In a landmark meeting between Cambodian Prime Minister, Samdech Hun Sen, and his Guinea-Bissau counterpart a commitment was made to form an agricultural delegation to foster a comprehensive understanding of the soil conditions and farming practices in Guinea-Bissau’s agricultural sector. This understanding would serve as a guiding light for Cambodia’s assistance to this West African nation, marking the start of a fruitful collaboration between the two countries.
A Vision for Agricultural Cooperation
During the meeting, Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his vision for agricultural cooperation, indicating initiatives such as the establishment of irrigation canals and high-yield rice variety nurseries in Guinea-Bissau. This vision reflects Hun Sen’s commitment to advancing agricultural practices and bringing sustainable development to Guinea-Bissau’s agricultural sector. The proposed initiatives aim to enhance productivity and bolster food security in the region, laying a solid foundation for future growth and prosperity.
Agreements and Collaborative Efforts
To further strengthen bilateral relations, Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen proposed the signing of several agreements during the visit of Guinea-Bissau’s President, H.E Umaro Sissoco Embalo to Cambodia in the near future.

Seeds of Success: Cambodia’s Agricultural Cooperation with Other Nations
While forging new partnerships, Cambodia has also made significant strides in agricultural collaboration with other countries. Notably, the cooperation with Cuba has showcased promising results. Technical working groups, accompanied by investors in the rice sector, have been sent to Cuba to learn about the country’s legal framework and rice cultivation techniques. Moreover, studies on soil conditions have been conducted to gain a deeper understanding of how Cambodia can extend maximum support to Cuba. Building on this success, Cambodia is now exploring avenues for technical assistance and investment in the unmilled and milled rice sectors in other countries such as Timor-Leste.
