(Phnom Penh): In the first half of 2025, Cambodia exported approximately 7.8 million tonnes of agricultural products to 78 countries worldwide, generating approximately US$2.872 billion in revenue.
According to a report from the General Department of Agriculture under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Cambodia exported approximately 7.8 million tonnes of agricultural products to 78 countries from January through June. These included more than 3.1 million tonnes of paddy, more than 380,000 tonnes of milled rice and more than 4.2 million tonnes of other crops. Export volume increased 27.66% compared with the same period in 2024.
Revenue from these agricultural exports exceeded US$2.872 billion, including US$638 million from paddy, more than US$307 million from milled rice and more than US$1.926 billion from other crops.
Although total agricultural exports increased in the first half of the year, exports of some crops, including fresh cassava, red corn and fresh mangoes, declined. Farmers dried fresh cassava and processed it into flour rather than exporting it fresh. Domestic companies purchased large quantities of red corn to process into animal feed, while domestic factories bought mangoes to process into dried mango for export.
In the first half of 2024, Cambodia exported approximately 6 million tonnes of agricultural products to 77 countries, an increase of 57% compared with the same period in 2023, when exports totaled nearly 4 million tonnes.
