Kirivong (ស្រុកកិរីវង់) is a district (srok) of Takeo province, Cambodia, bordering Vietnam to the south and east. The district is defined by the Bayong Kor mountain range, a low forested range that runs along the Vietnamese border.

Kirivong is the primary centre of landrace cannabis cultivation in Cambodia, known in enforcement reports as the "Green Triangle." For full documentation of cannabis cultivation, growing practices, market data and eradication campaigns, see the appellation article: Kirivong, in the Takeo growing area.

Geography

Kirivong district occupies the southeastern corner of Takeo province. The Bayong Kor mountains form its dominant geographic feature, rising from the lowland rice paddies (~50 m) to approximately 400 m. The district's border with Vietnam's Tay Ninh and Long An provinces makes it a natural corridor for cross-border trade.[1]

Administration

Kirivong district comprises multiple communes (khum), of which four in the Bayong Kor range are consistently identified in enforcement reports as centres of cannabis cultivation: Preah Bat Choan Chum, Prey Ampok, Som and Kiri Chung Koh.[1][2]
