For 2023, Cambodia exported almost 8.5 million tonnes of agricultural products, a decrease of 1.9% compared to 2022.
The exports generated over 4.3 billion US dollars, with shipments of milled rice valued at over $567 million, unmilled paddy rice at $939 million, and other agricultural products amounting to 2.8 billion dollars, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
Hun Lak, director of Longmate Agriculture Co Ltd, says that rice prices improved throughout the year, pleasing farmers.
He believes the decline in agricultural product exports was not due to a drop in market demand but rather a decrease in the production volume of certain products like bananas, mangoes, and palm oil, due to climate change.
