Cambodia needs more Chinese investments in agriculture: parliament president

PHNOM PENH, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia wants to see more Chinese investors in agricultural sector, especially the investments in rice and cassava, Heng Samrin, President of the National Assembly, said Thursday.

   He added that now Cambodia can be a favorable investment destination for China since Cambodia and China had signed rice and cassava export agreements in last October and December respectively in order to enable the exports of the two products from Cambodia to China.
   Meanwhile, Gao Hong  Zhi said that his newly established firm will focus on buying Cambodian agricultural products to export to China.
   “At the start, the firm is studying the possibility to buy dried cassava chips, and then we will consider buying other products such as rubber and rice,” he said.
