Cambodia's 1st Chinese feed mill was formally inaugurated on Sunday, bringing the number of feed mills operating in Cambodia to five, .

"The factory is a new achievement of good cooperation between the governments and the peoples of Cambodia and China," said Cambodian Minister of Agriculture, Chan Sarun (pictured) at the inauguration for of the Sichuan New Hope Agribusiness (Cambodia), located in the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone, approximately 18 kms west of the capital Phnom Penh.

"The mill is very important to boost the development of the country's animal feeding industry," Sarun added.

The minister of agriculture said that at the moment the demand for animal feed is roughly 700,000 tonnes annually, but Cambodia's current 4 feed mills are only capable of producing 170,000 tonnes per year, so the balance of feed is required to be imported.
