    As a result, the mission has agreed on the following points:

    1. Agree on the cooperative policies and viewpoints on the commodity – cashew nuts between Dong Nai province and some regions in Cambodia. Specifically, through Vietnamese businesses and large farm owners in Cambodia, Dong Nai will help the people in Kompong Cham province as well as Cambodian farming households with the techniques for growing and taking care of cashews (including growing young cashew trees and reclaiming existing cashew-growing gardens) and the technology of harvesting cashew nuts. In terms of the cashew varieties, Dong Nai will supply high-yield varieties which suit the soil and natural conditions of each region in Cambodia.

    2. Encourage Vietnamese businesses to establish their purchasing stations in some places within Kompong Cham province and its neighboring provinces to facilitate the cashew nut trading between Vietnam and Cambodia via formal channels.

    3. Agree to support Vietnamese businesses and investors in building a center for the purchasing and preliminary processing of cashew nuts in Kompong Thom province. The center will be a link to promote a sustainable cooperation on the commodity – cashew nuts between Dong Nai and Cambodia.

    4. When the cashew growing area becomes "large enough" to supply cashew nuts for a medium-sized processing factory, Vietnamese businesses and investors will build up their factories in Kompong Cham province.
