect suppliers of agricultural equipment with local farmers.
