CAFE25 aims to accelerate investment, innovation, and partnerships across the country’s rapidly evolving agri-food systems.

The Cambodia Agriculture Forum and Exhibition 2025 (CAFE25) is drawing large numbers of visitors to the Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Center in Phnom Penh, according to a statement released yesterday by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF).

The event, regarded as a flagship national platform, aims to accelerate investment, innovation, and partnerships across the country’s rapidly evolving agri-food systems.

Bringing together stakeholders from government agencies, private companies, financial institutions, farmers’ groups, and development partners, CAFE25 serves as a dynamic meeting point for discussions on modernising one of Southeast Asia’s most promising agricultural markets.

The exhibition highlights new technologies, business opportunities, and strategies designed to boost productivity and strengthen value chains.

Organised by the MAFF and supported by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) under its Hand-in-Hand Initiative, the forum aligns with Cambodia’s broader efforts to build a competitive, inclusive, and climate-resilient agricultural sector.

According to an FAO statement, Cambodia offers strong potential in areas such as value-added processing, export expansion, climate-smart farming, and cooperative development.

With supportive policies, rising investor interest, and growing regional demand, the country is positioning itself as an emerging hub for sustainable agribusiness in Southeast Asia.
