PHNOM PENH, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia exported 11.13 million tonnes of agricultural products in the first nine months of 2025, up 30.4 percent from 8.53 million tonnes over the same period last year, said a Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries report on Tuesday.
The Southeast Asian country made a total revenue of 3.88 billion U.S. dollars from the commodity exports to 88 countries and regions during the January-September period this year, the report said.
Major agricultural items for exports included rice, rubber, cassava, mangoes, yellow bananas, pepper, cashew nuts, longans, durians, 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, especially for potential agricultural produce.
"Under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), a number of Cambodian products, particularly high-quality agricultural produce such as milled rice, yellow bananas, mangoes, longans, peppercorn, and durians, have been exported to China with preferential tariffs," he told Xinhua.■
