Three animal feed production companies, namely Khmer Fresh Mill (KFM) Co., Ltd., GREENFEED Cambodia Co., Ltd. and Dangkhao Pang Animal Feed Enterprise, have entered into cooperation memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to purchase agricultural produce such as red maize, cassava, and other local raw materials for animal feed production.
The MoU signing ceremony was held here this morning under the presidency of H.E. Mrs. Cham Nimul, Minister of Commerce.
Under the MoUs, the three companies will annually purchase 54,000 tonnes of red maize; 13,000 tonnes of cassava; 12,800 tonnes of broken rice; and 30,000 tonnes of rice husk.
H.E. Mrs. Cham Nimul stressed the indispensable role and involvement of private sector, particularly all animal feed production companies in Cambodia in local product consumption and processing promotion to boost productivity, enhance agricultural supplies, and increase business opportunities in contribution to augment income and improve livelihoods of local farmers.
The minister thanked all animal feed producers in Cambodia for continuing their close and active cooperation with the Royal Government, especially the Ministry of Commerce, and instructed the Ministry’s working group to continue collaborating with relevant ministries and institutions on planning cultivation and purchasing agricultural produce for animal feed production through the formulation of matching between silo companies or community farmers and animal feed producers, with a focus on compliance with quality requirements to ensure stable supply and orders, and safety for consumers.
