Palm trees have been grown in Cambodia for many years. They are long life trees which have been found most in Takev, Kandal and KampongSpeu province. There are several advantages of palm trees.
One advantage is that their leaves and branches are used to mate roofs and other materials for using in homes, so some farmers don't have to spend much money on building. Moreover, their fruits are used for vegetables and making sweet. Their leaves and branches aren't only used to make roofs, but also used for firewood. Their trunks are used some parts of the building and furniture with high quality. For the most important point, each palm tree can give hundreds of liters of palm juice to make palm sugar which is delicious and have no chemical substance. Palm wine is also used for drink instead of wine or beer.
In my conclusion, I think that every part of palm trees is useful for Cambodian people, so we have to prevent and plant more.
