Cambodia Land Registration: Ou Da Community Forest in Kratie Recorded as State Land

Background

MLMUPC maintains Cambodia’s technical land classification and registration systems and records parcels identified as state land using established methodologies.

MLMUPC reported that the Ou Da community forest in Kratie province covers 1,349.27 hectares and has been entered in the state land register.

The announcement states the registration was processed using the Suriyo Di technical method and relevant local administration statutes, and that administrative custody of the parcel is assigned to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries with oversight involvement by the Ministry of Economy and Finance under state property arrangements.

Key Developments

On 8 August 2026 MLMUPC posted that the Ou Da community forest (1349.27 ha) has been formally registered as state land. The agency framed the action as a completed registration and used social media tags indicating a focus on land dispute resolution and heritage or conservation considerations in the locality.

Institutional Role

Under current practice, MLMUPC performs technical assessment and registry entries for state land parcels. Sectoral ministries, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, can hold administrative custody of registered forest areas while the Ministry of Economy and Finance monitors statutory state property and related fiscal oversight.

Compliance Implications

Formal entry of a parcel into the state land register creates an official administrative record that is available to government bodies and stakeholders for land administration, planning, and adjudication processes. Parties with interests in the area will need to consult the state register and the holding ministry to determine applicable administrative procedures.
