Cambodian Rice: The Golden Grain of Life
Rice is the heart of Cambodia’s culture, cuisine, and economy. Known for its fragrant and high-quality varieties, such as Phka Malis (Jasmine Rice), Cambodian rice is cultivated in the fertile plains of the Mekong River Basin.
Cambodia’s rice farming traditions date back over 2,000 years, with techniques passed down through generations. The country’s rice is celebrated for its organic farming practices and has won the World’s Best Rice Award multiple times, including in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2024.
Rice is not just a staple food but also a symbol of prosperity and life in Cambodian culture. It is central to festivals, rituals, and daily meals, reflecting the deep connection between the people and their land.
