Cambodia: Cambodia Asks East Timor to Import Rice, Sugar

Cambodia is seeking to export milled rice and sugar to East Timor, according to the Ministry of Commerce, with experts saying it will expand markets for the Kingdom?s agricultural products.
Minister of Commerce Pan Sorasak on Friday asked East Timor?s Ambassador to Cambodia Felicidade de Sousa Guterres to check the possibility of East Timor importing milled rice and sugar from Cambodia.
Mr. Sorasak made the proposal as East Timor is in high demand of the products, according to a post on the ministry?s Facebook page.
Ministry spokeswoman Soeung Sophary said it was just a proposal for East Timor to consider importing milled rice and sugar from Cambodia.
?We just proposed that East Timor import from us because we have seen that East Timor imports milled rice and sugar from Cambodia?s neighbors,? Ms. Sophary said. ?If they can import from us, it is good because we can expand the market for our products.?

She added that neither the amount to be imported nor a price had been reached.?Read More?
