Moreover, this royal ceremony is also a reminder to the Cambodian people, who rely mainly on agriculture, to know that the rainy season has arrived.
After three rounds of plowing as a symbol, the royal oxen were released to eat the seven kinds of food.
Of the seven foods, three were the most consumed, with 95% rice, 95% corn and 85% soybeans.
Through the consumption of the royal oxen , the priests foretold that these three agricultural crops would get better yields this year.
