The founders of BRM Agro have a rich history of working in agriculture and promoting projects that have tangible benefits for the communities they operate in.
As an integrated rice farm and rice milling company in Kampong Thom province, we explore and implement innovative approaches and at the core of our philosophy is a Citizen Impact and a driving belief that we can help Cambodian farmers and the agriculture industry be a world leader.
When the business was established In 2015, we built a 13 km long road linking Highway 6 to our BRM Agro farm by 2016. There were huge impacts for the community and smallholder, farmers from the investment in this road:
Our model of working with smallholder farmers in the community provides families with a number of benefits. The land rented out to local farmers is paired with a suite of value-added services to improve productivity and quality. The full-service package includes:
Farmers also have access to BRM-owned farming equipment such as tilling, planting, harvesting, crane trucks, etc.
We believe that when women in society improve their livelihoods - all of society benefits. BRM Agro empowers women through active recruitment and training and in 2023 over 30% of BRM’s management team are female - including our Operations Manager in Kampong Thom - and 50% of all rice farmers in BRM Agro’s supply network are currently women.
We also offer several programs that support the women and mothers who work with us:
We are further investing in providing a creche area on site as well as a safe children's playground and there is much more to come!
By 2027, we will aim to expand operations and our supplier network significantly to work with over one thousand families on BRM land & non-BRM land.
