Philippines to exchange technology with rice [from Cambodia]

MANILA, July 10 (Commodity Online): World's largest rice importer, Philippines said it will provide post harvest technology along with other agricultural produce to Cambodia in exchange for rice.

Philippines Agriculture ministry said the country wants to forge a counter trade deal with Cambodia for 300,000 metric tonnes of rice during the first Philippines-Cambodia Investment and Trade Mission this week.

In a statement, it said Cambodia has a lot of exportable rice surplus. Part of our mission is to get them to agree to a counter trade agreement wherein the Philippines will source 200 to 300,000 metric tonnes Cambodia rice in exchange for Philippine agricultural produce and post harvest technology.

"The problem with Cambodia is that they are not exporting their rice. It shares common border with Vietnam and Thailand, so that Thailand siphons majority of their rice. Technically speaking, what we buy from Thailand is Cambodia rice," the statement said.

Bilateral agreements with friendly neighbor the Philippines are good for Cambodia. ASEAN is pretty useless.

Filipinos have a big mouth and promise a lot!

Agriculture Technology???

They even cannot take care for their own people to produce enough rice.

Its pretty worst in the Philippines. Government do absolutely nothing for their people and even let them die when they have nothing to eat!

FAR MORE WORST than Cambodia!

Exchange is good for both of us but no one could say that Fillipines know how to cultivate rice better than Cambodians do because Cambodians do it for thousand years.

Cambodia must seek the know how anywhere in the world in technology to mass produce and modernize country and this is a good start in sharing technology from Philippine. It is better to deal with Philippine than Cambodian historic enemies!

Philippine is an Island countries with over 7 thousand islands with population of 94 million!


In addition, Cambodia can learn a lot about water transportation from Philippine.

Flip stands for "Funny looking island people." The girls do all the work and the guys are lazy shitheads. They also have a stupid law where they have to have Spanish last names. It's not a development if the only industries are sex. Just another trannyland. 2:02pm, You don't know shit little boy or should I call you little girl.
