The Crucial Role of the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge in Strengthening Cambodia’s Agri-Food Sector

Table of Contents

Cambodia’s agriculture sector is key to its economic growth, but achieving international standards for food safety remains a challenge. Thanks to the collaboration between Australia and the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC), supported by the CAPRED program, local businesses now have access to ISO 17025-accredited testing services. These labs will test for pesticide, antibiotic, and heavy metal residues, enhancing product safety and quality.

This initiative is transformative, reducing reliance on costly foreign services and improving the competitiveness of Cambodian products in both local and international markets. By establishing cutting-edge laboratories, IPC is not only bolstering food safety but also creating sustainable development opportunities through increased market access and export readiness.

Moreover, this collaboration significantly aids local businesses, especially women-owned enterprises, by equipping them with the tools to meet stringent international standards. IPC’s role in this development is pivotal, ensuring the Cambodian agri-food sector’s long-term resilience and competitiveness.
