PHNOM PENH (Commodity Online) : Cambodia’s Mondulkiri’s coffee was increasingly popular in local and international markets, after several years of market constraint saw farmers give up the crop to grow rubber instead.
Sales of the particular variety of coffee had increased to 30 tonnes this year, up from 18 tonnes in 2009 in the local market.
Cambodia’s Department of Commerce said Mondulkiri’coffee was grown on about 50 hectares of farm land in the province, yielding about 70 tonnes, and sold for around 20,000 riel per kilo.
Previously the brew barely had a market and had struggled with adequate pricing in the last several years, with coffee farmers hardly surviving in the past.
In the early 1990s the crop was grown on nearly 200 hectares of land. However as the price dropped to 2,000 riel per kilo, farmers gave up and grew rubber instead.
However, despite the growing demand, officials cited low capacity of production as an obstacle for exports.
