AKP Phnom Penh, February 23, 2012 –The French Development Agency (AFD) and the Royal Government of Cambodia yesterday entered into a EUR3.5-million (about US$4.55 million) partnership agreement to support the trade of Cambodian rice, a press release from the Embassy of France said.

Christian Connan and Director of AFD in Cambodia, Mr. André Pouilles-Duplaix.
“This project gives concrete expression to the French Prime Minister’s commitment, announced during his official visit to Cambodia on July 1st and 2nd, 2011. It symbolizes France’s will to contributing to the economic development of the country by supporting a key sector of Cambodia’s agriculture: the rice industry,” the French ambassador said.
Financed by AFD, the project is aimed at maximizing the incomes of the producers and national economic players involved in the rice sector. It will contribute to the national strategy for the development of rice export and the achievement of one of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s top priorities, said the press release.

The project will contribute to the development of the Cambodian rice through the organization of the national rice industry and the capacity-building of the relevant actors; setting up of quality standards in order to promote the Cambodian rice on the international market; the promotion of contract farming; and the capacity building of the Rural Development Bank to allow it to fully play its role as a financial intermediary and answer to the financial needs of the rice sector.

អង្គការលើដែលជាក្រុមឃាដករជីវិតខ្មែរប្រមាណបី
លាននាក់បានបន្សល់ទុកនៅផ្លែផ្កាគឺរាជនិងរដ្ឋអំណាចខ្មែរសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ។
អាស្រ៍យហេតុដូច្នេះហើយទើបបានជាសាលាក្តី
ខ្មែរក្រហមត្រូវបានពួកវារំខានយកជើងរាទឹក
គ្រប់ពេលដើម្បីលាក់ការពិតលាក់ឈ្មោះ លាក់មុខមាត់ក្រុមពួកវាដែលជាឃាដករ ប្រឆាំងមនុស្សជាតិ។
ដើម្បីសង្រ្គោះជាតិខ្មែរឲ្យរុងរឿងមានយុត្តិធម៌បានសុខសន្តិភាពពិតប្រាកដ គឺត្រូវតែមានអគ្គមគ្គុទេសខ្មែរថ្មីដែលដុះចេញអំពីខ្មែររងគ្រោះគឺផ្ទុយអំពីរាជ
និងរដ្ឋអំណាចសព្វថ្ងៃដែលដុះចេញអំពីអង្គការ
លើខ្មែរក្រហម។
