Following their official visit to the archipelagic nation from February 1–3 with a delegation from the Cambodia Rice Federation, officials from the Ministry of Commerce said they are collaborating with their counterparts in the Philippines to finalize a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on rice trade (CRF).
The purpose of the visit, according to a government statement, was to increase rice exports. The Cambodian delegation visited the Philippines and spoke with many stakeholders, including Emmie Liza Perez-Chiong, president of the government-run Philippine International Trading Corporation, and Philippine Minister of Commerce Alfredo Pascual.
They also spoke with a number of rice importers from the Philippines who were interested in importing premium rice from Cambodia about pricing and import procedures.
