PHNOM PENH, Dec 24 (Bernama) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen (pictured) on Thursday broke the groundwork to build the biggest fertilizer factory in the country with spome US$65 million investment from Vietnam, reports China's Xinhua news agency.
"This is the seventh fertilizer factory but it is the biggest one in the country and the fertilizer from this factory will help to improve other agricultural crops," Hun Sen said at the ground breaking ceremony at Kein Svay district in Kandal province, about 30 km southeastern part of Phnom Penh capital.
Kien Svay is the main place producing the vegetables and other fruit to support Phnom Penh residents.
Hun Sen said that this factory has capacity of 350,000 tonnes of agricultural fertilizer product for first step and second step it will produce about 500, 000 tonnes annually.
The six others totally have capacity to produce about 10,000 tonnes of fertilizer only, the premier said.
It needs 24 months to end this construction project, according to the premier, and could offer about 500 job opportunities. "The fertilizer from this factory will also export to foreign markets," he said.
Meanwhile, Hun Sen thanked Vietnam, China, and South Korea for being the three biggest investment in Cambodia, even being hit by the global economic crisis.

the question is, will the
factory use
the illegal immigrant(Viets)
as the fertilizer
SO the Cambodian 's economy under vietnam control, if our economy is strong ( under control of Youn,is not a good idea.) Hun Sen try to make Cambodia to become vietnamization day by day.
Lost of Bâton, Fr
The factory offers a better economic equilibrium vis-a-vis Vietnam. It offers job opportunity to Cambodians. What worries me is that the factory might just employ all the the Vietnamese immigrants, most of them are illegal, as its workforce.
It factory also reduce Cambodia's needs and dependence on Vietnamese and Thai fertilizers.
Build the biggest fertilizer factory to fertiliz his own body or what?
