PHNOM PENH, Jan. 5 — Cambodia exported a total of 940,321 tons of milled rice in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 46 percent, said a Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) press release on Monday.
The Southeast Asian country earned 602.41 million U.S. dollars in revenue from the exports of milled rice last year, up 22.7 percent year-on-year, the press release said.
Sixty-eight companies had shipped milled rice to 75 countries and regions last year, the press release said. CRF secretary general Lun Yeng said about 64.02 percent of the exported rice was fragrant rice, 18.56 percent was broken rice, 13.71 percent was white rice, 2 percent was parboiled rice, 1.32 percent was organic rice, and 0.39 percent was other types of rice.
Ministry of Commerce’s Spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement have laid a solid foundation for Cambodia’s exports of agricultural items to China and other RCEP countries. “Under these trade pacts, made-in-Cambodia products, especially quality agricultural goods such as rice, yellow bananas, mangoes, longans, peppercorn, and durians, have been exported to China with preferential tariffs,” he told Xinhua.(Namibia Daily News/Xinhua)
