Keynote address by His Excellency, Ly Phalla

Aptly themed "Increasing Yield in Rubber Plantations & Global Investment Opportunities" the conference spotlights on Cambodia, specifically on its Vast Land Availability & Promotion of Concession Land - set out to attract investors, and making Cambodia the Next Frontier for rubber investments.

Global natural rubber demand could rise to 10.3 million tonnes in 2010 from 9.4million tonnes a year ago... The market is going to be very tight for three to fouryears and demand is rising, but natural rubber production will not rise at the samespeed because of older plantations."

The rubber business is set to reach new heights as demand increases and price recuperates. Playing catch up with other lucrative commodities like palm oil - agribusiness companies and plantation owners are seeking to diversify their business by giving rubber a new lease of life. Natural rubber producing countries are encouraging investments and new plantations as demand continues to grow.

Coupled with these opportunities are challenges of transforming the rubber small holdings into technology driven entities. Producing higher yield and better quality variety is essential for rubber farmers to remain competitive in a bullish environment.
