PHNOM PENH: Prepare for a taste of Aussie opportunity! Cambodian agribusinesses and food producers are gearing up for the “Agribusiness and Trade Mission to Australia”, taking place from March 2nd to 5th, 2024 in Melbourne.

This exclusive event, spearheaded by the Innovation and Development Investors Association (IDI), ID Capital Plc. (IDC), and Khmer Enterprise (KE), promises to unlock new horizons for Cambodian ventures Down Under.

This mission provides a golden platform for Cambodian businesses to shine a spotlight on their finest agriculture and food products. Think vibrant tropical fruits, succulent seafood, and innovative rice varieties – all set to tantalize the taste buds and business savvy of potential Australian buyers and partners.

Beyond showcasing their wares, participants will have the chance to forge valuable connections with diverse industry players across the Australian landscape. From retail giants to innovative processing companies, e-commerce platforms, and logistics providers, the networking opportunities are vast and promising.

This mission isn't just about immediate deals; it's about planting seeds for future growth. Participants will gain expert insights into exploring exciting investment opportunities, particularly in the burgeoning green and agri-tech sectors of the Australian market.

The organizers are committed to fostering inclusive business practices. Participants will learn how to integrate Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GIDSI), and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into their operations, ensuring sustainable and responsible growth.

This mission is tailor-made for a diverse range of agribusinesses:

• Commercial farms and agriculture cooperatives
• Agri-SMEs and processors, including traders and logistics providers
• Horticulture, aquaculture, rice, and livestock businesses
• Agri-tech companies: machinery, green-tech, digital services, and agri-tourism providers
• Food and beverage manufacturers, distributors, and service providers, including FMCG companies

This Australian mission follows the footsteps of the hugely successful US Business Delegation led by IDI and IDC in November 2023. That trip generated significant interest and connections for Cambodian businesses, proving the power of these missions to fuel international expansion.
