Malaysia is all set to share its expertise with the Cambodian government to develop the rubber plantation sector and the padi processing in that country, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister commented that as a country with fertile land and extensive padi plantation, the Cambodian government hoped to seek Malaysia’s expertise in these two fields and the request had been made by Cambodia’s Prime Minister, Hun Sen.

‘There is strong interest here for us to participate in the rubber plantation as they have suitable agricultural areas with fertile land for us to develop. Cambodia too has extensive padi land with production exceeding five million tons annually, but they don’t have the capacity to process them because of the lack of rice mills,’ said Muhyiddin at the media conference on the first day of his three days official visit to Cambodia. The conference was held at the hotel.

He informed that in padi processing Padiberas Nasional Berhad (Bernas) had also initiated specific measures to hold discussions with relevant parties to explore the market and to also set up rice processing mills in that country. ‘I notice that the potentials for trade, investment and cooperation in various fields in Cambodia is very encouraging, and what is even more encouraging, Prime Minister Hun Sen himself is very keen to establish cooperation with us,’ he said. ‘In terms of education, Prime Minister Hun Sen wants us to train more (Cambodian students) besides giving accreditation and credit transfers for certain courses carried out in their universities here,’ he further added.
