Banteay Meanchey: As rice crops were submerged by cross-border floods, middlemen took the opportunity to lower the price of Sen Kraoap rice in Kok Lang commune, Mongkol Borey district to 870,000 riels per ton on September 28, 2026, compared to 1,050,000 riels on September 21 and 22.
Despite farmers’ efforts to pump out water to maintain the quality of their rice, traders are still offering arbitrary prices, contrary to the provincial Department of Commerce’s standard price list, which sets Sen Krao rice at 1,050,000 riels and Sranger rice at 990,000 riels per ton.
The farmers have asked the authorities and specialized departments to take strict legal measures and issue urgent instructions to control market prices, prevent exports, and punish those who take advantage of their hardship.
