Long Grain Co. Ltd, a specialty rice production and distribution enterprise, has unveiled its state-of-the-art milling facility in the Kampong Speu Province of Cambodia. The company expects the facility to significantly increase its rice production from 33,000 tons per year to 200,000 tons by 2025. This expansion will also allow for the production of rice milk, rice cakes, grain spirit, and rice oil.
With a strategic location and innovative technology, Long Grain ensures that each grain of rice represents top quality. The company also works closely with local growers to promote water preservation, biodiversity enhancement, and soil health improvement, cementing its position as a leader in the industry.
Cambodia has emerged as a major player in the rice industry, with rice accounting for over 70% of its agricultural cropped areas. The country’s rice market has experienced significant growth in the past two decades, with surplus production being exported to Europe and other international markets. Recognizing this potential, the Government of Cambodia has implemented policy reforms to further boost rice production and establish Cambodian rice as a prominent global player. Long Grain, with its advanced facility and operational capabilities, is well-placed to capitalize on this growth and deliver unparalleled value to its customers and stakeholders.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, global rice production is expected to reach 520.9 million tons in 2023/24, with a market value of $271.04 billion by 2028. Long Grain is positioned to be a key player in this growing market, supported by the Government of Cambodia’s policies promoting paddy production and rice exports.
CEO Sanjay Dvir expresses gratitude to the Cambodian government and reiterates the company’s commitment to enhancing its market presence and sustaining growth in the years to come.
Long Grain Cambodia operates a fully automated processing plant in Kampong Spue Province, ensuring the quality of rice from the fields to the mill. The company’s products, including Jasmine, Senkro Orub rice, and more, are ISO 9000 certified, and its facility adheres to the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), enabling immediate export to the Americas. Long Grain exports rice to various countries, including the EU, China, ASEAN nations, the Middle East, and Africa.
Long Grain’s mission is to have a positive impact on the community, customers, and the planet. The company is dedicated to transparency and sustainability in the industry. It also actively supports the local farming community by working with and employing local individuals.
