SPC Group’s Strategic Move into Cambodia’s Agro-Industry: A New Chapter in Global Food Export

Australia’s SPC Group has announced its intention to invest in Cambodia’s food and fruit processing industry. This decision was revealed during a meeting between Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Manet and Mr. Neil Brimacombe, President of SPC Group, on the sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit held in Melbourne, Australia, on 5 March 2024.

SPC Group, a leading agro-industry player with a global presence, including operations in several ASEAN countries, specialises in the production and processing of food and fruits. The company’s interest in Cambodia is part of its strategy to expand its footprint in Asia and beyond, leveraging the country’s agricultural potential to supply processed food products to international markets.

Prime Minister Hun Manet, has expressed strong support for SPC Group’s investment plans. The government’s agricultural policy focuses on modernising the sector through the adoption of advanced technology, supporting farmers, and establishing modern farmers’ associations. These initiatives aim to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural products, making them competitive in global markets.

Furthermore, the Cambodian government offers attractive incentives to investors in the agricultural sector, including tax exemptions on agricultural land, import taxes on agricultural materials, and taxes on agricultural products. These policies, coupled with investments in infrastructure and irrigation systems, are designed to reduce production costs and enhance the competitiveness of Cambodian agricultural products.

The meeting between Prime Minister Hun Manet and Mr. Brimacombe marks a promising start to what could be a fruitful collaboration between Cambodia and SPC Group. The investment by SPC Group in Cambodia’s food and fruit processing industry is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the country, including job creation, technology transfer, and increased exports.

Samdech Thipadei has extended an invitation to international firms to consider Cambodia as a potential destination for their investments, emphasising the opportunity to work alongside the nation’s ministries and institutions to uncover investment prospects within the kingdom.
