These varieties have been developed and researched by the Cambodia Rice Federation in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and partner organisations The Cambodian Rice Federation launched two new varieties of rice – SKO fragrant rice and DSMK glutinous rice, which will compete with similar fragrant rice varieties from other countries on the international market. The long and slim kernels SKO rice stands for Sen Kro Oub and DSMK stands for Damneob Sbai Monkul. These varieties are also expected to improve the income of Cambodian farmers. They have been developed and researched by the Cambodia Rice Federation in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, agricultural cooperatives and partner organisations. The Sen Kro Oub rice varieties play an important role in exports and they are non-seasonal, which allows farmers to grow up to three times a year, according to CRF. Speaking at the launch ceremony, Minister of Commerce Pan Sorasak said the two varieties are good for Cambodia to show the development of the rice sector in the country and prepare for competition in the international market. “These SKO rice varieties are a new choice for farmers and exporters to compete with other countries’ fragrant rice in the international market,” Sorasak said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501100136/new-rice-varieties-launched-for-international-market/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
