Did you know Australia is supporting the Cambodian Government to develop an Agri-food Industrial Park (AIP)?

The park will increase Cambodia’s agricultural value-added products and exports. It is expected to contribute USD 5.1 billion to the Cambodian economy by 2045, and create up to 100,000 new jobs, over half of which will be for women.

The AIP will be a hub for agrifood-processing, research and development, capacity building, and is being developed to provide an inclusive, safe workplace and environment, especially for women and marginalised employees.

In April this year, the Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED) program organised a visit for Cambodia’s AIP Steering Committee members to Melbourne and Perth to see different Australian Agri-food Industrial Parks and learn about AIP ecosystems including food innovation, enabling business environment and government policies in Australia.

Shout out to our new rice variety Champei Sar 70 (CPS70)! Australia, together with Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, launched CPS70 in April this year, with the rice seeds distributed to the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, សហព័ន្ធស្រូវអង្ករកម្ពុជា Cambodia Rice Federation - CRF, agriculture cooperatives, and farmers. These are now being planted and you’ll soon be able to buy the harvested rice from your nearby markets.

CPS70 is the proud result of a collaboration between Australia and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute. It is a new rice variety crossbred from five-time award-winning Cambodian rice variety, Phka Rumduol. It is non-seasonal and can be harvested within just 3 months and due to its high resilience, can be grown 2-3 times a year, increasing annual production volumes and incomes.
In 2022, Cambodia exported 637,004 tons of milled rice valued at USD 414 million, and 3.4 million tons of unmilled rice worth USD 1.2 billion, according to Cambodian Rice Federation.

In this video, a farmer from Banteay Meanchey, shares her interest in growing CPS70. She expresses that she usually leaves her seven-hectare farm empty for half a year, but by planting CPS70, she hopes to get more crop cycles annually.
