Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 8 - The owner of a famous rice exporter claimed that if Cambodia does not want to be second to Vietnam, farmers should be careful about using pesticides and should not use excessive chemicals on crops.

Vietnam's agricultural products are harmful since they used too much chemical substances; therefore, most Vietnamese do not eat their local fruit, vegetables and crops.

Within the first 11 months of this year, Vietnam spent up to $1.4 billion to buy fruit and vegetables from Thailand and China for consumption, according to an article written by Xinhua News Agency on Dec. 1, 2017.
