Nippon Koei seeks investment in Cambodia's silk production
Dec '19
The Khmer Silk Center, an institution dedicated to research in the silk industry and to revitalising the weaving sector, was launched in June this year inside the Royal University of Phnom Penh.
The facility was initiated by RUPP with contributions from the Japanese government and United Nations Development Program, according to a newspaper report.
The university is now working with three silk community leaders in Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, and Mondulkiri whose total production area amounts to 21 hectares. It aims to raise the production area to 200 hectares by the end of this year as more farmers are encouraged to participate in the industry.
Raw silk in Cambodia is mostly imported from Vietnam and China.
