Border

The border is the ground above 50 m in Kirivong district (OpenStreetMap relation 18547452), the Bayong Kor hills, about 66 km² (SRTM elevation data). Until October 2026 the page was the Kirivong growing area, at the title Kirivong; the growing area is now Takeo, the whole province, and Kirivong keeps its outline as an appellation within it.

Citations corrected

Two citations named the wrong source. The "Green Triangle" report of February 2020 is a Khmer Times article ("Kirivong cannabis cultivators caught", 22 February 2020), not a Phnom Penh Post one, and the January 2023 report naming Kiri Vong district as the country's largest growing area is the Khmer Times article "Takeo takes the marijuana cake" (10 January 2023). Both were corrected here and on Cannabis eradication in Kirivong.
