The delegation also observed the latest German machinery from Buhler and automated robots in action, highlighting the technological advancements at Primalis.
According to a press release issued by the company, Primalis boasts a drying capacity of up to 1,200 tons per day and a production capacity of 1,500 tons per day.
The discussions between the government and Primalis were described to have highlighted the importance of continuing to grow Cambodia’s Pkha Rumduol and Seng Kro Ob rice varieties, which have already gained popularity in overseas markets.

“Primalis is committed to continue supporting the Government in the development of Cambodian rice on the international stage and to further collaborate with the public sector to establish the recognition of Cambodian rice as a high quality brand, globally, over the years to come,” said Vith Sokchea, Export Sales Representative.
