Reththy, Agriculture Ministry continue to squabble
The Ministry of Agriculture has rejected a request from private-sector rubber firms – led by agricultural tycoon Mong Reththy – for a meeting to discuss the floundering fortunes of the nation’s rubber sector, claiming the ministry was busy and was already addressing the issue. The rejection was in response to a request by Reththy, who owns a rubber land concession, for a short-term suspension on export taxes on rubber and tax on profit for plantation owners.
