Research On Rice Export Trade Of Cambodia

The Kingdom of Cambodia, located south of Indochina in Southeast Asia, the Center and the South Plains in the East, North and West is surrounded by mountains, plateaus, and most of the area is covered by forests, territory of the Mekong, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater Lake-Tonle Sap (also known as Lake in Phnom Penh) is a typical agricultural country in Southeast Asia.Cambodia’s economic growth relies on four areas:agriculture; the second is light manufacturing (clothing/footwear); construction; four is tourism. Cambodia’s weak industrial base, the original industry mainly small processing and assembly industry, war for a long time, most of the equipment technological backwardness, lack of raw materials, spare parts, electricity shortages cannot be produced.Cambodia’s economy is dominated by agriculture, of which about 80% of Cambodian people depend on agriculture, especially rice cultivation to sustain life. Main agricultural products are rice, cassava, maize, rubber, pepper, tropical fruits and rice accounted for more than 80% of total arable land, occupies an important position in the economy of rubber, pepper, and annual output of the highest in the world. Cambodia’s land is rich in resources, climate, suitable for conventional agriculture. Paddy is the main crop of Cambodia, whose production accounts for 90% of Cambodia’s annual agricultural output, acreage accounted for more than 80% of total arable land.Many varieties of rice in Cambodia, including Somaly rice, jasmine rice, Pkar Khnei rice, and Neang Kun rice, Somaly rice and jasmine rice was included in the first rank of which, Pkar Khnei rice, Neang-Ming metres and metres are included in the second level.Cambodia’s rice agricultural production and exports shows the country’s economic development achievements, mainly to China’s export markets in Asia and Europe and the rice market, in order to produce a clear rice exports of Cambodia gains from trade. Especially with the 2010 China-ASEAN free trade area formally completed, covering nearly 2 billion people, trade over $ 5 trillion from developing countries make up the largest free trade area in the world, Cambodia’s rice industry and its exports will bring great opportunities for development. But at the same time that Cambodia’s current exporters of rice export policy and export business, and there are still many problems.For further expanded rice export scale, upgrade rice export trade proceeds rice of production, and processing, export all links, Cambodia Government has necessary for rice industry developed practical of support policy should reference Thailand related policy continues to strengthened on food of straight fill policy expanded on mechanization of allowance, improve on excellent varieties of subsidies lines, or through such as for Cambodia farmers provides quality fertilizer, and pesticide, production of way on farmers for indirect subsidies, Implementation of the preferential agricultural policies have important impact on reducing farmers’ production costs while enhancing enterprise and the enthusiasm of farmers to grow rice.For agricultural products manufacture and sales of community formation, Governments can increase the intensity of support and further increase sales promotion efforts in rice products, and strive to achieve basic self-sufficiency of rice mills in the production and sales; enabling the preparation of organic compounds according to crop insurance imposed by the Government to increase its efforts to promote and implement, maximize the reduction of farmers’economic loss due to damage by natural disasters. Cambodian Government promotes the use of integrated techniques to grow rice, reducing unnecessary costs and expenses, to achieve the purpose of improving productivity. Cambodia’s Government is now trying to develop agricultural mechanization production and promoting the wide application of agricultural technologies. These initiatives can continuously improve rice quality while improving labor productivity, increase the incomes of grain farmers and eventually achieve the goal of improving farmers’living standards.The purpose of this thesis is to find out the right way, as well as comply with Cambodia’s practical development strategies and policies, develop sustainable export markets, improve the competitiveness that promote trade exports of rice in Cambodia.
