Chinese Giant DANONG Partners with Four Firms to Cultivate Cambodia’s Agricultural Potential

DANONG Agricultural Development Group, a major Chinese company, has inked agreements with four strategic partners for substantial agricultural investments in Cambodia. The signing ceremony took place on 12 September 12023.

The esteemed collaborators joining forces with DANONG are the Cambodia Agriculture Cooperative Alliance (CACA), Agri Bank Construction Land, Panagri International Farm Co., Ltd., and Century Group Co., Ltd.

Mr Zhao Shuije, President of DANONG, explained that the initial phase of the project will establish a model area spanning over 10,000 hectares. This zone will encompass corn cultivation, grass, straw, and protein-rich crops, as well as beef cattle farming. Additionally, the project includes the construction of agricultural product processing facilities.
