Kampot

Kampot is a city on the Preaek Tuek Chhu River in southern Cambodia. It's known for its pepper plantations and salt fields.

Kampot Pepper farm

Kampot Pepper takes its name from the province of Kampot, in southwest Cambodia, some 140 kilometres from the capital of Phnom Penh. The pepper industry dates back to as early as the 13th century, if you can believe it. However, its international popularity and intense production was not until several centuries later. The French colonists had no doubts about their fondness for the flavourful spice. Under their rule, the country was producing a staggering 8000 tons of pepper a year.

Kampot Salt Fields

Visiting the Kampot salt fields will let you take closer look at how the ocean water is let into the fields and left to evaporate naturally into salt crystals under the hot sun. The salt is then collected and delivered to the salt factory for processing. Kampot salt fields produce an average of 13,000 to 14,000 tonnes of yield annually. It is an interesting experience for everyone, not to mention the picturesque sceneries of rural Cambodia that is going to take your breath away en route to the salt fields.
