Liberia has expressed keen interest to purchase key agricultural commodities from Cambodia, including milled rice, cassava and cashew nuts. The intent was articulated by Amin Modad, the Liberian Minister of Commerce and Industry, during a recent meeting with Cambodian officials in Geneva, Switzerland.
Discussions held between Minister Modad and Ouk Prachea, Secretary of State for Cambodia’s Ministry of Commerce, highlighted Liberia’s desire to explore and benefit from Cambodia’s agricultural prowess.
Modad specifically sought out insights into Cambodian methods to prepare and manage food reserves, as well as its expertise in milled rice production. He also requested Cambodia to provide samples of milled rice, cashew nuts and a detailed price list to facilitate potential trade arrangements.
In response, Secretary of State Prachea underscored Cambodia’s robust agricultural output and potential, highlighting the country’s significant export volumes, particularly in milled rice. He encouraged Liberia to assess the demand for Cambodian milled rice varieties and other agricultural products, offering to support Liberia in exploring potential trade opportunities.
