Because of these wars, hundreds of thousands of educated people have fled the country to find safety. With the loss of so many skilled workers the country has been weakened. As a result of this loss Cambodia is very poor. Agriculture is a way of life in Cambodia. There are many small farms and plantations.
Many farmers harvest rice.
Cambodia is also one of the major world producers and exporters of rubber. The people of Cambodia are concerned about the well-being of others. Helping one another is a custom of the South- East Asian people. The main religion of Cambodia is Buddhism. With this religion comes the belief that one can be freed from the pain and suffering of the world through righteous thinking and living.
