Phnom Penh, April 03, 2025 --Contract farming in the agricultural sector connects producers to markets, building trust between farmers and processors, which should boost domestic cashew processing before export.Khim Finan, Undersecretary of Agriculture, Forestry, Game, and Fisheries, recently said that Cambodia has the potential to generate at least an additional $1 billion from cashew production by increasing processing before export.This will inject significant revenue into the national economy, he emphasized, noting that the country currently exports about 90% of its raw cashew nuts.The clarity of modern agricultural cooperatives will enable contract farming and processing, ensuring better value retention for local agricultural products.

Kor Chuk ceremony is a significant cultural traditional marking the transition from childhood to adulthood, observed by the Khmer people since ancient times.While this ancient practice has seen a decline in observance among modern families, it continues to thrive in certain regions, particularly in Angkor and some provinces, where communities strive to uphold their cultural heritage.For instance, on April 2, a family from Prasat village in Puok district, Siem Reap province brought their son to Angkor Wat for the Kor Chuk ceremony, emphasising the importance of familial ties and cultural heritage.Ms. Phleang Phat, a 64-year-old grandmother, shared her experience of bringing her 9-year-old grandson to Angkor Wat for this special occasion. She highlighted that this practice has been passed down through four generations in her family, underscoring the deep-rooted nature of this tradition. For her, returning to Angkor Wat for the Kor Chuk ceremony is not just a ritual; it symbolises a connection to her ancestors and a hope for continued happiness and prosperity for her family.According to the APSARA National Authority, this ceremony symbolises pivotal moments in an individual's life, emphasising the shift from one stage to another, particularly from childhood to adulthood and the accompanying responsibilities.Historically, the Kor Chuk ceremony was performed for boys and girls who had not yet reached puberty, signifying their entrance into adulthood. Often referred to as a coming-of-age ceremony, it serves to formally integrate children into their families and society according to traditional customs.The traditional ceremony also delineates roles for boys and girls; boys are encouraged to pursue education and knowledge, while girls are taught family management skills.

Kampong Cham, April 02, 2025 —Deputy Prime Minister H.E. Aphi Santepundit Sar Sokha, Minister of Interior, has underscored the pivotal role of peace in driving Cambodia's socio-economic development, stating that sustained peace is indispensable for achieving the nation's ambitious goals. Speaking at the inauguration of a new police station building in Kampong Cham province on April 2, he asserted that without peace, Cambodia's aspirations to become an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income nation by 2050 would be unattainable."Peace is the foundation of national socio-economic development," H.E. Sar Sokha declared during the ceremony at the Kampong Cham Provincial Police Commissariat. "Without peace, there is no opportunity for work, development, or the realisation of our national development plans."The event drew a significant gathering of senior government officials, including secretaries and undersecretaries of state, provincial leaders from Kampong Cham, Thbong Khmum, Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, and Kampong Chhnang, along with provincial police commissioners and deputy commissioners from neighbouring provinces.H.E. Sar Sokha reiterated the necessity for authorities at all levels to remain vigilant in safeguarding security, public order, and the achievements secured under the Royal Government’s leadership. He urged the Kampong Cham Provincial Police Commissariat to intensify its efforts in implementing orders, guidelines, and legal frameworks to maintain peace, political stability, and territorial integrity, aligning with the Royal Government's policies.He emphasised the importance of governance rooted in wisdom, ethics, and effectiveness, under the leadership of Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet. Furthermore, he called for the enhanced implementation of the Safe Village-Commune Policy, viewing it as a cornerstone for maintaining public security and order.The Deputy Prime Minister outlined specific areas requiring heightened attention, including the prevention of juvenile delinquency, a crackdown on all forms of gambling, increased awareness of drug trafficking, and strict enforcement of traffic laws. He also stressed the importance of emergency preparedness, particularly with the approaching Khmer New Year celebrations."We must ensure public safety and facilitate smooth traffic flow so that people can enjoy the traditional Khmer New Year festivities in a joyful and peaceful environment under the stable and secure leadership of Prime Minister Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet," H.E. Sar Sokha concluded, urging all relevant authorities to prioritise these measures.

Phnom Penh, April 01, 2025 --A wave of national pride swept through Cambodia as the World Boxing Council (WBC) Kun Khmer championship belt arrived, marking a significant milestone for the nation's traditional martial art. Oknha Srey Chanthorn, President of the Kun Khmer International Fight (KKIF) and Vice President of the Kun Khmer International Federation, spearheaded the effort to bring the prestigious belt to Cambodia.The arrival was celebrated with a grand procession, as the belt was transported from Phnom Penh International Airport through the city's main boulevards, culminating at the KKIF club in Khan Chroy Changvar on the evening of Mar. 31.Oknha Srey Chanthorn emphasised the profound significance of this achievement, stating it fulfilled a long-held dream for both himself and the Cambodian people. "This represents a new milestone, realising our aspiration to see 'Kun Khmer' and the Cambodian flag on a world-class championship belt," he declared. The recognition comes after a year of intensive efforts to elevate Kun Khmer's global profile.He explained the rigorous process involved in securing WBC approval. "We engaged in extensive negotiations with the WBC leadership. They meticulously evaluated Kun Khmer activities both domestically and internationally, researched its ancient origins as depicted on temple walls, and experienced firsthand the warm reception in Cambodia. Only after this thorough assessment did the WBC officially approve the inclusion of ‘Kun Khmer’ on the belt."The journey to achieve this recognition involved international travel, particularly to the United States, to showcase Kun Khmer. The WBC, a renowned global boxing organisation, has now officially recognised Kun Khmer, a historic first. This recognition grants Cambodia the right to organise official championship matches under WBC regulations, further promoting the martial art on a global stage.To commemorate this landmark achievement, a grand WBC Kun Khmer Championship event is scheduled for April 14, 2025, in Preah Sihanouk province. The event will feature a highly anticipated title fight between top Cambodian fighters Chhoeung Lvey and Sok Thy, facing international opponents. A total of eight matches will showcase Cambodian fighters against foreign challengers, along with two global title fights. WBC executives will be present at the event, underscoring the importance of this moment for Cambodian martial arts.

5 Smartest Dog Breeds in the World

date_range 26-Aug-2024
visibility 4

Have you ever wondered how intelligent your dog is compared to other dog breeds? Or would you like to learn more about the world's smartest dog breeds? If so, you have come to the right place.We've identified the ten smartest dog breeds in the world and gone over some of their distinguishing characteristics for you here!1.Border CollieIf you want the most intelligent dog breed, the Border Collie is it. They are incredibly intelligent and active canines with a background in herding. However, keep in mind that, despite their intelligence, they have strong herding instincts and are not usually the best companions for little children or cats. But with a little consistency and instruction, you can teach a Border Collie almost anything!2.PoodleThe Poodle is another well-known intelligent dog breed, and what makes them unique is that they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Poodles are also regarded more hypoallergenic than other breeds and get along well with children and other dogs, so they can fit into almost any family. No surprise these dogs are so popular!3.German ShepherdIf you want a working dog, there's a reason why the German Shepherd is so popular. They're intelligent enough to learn almost any task you give them, and they're dependable enough to keep performing what you want month after month and day after day. They are also fantastic with youngsters, although you should exercise caution when around other dogs.4. Golden RetrieverIf you're seeking for the ideal family dog, the Golden Retriever may be your best option. They get along well with children and other pets, and they never seem to get enough attention from everyone in the household. They're also quite loyal and intelligent, so a little training and consistency may go a long way.5.Doberman PinscherThe Doberman Pinscher is one of the smartest large dog breeds on the globe, with some weighing nearly 100 pounds! They make excellent family dogs who enjoy impressing their people, however it is important to note that these enormous dogs are quite energetic.As a result, we don't recommend getting one unless you have plenty of room for them to run around and expend some energy.

The full Central Banker Report Cards 2024 grade list will appear in Global Finance’s October print and digital editions as well as online at GFMag.com.The Central Banker Report Cards, published annually by Global Finance since 1994, grade the central bank governors of nearly 100 key countries, territories and districts, as well as the European Union, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Central African States and the Central Bank of West African States.Grades are based on an “A+” to “F” scale for success in areas such as inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management.

Kor Chuk, a Traditional Ceremony Marking Transition from Childhood to Adulthood

Kor Chuk ceremony is a significant cultural traditional marking the transition from childhood to adulthood, observed by the Khmer people since ancient times.While this ancient practice has seen a decline in observance among modern families, it continues to thrive in certain regions, particularly in Angkor and some provinces, where communities strive to uphold their cultural heritage.For instance, on April 2, a family from Prasat village in Puok district, Siem Reap province brought their son to Angkor Wat for the Kor Chuk ceremony, emphasising the importance of familial ties and cultural heritage.Ms. Phleang Phat, a 64-year-old grandmother, shared her experience of bringing her 9-year-old grandson to Angkor Wat for this special occasion. She highlighted that this practice has been passed down through four generations in her family, underscoring the deep-rooted nature of this tradition. For her, returning to Angkor Wat for the Kor Chuk ceremony is not just a ritual; it symbolises a connection to her ancestors and a hope for continued happiness and prosperity for her family.According to the APSARA National Authority, this ceremony symbolises pivotal moments in an individual's life, emphasising the shift from one stage to another, particularly from childhood to adulthood and the accompanying responsibilities.Historically, the Kor Chuk ceremony was performed for boys and girls who had not yet reached puberty, signifying their entrance into adulthood. Often referred to as a coming-of-age ceremony, it serves to formally integrate children into their families and society according to traditional customs.The traditional ceremony also delineates roles for boys and girls; boys are encouraged to pursue education and knowledge, while girls are taught family management skills.
