Saing Koma FB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang Saing Koma, secretary of state for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said volunteer students have been dispatched to rural areas to collaborate with local farmers in enhancing the quality of paddy rice varieties. The initiative aims to improve the competitiveness of the sector in Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koma revealed that the ministry initially planned to deploy 200 volunteers but has so far sent 180, with more to be recruited. They will help cultivators build a robust seed system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to generate pure, high-quality varieties that will boost the sector\u2019s competitiveness,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koma added that the students are also responsible for connecting rice producers using pure seeds with rice millers for contract farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis system ensures a supply chain that benefits both parties, particularly those producing high-quality exports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koma explained that the focus is on producing soft fragrant rice varieties, specifically Phkar Romduol and Sen Kra\u2019op 01.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Kingdom\u2019s rice sector stands to gain significantly from these two high-quality milled rice types,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sustain this advantage, Koma emphasised the need to ensure a consistent supply of pure seeds for production and export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMillers must also have sufficient capital to purchase and process these varieties, especially Phka Romduol, which is harvested once a year in November,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agriculture minister Dith Tina addressed students at the Royal University of Agriculture earlier this year, urging them to understand the intricacies of seed generation. Tina confirmed that the programme would benefit not only their future career prospects but also enhance local agricultural practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minister said that the volunteers would contribute to more efficient and effective techniques in local communities, thereby paving the way for them to become future civil servants, company employees or entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agriculture ministry\u2019s Yang Saing Koma meets farmers in Battambang province\u2019s Banan district.
