Cambodia makes over $328 mln from rubber latex exports in the first 8 months of 2025

Cambodia earned $328.3 million in revenue from exports of natural rubber latex in the first eight months of 2025, which was equal to the same amount it made over the same period last year, said an official report on Thursday.

 

The report, released by the General Directorate of Rubber, showed that the kingdom exported 183,910 tonnes of the commodity during the January-August period this year, down 12 percent from 209,733 tonnes over the same period last year.

However, the domestic consumption of rubber latex saw a significant rise of 89 percent to 75,523 tonnes in the first eight months, generating a gross revenue from local sales of nearly $137 million, the report said.

“A ton of rubber latex, on average, costs $1,786 during the first eight months of 2025, about $220 higher than that of the same period in 2024,” Khun Kakada, deputy director general of the General Directorate of Rubber, said in the report.

The Southeast Asian nation exports the commodity mainly to Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore and China.
