Cambodia makes 3.62 bln USD from exports of agricultural products in first 8 months of 2025

Cambodia exported 10.37 million tonnes of agricultural products in the first eight months of 2025, up 35.6 percent compared to the same period last year, said a Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries report on Wednesday.

 

The Southeast Asian country earned a total revenue of 3.62 billion U.S. dollars from the commodity exports during the January-August period this year, the report said.

 

Main agricultural items for exports included rice, rubber, cassava, mangoes, yellow bananas, pepper, cashew nuts, longans, and corn, among others.

 

Agriculture is one of the four pillars supporting Cambodia's economic growth, in addition to garment, footwear, and travel goods export, tourism, and construction and real estate.

 

Cambodian Ministry of Commerce's Secretary of State and Spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said China is a huge market for Cambodian products, particularly potential agricultural produce.

 

"Under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement, a number of Cambodian products, especially high-quality agricultural produce such as milled rice, yellow bananas, mangoes, longans, peppercorn, and durians, as well as some wild aquatic products, have been exported to China with preferential tariffs," he told Xinhua.
