It is a good move from RGC on getting Bruei agreement on agricultural produces from cambodia. That enables our economy moving and improves farming sector.

Well done Neang SA

Sorry. Please be informed that this article is INCORRECT. The Brunei Ambassador has NOT agreed to buy rice YEARLY from Cambodia. Plus his name is incorrect. From the real 'everyday.com.kh'. Please know that the Embassy never even talked or met with any reporter.
