He therefore called for more organic cultivation of vegetables and fruits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry of Tourism is advised to create more green areas around the tourist attraction sites in order to generate jobs and income for Cambodian farmers and to reduce foreign imports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By Khan Sophirom<a
