Cambodia holds Expo to promote local products

Xinhua, May 1, 2015 Adjust font size:

The 5th edition of One Village One Product Expo kicked off here on Friday afternoon, aiming to promote local products to consumers and tourists, officials said.

More than 80 producers from 13 cities and provinces have their products, including jewelry, cosmetics, traditional silk, stone and wooden sculptures, food, and fruit, displayed at the three-day event, said Chea Samnang, secretary general of the One Village One Product National Committee.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the expo, Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly said the event aimed to promote the consumption of local products and to seek markets for producers and farmers.

"This is a good opportunity for producers and farmers to promote their products to local consumers and foreign tourists," he said at the event, which was held at a public park in the south of the Royal Palace.

He said the event would also encourage producers and farmers to increase their production and to focus on quality so as to compete with imported goods. Endi
