Food products flow to Cambodia following floods

[Tuoitrenews.vn] 

Traders in the Mekong Delta provinces have been busily collecting and exporting rice and other agricultural products to Cambodia to make up for the shortage caused by recent floods in the country.

Traders have blocked the Vinh Te canal at the Tinh Bien border gate in An Giang Province, waiting to buy rice from local farmers before heading to Cambodia, Sai Gon Tiep Thi reported.

They said demand for rice is very high in Cambodia and Thailand, both of which have been affected by devastating floods.

“Local farmers are happy since they can sell at good prices,” Nam Nhon, a trader in Chau Doc town, said.

He added that traders from Can Tho city, Vinh Long and An Giang provinces flock to Tinh Bien every day to collect rice.

Nguyen Thanh Hung, a customs official at the border gate, said dozens of boats loaded with rice pass through the gate to Cambodia on a daily basis.

At the Khanh Binh border gate and Long Binh market in An Phu District, other agricultural products have also been exported to Cambodia in large quantities.

An estimated forty tons of fruits and vegetables are shipped to the neighboring country every day via Long Binh market, local traders said.

Hien, a Vietnamese trader living in Cambodia, said the country was facing a severe shortage of certain vegetables such as cucumber, cabbage, pumpkin and chili.

“Prices have gone up by 30 percent and Vietnamese products are widely consumed in Cambodia,” she said.

A local agriculture official stated that Cambodia will remain a potential agricultural export market for An Giang in the years to come.

“[Cambodia] has yet to restore supply for its domestic market,” he said.

  16. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But think of if you added
    some great images or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Awesome blog!
