AKP Phnom Penh, January 23, 2026 --

Cambodia exported a total of 14.9 million tonnes of agricultural products in 2025, marking a 27.83 percent year-on-year increase, generating approximately US$5 billion in revenue, according to a report released Friday by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

Paddy rice exports reached 6.85 million tonnes, an increase of 48.85 percent, while milled rice exports totaled 940,321 tonnes, up 45.59 percent. Non-rice agricultural products rose to 7.11 million tonnes, the report added.

H.E. Dith Tina, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said the country’s agricultural production and supply capacity remain sufficient to meet domestic demand and ensure national food security, despite challenges arising from the situation along the Cambodian-Thai border.

“In 2025, crop exports recorded significant growth of 27.83 percent compared to 2024. Despite facing various challenges, the export of agricultural products has continued to expand,” he underlined.

China and Vietnam were the major importers of Cambodia’s agricultural products in 2025.

Agriculture remains one of the four key pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy. The Royal Government of Cambodia has announced the implementation of a new strategic policy aimed at upgrading agriculture from household-based production to commercial farming, while increasing farmers’ incomes through value-added products.
