Charoen Plantation Co., Ltd initiated trials and promotion of the corn seed group, particularly the CP 888 variety, starting in 1998 in Cambodia. The commercial distribution to farmers began in 1999. The CP 888 variety has been pivotal as it yields 2 ears per plant, resulting in high productivity and good income for farmers compared to other varieties. Moreover, it demonstrates resilience to drought conditions and adapts well to various environments.
