>Ministry
of Commerce & Industry
Most Asian countries
have Ministries of Commerce which are the
equivalent of the U.S. Department of Commerce. These Ministries
attempt to promote their countries products, attract investment and
regulate business. Generally most Asian countries seek investment
and the opening of foreign manufacturing and other projects because it
expands employment, increases trade and tax revenues. You may
want to use the Ministry to check the information you are getting from
other sources and to contact as a source of
further data.

>Ministry
of Agriculture
The U.S. government has
a Department of Agriculture with offices around
the nation. Additionally, most States also have a State
Agriculture office. Agriculture production is central to
virtually all Asian nations. Most countries in Asia have a
national Ministry of Agriculture. This Ministry is a key source
for data on agriculture production in the country, restrictions on
agriculture operation and many other issues. If your business
idea involves Agriculture we recommend you contact both the U.S.
Agricultural Attaché at the U.S. Embassy and also the Cambodian
Embassy for further information to help you fully research your
