The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) on Thursday met with the Ministry of Commerce to discuss policies for strengthening the country’s ailing rice industry, and unveiled a plan to develop a price-support mechanism to guarantee Cambodia’s rice export price, officials said. The talks come a week after the CRF announced the formation of a new task force to manage the impact of cheap foreign rice imports and under-funded millers on Cambodia’s rice industry, in response to pressure from its members.
