EVENT DETAILS:

1. Rationale

Cambodian agriculture is diversifying beyond rice, cassava and other cash crops. We look ahead to see where the opportunities lie for domestic and international investors to take advantage of this exciting trend.

• How are some successful businesses approaching these opportunities?
• How do regional companies see the Cambodian agriculture sector? What growth path do they predict?
• What recent regulatory developments are most relevant for the agriculture sector?
• Where investment is most needed?
• How can you better prepare?

Objectives

This event offers companies a chance to network and learn more about new investment opportunities in Cambodian agriculture. The projected growth and diversification of Cambodia's agriculture sector presents exciting prospects, and we hope this event will help more businesses benefit.

This event also introduces the US government's upcoming Agricultural Trade Delegation February 6-7, which will offer interactive panels and B2B tailored meetings, with a view to growing markets and developing trade and investment ties between the United States and Cambodia.
