Cambodia running out of time to be included in rice deal

Friday May 18 2012

CAMBODIA'S inclusion in rice deliveries to the Philippines looks in peril as a government-to-government deal has still not been signed off.

The Philippines Department of Agriculture has said that authorities may have to allot the 120,000 tonnes rice import order to Thailand and Vietnam if an agreement with Cambodia for supply of 100,000 tons of rice annually is not signed soon.
