"Rubber Plantation Boom in Cambodia driven by Government Initiatives!"

 

"Balancing Investment Opportunities & Challenges in a Sluggish Global Economy"

 

High inventory and weakening demand are putting pressure on global rubber price. However, the cyclical commodity continues to attract foreign investment as established rubber growing countries like Thailand and Malaysia makes way for emerging Cambodia and Myanmar. Scarcity of land in their own country and other governments’ open agriculture policies to provide unused land for the development of the agro-industry has encouraged foreign investments in rubber plantations.

 

"Sri Lanka-based Kotagala Plantation, a unit of Lankem Ceylon Plc, has said it will set up a 15,000 hectare rubber plantation in Cambodia."

- Investvine, Aug 2013

 

"Rubber is the next project on the ambitious joint-venture agenda of global agricultural products giant Olam and the Gabonese state with a $183 million (€139m) investment in a 28,000-hectare rubber plantation and factory near Bitam in northern Gabon."
