Coca-Cola Cambodia Swaps Emergency Aid for Sustainable Farming in Displacement Camps
AKP Phnom Penh, January 23, 2026 --
Coca-Cola Cambodia has launched a major sustainability initiative to transform nine displacement camps into self-reliant agricultural hubs, providing long-term food security for families waiting to return to their homes.
The "Coca Khmer Hero" campaign, implemented in partnership with World Vision and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, moves beyond traditional handouts.
By establishing on-site duck farms for protein and "rapid-yield" vegetable gardens across four provinces – Preah Vihear, Siem Reap, Banteay Meanchey, and Oddar Meanchey – the project ensures a daily supply of fresh food for those in need.
"We are committed to standing with the Cambodian people during these challenging times," said Mr. Paulo Gaspar Rodrigues, Country General Manager of the Cambodia Beverage Company. "By providing the tools for self-sufficiency, we are not just giving aid; we are building hope and vocational skills for the future."
Beyond infrastructure, the initiative includes technical training from agricultural experts, ensuring displaced residents gain skills they can carry back to their home villages. To date, the company has supported over 50,000 families, evolving its mission from emergency relief to sustainable community development.
