Factories reopen, but labour shortages loom

[geovalin]

Kampong Speu provincial authorities claim Covid-19 seems under control and factories in the province are reopening, but businesses are facing a labour shortage of more than 10,000 workers. Provincial Governor Vei Samnang, leading a working group to meet workers at the Mingfai factory in Samraong Tong district, raised the issue of a labour shortage on Friday evening on the occasion of the 136th anniversary of International Labour Day.

 

Samnang said the province is currently facing a shortage of more than 10,000 workers and can’t meet the demand for staff by factories, which have increased since Cambodia reigned in Covid-19.

 

He added that the factories and other enterprises in the province are now booming through the mobilisation of the Kampong Speu provincial administration. There are more foreign businessmen and more investment is flowing into the province because of its potential and many advantages.
