Season 6 Episode 6: A Return to Rural Prosperity in Cambodia

The Kingdom of Cambodia is located on the Indochina Peninsula and approximately 80% of the population lives in rural areas. In the 1960's, the country thrived as a major producer and exporter of rice. However, the country was plunged into a long period of turmoil in the 1970's and the once abundant country was left in ruins. One man, Dr. Yang Saing Koma, has come across a revolutionary new way to cultivate rice and has devoted the past 20 years to restoring prosperity to Cambodia's rural areas. In this episode of Asia Insight, we follow his dedicated efforts to create a new golden age for the agriculture of Cambodia.
