Maylee Thavat writes: “Making rice noodles – a rare sight in a Cambodian village. Typically one hour of pounding this rice and water mixture results in one kilo of rice noodles that can be sold for $0.25. Opportunity costs for labour intensive, on-farm noodle-making are high especially given the flood of industrially produced cheap and popular MaMa noodles from Thailand in the Cambodian market.”

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
