Cambodia
• CP has invested in Cambodia since 1995.
• Its combined investment amounts to 3 billion
baht, largely spent on feed, livestock farms
and food-related production units such as
sausage plants and slaughterhouses.
New Silo Plant in Cambodia
• A new silo and drying plant for corn in Pailin
province, western Cambodia which is the
important for agricultural production.
• The investment is to ensure high-quality raw
material to serve its feed production for both
the domestic market and export.
• Ensure effective distribution in western
Cambodia
• Reduce logistics costs
Laos
• CP operates one feed mill in Vientiane with
production capacity of 10,000 tonnes per
month. The new plant in Champasak province
will have initial production capacity of 5,000
tonnes per month to serve consumption in
southern Laos. Having a plant there will reduce
the company's logistical cost by avoiding the
need to transport goods from Vientiane.

CP Laos

and livestock businesses.
• It has one feed mill in Vientiane with production
capacity of 10,000 tones per month.
• The new feed meal plant in Champasak province
will have production of 5,000 tones per month
• The plant is expected to reduce logistics cost by
eliminating the need for transport from Vientiane to
southern region.
• Laos’s policy ” to deliver its people from poverty
by 2020”
• Meanwhile, investment in Laos has reached
approximately THB1 billion (US$33.61
million) in the feed, farm and food
businesses.
• However, the food business is in the
beginning stage, with only Five Star grilled
chicken launched so far.
• establishment a new feed meal plant in
Champasak province, south-western Laos
to strengthen agri-industrial business
aheadof the Asean Economic Community
(AEC).
• CPF is continuing to invest in Laos and
Cambodia to take advantage of increasing
purchasing power of people there. The two
countries are fully supportive of the CP
subsidiaries. Political stability in both
countries has prompted economic growth to
ensure sustainable business development.
Future Plan
• mulling investing in an aquatic business in
Cambodia
• studying the possibility of launching
organic production both for livestock and
plants in the two countries to cater to
growing organic food consumption.
