Most of Vietnamese traders always came into Cambodia to buy cashew nuts, bordering Vietnam, in Kampong Cham’s Memot district. Vietnam businessmen crossed to Cambodia on the morning and then went back at the evening by exporting cash crops into Vietnam. Even my parents, they sold fresh cashews to them, but small amounts. What is important is that Cambodian government should seek market for Cambodian farmers and guarantees the price for them as well.
Two Vietnamese vendors came to Cambodia to buy cashew nut in Memot district’s village bordering to Vietnam.

Hey guy the customs don’t check their passport or any document?
All Cambodian people or Vietnamese people have not been asked for passport and anything because they are living bordering the both countries.
Cashew nut is also most valued commodity. We should do valued added/ ready to consume product instead selling raw to our neigbour.
Should have passport or one day pass similar to Poi Pet [to crss border]
Normally there is cross-border letter for short periods issued for the both people crossing border but i observe that most of people who live near the border never hold this letter. My cousin always crossed border to Vietnam by no needing to ask for letter, he just pay some small money to border customs, both Vietnamese and Cambodian customs. That is ok.
[...] is not only planted in Kampong Cham as Vutha mentioned in his blog, it is also planted in other provinces of the country like in Kampong Thom. [...]
Vutha;
I don’t think it is appropriate to cross border without any letter such as your cousin case.
Hope you understand what I am trying to say – “At the wrong place at the wrong time”, and the consequence will be awkwardly.
Have notice that cashew and coffee have been commercial planted in many parts of the country- such as Ratanakiri, Kampongcham, Kampongthom, but we don’t have a proper export outlet[s] except seel to our neighbours.
The coffee trees had been cut down in the last 4 or 5 years ago, it was because of no market for it. and its price was very cheap. My parents planted coffee tree as well but they cut them down for 5 years by planting pepper vines instead. Now, the price of peppers is reasonable good for farmers in Memot district. People are further planting pepper vines and rubber trees.
In order to improve the people’s livelihood and create jobs, the government have to find international market for agro-industry and agriculture sector. These sectors will improve the people’s living standard and the poverty will go down.
Mr.Angkor138, I am not against you and i agree with what u said. I just told u irregular case that i saw. they can cross border without permit because the border officials pocket money from people crossing the border.
One again, thanks for your sharing idea and thoughts.
Hey Vutha, how much per Kg that you can sell the Cashew nut for?…… the coffee bean…. how much was it per Kg when you said it is very cheap at about 5 years ago…. your parent seem very experiencing in this farming business. hope to see them one day to seek their advice….
Hey kane, when i visited my parents during Khmer New year, they sold cashew nut 2000 riel per Kilogram. My parents cut down all coffee tree in last 5 years and then they planted pepper instead, at that time, it was every cheap (forget its price). But now i don’t know its price yet. All people in Memot districts cut all coffee trees for years. it was because of low price.
At the present time, they plant peppers, rubber trees, cassava, durain and so on.
My parents have no more experience but they are farmer for long time. Hope see you one day.
Thanks for the info, surely will need your help if I want to run a farm one day. it’s tough but I like it. ummm R2000 is really cheap but I guess fresh cashew would have weight heavy right? but still cheap….I’m interesting in Coffee plantation , so sad no market in Cambodia…… hope this will change in the near future
i have no experience in farming. I now have a tree plantation but i do not keep it by myself, i hire workers to do it for me.
Good leverage, I might have to do the same if I decide to do it in the future.
Hi, I am interested in your parent cashew nut farm and I’m able to help them to process their raw cashew nut. I would like to visit them and discuss with them on the subject.
@ KH lee, thanks for your interesting in it, but i just would like to let you know that my parents just cut down all cashew tree and will plant pepper instead. Most of farmers in my villages cut down all cashew tree by planting pepper vine and rubber tree instead in the last few years because it has good market.
