Cambodia imports 50% of vegetable from Vietnam

By Khmerization

Cambodia has reportedly imported 50% of its daily vegetable consumption from Vietnam, reports everyday.com.

The report cited the statistics of Phnom Penh's Deum Kor Market, one of the country's biggest vegetable distribution point. Mr. Thong Heng, Chief of Deum Kor Market, said about 100 tons of vegetable have been imported by licensed importing companies through Tropeang Plong Checkpoint in Kampong Cham province everyday. He said, however, that many more tons of Vietnamese vegetable had been imported through other checkpoints, such as Koh Thom Checkpoint in Kandal province.

Many Cambodian vegetable growers, especially those from Kandal province, complained that they cannot compete against the cheap vegetable imports from Vietnam. Many complained that their vegetable have to be thrown away or sell cheap at a loss as they cost more to produce in Cambodia than in Vietnam. Many have said that they have abandoned their lands and stop growing vegetable because they are losing money.

Dear 11:00AM
Firstly tahnk for the info regarding your investment, however, this article is about import vegetables and how our farmers found hard to compete with cheap import.

Sad that Cambodia has to import such in great quantity from neighbouring country.

The govt. must find ways to curb the cheap imports like imposing high import taxes and so on, so our vegetable farmers can compete against cheap imports.

Another classic example of Youn dumping Youn craps into Cambodia to flood Cambodian market. Go ahead, welcome all the Youn made products into Cambodia. It's redicules that Khmer had to turn to eating produces and vegetables grown in Srok Youn when they can be grown in Srok Khmer. How stupid do Khmer have to be. This is one of the reason why ah satt Youn are looking down at Khmer. As much as we hate ah satt Youn, we keep buying their craps. How about cease buying Youn products and start help buying from Khmer for a change. It's common sense people.

4:36 PM, only the govt.can do that.It can take measures to curb the flow of cheap imports into Cambodia by imposing high taxes and strict regulations.

When high taxes are imposed, the products become more expensive to the same level as the Khmer produce, so Khmer farmers can definitely compete against the cheap imports on an equal footing.
