Paper mill lifts Kampot’s hopes
Thu, 4 March 2021
Reports of government approval for what could become the Kingdom’s first pulp and paper mill in Kampot province’s Teuk Chhou district have galvanised investment hopes and instilled a renewed sense of opportunity in the southwestern coastal province.
Last month, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) agreed to issue a final registration certificate for Shunying Pulp And Paper Co Ltd’s $504 million factory in Prek Tnaot commune’s Changhon village, noting that the plant would provide jobs for 2,261 locals.
Kampot provincial governor Cheav Tay told The Post on March 4 that new investment continues to pour into Kampot, even as the world remains beleaguered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
