Green Trade, a
state-owned, milled-rice exporter, had not been updated on a
government-to-government rice deal with the Philippines despite recent media
reports that claimed a deal was near.
Although a proposal for exports to the Southeast Asian neighbour had
been made, Thon Virak, director of Green Trade, said yesterday:
“So far, there is no progress on the deal. We got the proposal from
them a long time ago, but it’s been very quiet. I don’t know for sure when we
can reach the agreement.”
He added that the Philippines expressed interest in importing about
200,000 tonnes of milled rice last year. Indonesian media reports claimed the
two countries were close to signing a deal for 120,000 tonnes of milled rice.
In mid-March, rice exporter Mega Green Imex Cambodia reported it had received
50,000 tonnes in orders from the Philippines.
