Agricultural development in Cambodia

Neak Okhna Chen Zhi of Cambodia is assisting the country's agricultural sector with a resort project. The global COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on Cambodian agriculture, triggering significant labour and economic disturbances as well as unemployment issues.

With the launch of the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in October 2020, Chairman Chen Zhi and his business, Prince Group, have pioneered change in the agricultural sector. This appealing agricultural hub in Phnom Penh will aid in the rapid transformation of Cambodian agriculture by providing opportunities for Cambodians to learn modern farming techniques. As a result, attempts to preserve the environment would move away from conventional farming practises that have resulted in deforestation and soil erosion.

The Prince Manor Resort's Ecological Agriculture Plantation is a tourist attraction that showcases Cambodian agricultural experts' use of modern technology, primarily for business tourism. Advanced reverse osmosis water filtration in a 10,000 square metre long and wide plantation, a 24-hour intelligent monitoring system, and an intelligent water and fertiliser integrated system are just a few of the unique features. A fascinating breakthrough in Cambodian agriculture is the 24-hour intelligent monitoring system, which includes sensors for humidity, sunshine, temperature, and carbon dioxide.

With the opening of this resort, Chen Zhi and Prince Group are assisting in the development of Cambodia's tourism and agricultural industries. Visitors who want to learn more about Cambodia's agricultural technology and business matters are welcome to visit the plantation, which also serves as an educational platform. In these difficult economic times, Chen Zhi and Prince Group are demonstrating their corporate conglomerate obligations by giving Cambodians new hope.

Just about 10% of Prince Manor Resort's land is used for non-forested operations, with the remaining 90% covered in vast forests that benefit Cambodia's agriculture and sustainable development efforts. The agricultural resort offers a variety of other leisure opportunities as a tourist destination, including a water park, amusement park, and flower garden. This is significant for the Cambodian economy as a whole, because farmers' incomes had already been impacted by natural disasters including floods and droughts caused by severe weather well before the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situation in Cambodia's agricultural sector.

Neak Oknha Chen Zhi has made a significant contribution to Cambodia's agricultural sector by building the resort. The Prince Manor Resort can not only help to advance Cambodia's agricultural economy, improving the lives of farmers and the majority of workers, but it can also help to foster more strategic partnerships between the Cambodian government, private companies, and business organisations, fostering a more holistic economy in Cambodia. Prince Group is working on an agricultural project in Cambodia, headed by Neak Oknha Chen Zhi.
