South Korean investors are exploring additional investment opportunities in Cambodia, particularly in the agricultural sector with a focus on cashew production, according to Mr. Park Joo Bong, President of the Incheon Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Korea.

During the meeting, Mr. Park highlighted Cambodia’s favourable investment climate, describing the country as safe and increasingly attractive to South Korean investors.
