Minister Asks Korean Firm to Train Cambodia on Animal Vaccine Production

Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has asked a South Korean firm, OrientCam Co., Ltd. to train Cambodian technical team at the General Directorate of Animal Health and Production on animal diseases vaccine production.

The minister H.E. Veng Sakhon made the request during a meeting with Dr. Jae-Jin Chang, CEO of OrientCam here in Phnom Penh this week.

According to Dr. Jae-Jin Chang, Chairman of OrientCam Co., Ltd., his firm is interested in cooperating with the ministry on animal production and health skill training for agriculture students and those involved in animal husbandry and production.

There is a well-known agriculture university in Korea that helps train and disseminate new techniques related to animal production and health to livestock farmers and professional officials, underlined Dr. Jae-Jin.

H.E. Veng Sakhon welcomed the firm’s intention, stressing that there is still limited technique, practice and research works in Cambodia’s animal production.

The cooperation will be a good opportunity for Cambodian officials, students and farmers to develop their capacity contributing to Cambodia’s animal production and health development.

Agriculture human resources development will help accelerate Cambodia’s economic growth through increasing animal production and export and processing structure establishment in line with the government’s vision and policy, he added.
