PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- A world class Japanese Company, IDEMITSU, will build a bio-fuel factory in Cambodia in 2015, and will commence exploring bio-fuel in Cambodia for the first time in 2017, Mr. Heng Ratana, General Director of Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) told reporters yesterday.

He also said IDEMITSU was the second largest company in Japan, adding that the company would dispatch experts to study about the land and location to build the factory and feasibility for expenditure.

IDEMITSU has been cooperating with CMAC, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Ministry of Mines and Energy to plant cassava and to construct a factory in Battambang Province. In 2013, 103 Hectares have been tested with cassava plantation. This year the Company plans to expand to 1500 Hectares, and to 20000 Hectares at the final stage.   

He added “at the moment, the Company is undertaking pilot project to check and ensure soil quality since environmental sustainability is the Company’s concern.”

The Director General of CMAC also said “the Company will not own the land, and instead will make contracts with local people to grow cassava in order to supply the factory in the future.”

He added that “the Government under our Premier’s leadership had encouraged Companies to sign contracts and buy products from local people rather than giving concession to big companies which in turn create land disputes. IDEMITSU will work to avoid such disputes,”.

Ratana also said the Company wished to work closely with CMAC, which were undertaking de-mining cavities in Ta Sen commune, Battambong Province of which the area was largely laden with mines, and now the zone had become the biggest cassava plantation.

Currently, the Company has been also providing financial assistance to CMAC for community development there.
