Brief History

It all started with a simple dream of H.E. Dr. Oknha Mong Reththy to boost the lowered morale of the Khmer people brought about by the country's civil war. He dreams not only for his own but for most of the Khmer people who have lost hope for the future. From this thougth, Oknha Mong pave the way to find ways and means to be of help to his fellow countrymen by giving them means of living through agriculture, and that gave birth to Mong Reththy Investment Cambodia Oil Palm Co., Ltd. (MRICOP). He worked hand in hand with the Government and was granted a parcel of land for concession which he used for the plantation of Palm Trees. H.E. Dr. Oknha Mong Reththy broaden the horizon of the business by opening the doors of MRICOP to international investors.

 

MRICOP is a legal entity established under the applicable laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, which is a joint venture company between MRT (Cambodia) and TCC (Thailand). Since then the MRICOP has been establishing an oil palm plantation on 11,000 hectares of land which is located in Choeung Kor commune, Prey Nop district, Preah Sihanouk province. The above-said land is concession granted by the Royal Government of Cambodia. This concession Land Contract was made between Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery and MRICOP on January 9, 1996. To date, we have planted a total of 7,051.00 ha of oil palms and operate a 30 t/hr CPO mill.
