Sar Kheng praised the creation of the new $5 million facility in Kampot’s Chompovorn district, which sits on five hectares, for supplying more tasty, fresh, hygienic food to the Cambodian market, creating jobs and aiding food security. “CP Cambodia is creating job opportunities and helping reduce migration, while the establishment of this food processing plant is responding to a shortage of food production in the Kingdom. CP’s presence in the Kingdom contributes to the supply of fresh meat, as well as hygienic and affordable food products. “May the company continue to support Cambodia and set up more food processing factories throughout the country and provide technical knowledge to other institutions and ministries, as well as the people,” said Sar Kheng.
