Iran has voiced an interest in buying Cambodian agricultural products for domestic consumption and re-export, Cambodian ambassador to Thailand Ouk Sorphorn told The Post on December 3.
The remark comes after Sorphorn met Iranian ambassador to Thailand Seyed Reza Nobakhti that morning.
“The Iranian ambassador told me that Iran wants to buy milled rice, mango and cassava to supply the market of 84 million people.
“I’ve already assigned our trade attache here [in Thailand] to work closely with their trade officials and report to our Ministry [of Commerce].
“This’ll be great for expanding our agricultural product exports to other markets, in line with the government’s market diversification policy,” he said.
He said the trade teams of both embassies are discussing the products and volumes to be shipped and will report to their respective commerce ministries following the talks.
