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 generated a total revenue of $3.88 billion from commodity exports to 88 countries and regions during the January-September period this year, the report stated.
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, alongside garment, footwear, and travel goods exports, tourism, and construction and real estate.
Cambodian Ministry of Commerce’s Secretary of State and Spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said China is a vast 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), many 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.
