CRF to launch ‘Malys Angkor’ brand of fragrant rice exports
Thu, 31 December 2020
The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) will launch the “Malys Angkor” brand in mid-2021 and require all rice millers and exporters to attach its label to their products bound for China and the EU, its president Song Saran said on December 30.
He said the Kingdom exported around 700,000 tonnes of milled rice in 2020, 80 per cent of which was the in-vogue fragrant rice.
The CRF also plans to export the Sen Kra’op 01 rice cultivar for the first time, he said.
Sen Kra’op 01 is a high-quality and delectable variant of rice that was developed in 2018 by the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) in collaboration with the Australian government through the Cambodia-Australia Agricultural Value Chain programme (CAVAC).
