Cambodia has joined the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries in the hope of further developing the nation's rubber industry,a government official said yesterday.
Ly Phalla, director-general of Cambodia's directorate of rubber, said the ascension to the inter-governmental organisation would bring its burgeoning industry new technology and help with production and marketing.
The Cambodian government had privatised some 41,600 hectares (102,800 acres) of state-owned rubber plantations in recent years, Ly Phalla said.
Cambodia is the 10th country to join the rubber association, which includes China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
