Cambodia to Export Organic Rice to Germany

Cambodia will start exporting organic jasmine rice to Germany at the beginning of next year, following an agreement originally made in 2007, local media reported on Monday, citing the Cambodian Centre for Study and Development in Agriculture (CEDAC).

Lang Seng Haung, CEDAC's enterprise manager, was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying that Cambodia would ship 100 tonnes of the rice to Germany in January as part of a three-year export agreement totaling 450 tonnes at the price of 1,400 U.S. dollars a tonne.

"We will increase our supply of this kind of rice to Germany in the coming years, which will afford Cambodian farmers an opportunity," he said, referring to the agreement, which will see 150 tonnes exported in 2011 and a further 200 tonnes during the following year to conclude the current deal.

In 2007, CEDAC, representing 8,000 organic rice growers in seven provinces, signed the trade agreement with German-based company Richers.

Lang Heng Haung said he anticipated that the United States would agree with further export orders of organic jasmine rice. Those orders would likely reach "at least 150 tonnes" in total over next year, he said.

So far this year CEDAC members have exported about 75 tonnes of organic rice, 60 tonnes of which went to the U.S. and 15 tonnes to Malaysia.

How can anyone stopped the Siamese government proganda, where the General Public in Siam accepted that Khmers are decendent of Siamese?

The Siamese are twisting every history fact to make Khmer Nation as inferior as Possible. For instance, Siamese Language is DERIVATIVE of KHMER written Language, but the Siamese concocted "khom" as derivative of their Language.

Today, Khmer NOT only risking of losing Territorial boundary to Siam, but WE KHMER RISKING LOSING OURS ANCESTRAL PRIDE WHAT MAKE KHMER KINGDOM FAME FOR THE LAST 2 MELLENIUM FACING OUT BECAUSE THE SIAMESE PROGANDA!

AS KHMER SCHOLARS ARE DYING OUT, THE KNOWLEDGES ARE FADING WITH A PERSON. WE KHMER NEEDS HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS REPOSITORIES ABROAD TO PRESERVE OUR ANCESTORS.

Our current government is not in the interest in Preserving Khmer Culture or Serving Khmer Nation. It's a sad state in Cambodia.
