Today, I read two interesting news regarding investments in Cambodia which is totally about 50 million US dollars. The first investment project involves the production of agricultural products in Kampong Cham Province, amounting from 15 to 20 million dollars. This investment belongs to a well-known company called “KOBE BUSSAN” that for this moment has 400 stores (supermarkets) in 40 prefectures. This company will mainly plant cucumbers, giant white radishes, ginger, and potatoes for local supply and for exporting to Japan, and this project will employ 1000 farmers. This is a very interesting project for there is a high demand market in Japan for these agricultural products, for farmers can learn how to grow these products in modern ways (different fron traditional one), and for creating more jobs (read here for details: HERE). The second project was funded by an American company called “CROWNBEVERAGECANS (CAMBODIA) LTD,” the capital of which amounts to 30 million dollars. This company has just opened a new factory producing packaging materials for beverage products including beer cans. This company will employ 50 employees who will later be sent for training in Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam (for more detail click HERE). There two projects are so interesting since they will produce something that Cambodia should do for so long.
