Foreigners in Cambodia Allowed to Work Freely

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Frank, or anybody - do you know if local vegetable growers, and other primary producers, have benefited from the boom in Sihanoukville?
Or is fresh food still mostly imported from Thailand, Vietnam and Phnom Penh ??

As a betting man, unlike GM (lol), I put money on it having something to do with recent visits to China and Vietnam.

OIC - you mean spinach dogs.

In short - there is no capital inflow from this - is a merry go round that only supports people who make others lives a misery.

Take heart - it will not be difficult to replace this with something beneficial.

yeah yeah
but it got me thinking about local real vegie growers
has there been any benefit to them from supplying all the chinese restaurants, noodle bars and casino buffet tables?
is Sihanoukville ringed by horticultural holdings to supply them?
or is fresh produce mostly coming from outside?
I am just trying to get a picture of any beneficial flow-on effects from this gambling boom - apart from dodgy low level jobs and payoffs to the rich and powerful.

At least 30 percent of fresh food is imported.
Irrigation and labor are big constraints along with port transport and distribution infrastructure
