Cambodia’s national rice industry assembles to crown the top grains
A farmer from Battambang province took this year’s honor of growing the country’s top rice paddy on 24 January as industry heavyweights gathered in Phnom Penh for the first of the three-day Cambodia Rice Forum.
“It is unbelievable,” said Hul Khlim, president of Sangha Phal Agriculture Community, when asked about winning the prize by telephone from his home in Bavel district’s Khnach Romeas commune. “I expect my customers will have more confidence in my community’s product.”
