Kampong Chhnang: Dr. Kao Thach, the Royal Government Delegate in Charge of the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB) and President of the Techo Farmers Network Association, said that borrowing money from financial institutions and banks to invest in agriculture is not wrong, but if farmers know how to manage risks and have a clear production plan, farming will make our farmers more prosperous and free from debt traps.
This was mentioned during the occasion when the doctor met and greeted farmers in Kampong Tralach District, Kampong Chhnang Province on the afternoon of July 23, 2026, which was attended by Mr. Chhin Sengnuon, Deputy Governor of Kampong Chhnang Province, a high representative, Mr. Sun Sovannarith, Governor of Kampong Chhnang Provincial Government, Mr. Say Bunteng, Deputy Governor of Kampong Tralach District, representing the district governor, as well as leaders, local authorities, and approximately 300 farmers.
Dr. Kao Thach said that the government leaders want to see farmers living a prosperous life with better income and free from debt through efficient farming, not unplanned borrowing.
Furthermore, the doctor reminded farmers that the agricultural sector faces many factors, especially climate change, drought, floods, diseases and pests, which can cause losses if proper techniques are not applied.
The delegation said that the purpose of the visit was to understand the situation of agricultural production in the local area and to promote the role of the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB) and the Techo Farmers Network Association in supporting and promoting the development of the agricultural sector, especially ARDB’s support for cultivation, animal husbandry, aquaculture, agricultural product processing, and agro-industrial businesses.
In addition, the doctor told farmers that farming in the present era can no longer rely on old experiences or habits alone, but must be based on knowledge, technology, cost control, and clear production plans in line with market needs.
Meanwhile, as a solution Citizens can also deposit savings at ARDB safely and reliably because today the bank also has a fast digital service (Mobile App) with many functions to provide convenience in financial transactions and business payments.
For the Techo Farmers Network Association, it also has an important role, helping to facilitate the market, promote new agricultural technologies And connect farmers with markets to promote production in line with actual needs. Therefore, farmers should change their mindset in farming by focusing on controlling production costs, recording all costs and yields, selecting quality varieties, and using fertilizers and pesticides according to techniques to increase yields and profits.
