At the Cambodia Agriculture Forum and Exhibition 2026 (CAFE26) in Phnom Penh on October 24, 2026, Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, urged increased investment in processing technology and quality standards to generate greater added value from Cambodian agricultural production and strengthen export competitiveness.
He stressed that exports remained dominated by raw or semi-processed agricultural products, which generate low added value and are vulnerable to price fluctuations on international markets. By: Srey Pi
