Economy and Industry

Cambodia's rubber exports surge According to the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE), Cambodia's rubber exports surged in the first two months of 2024, reaching $215 million, a 90% increase from the previous year. This growth trend follows a global decline in natural rubber production and rising prices. In 2023, Cambodia earned $919 million from rubber exports from major markets including China, Vietnam, and the EU. Challenges persist in the global natural rubber market due to factors like the slowdown of the Chinese economy, geopolitical conflicts, and high borrowing costs. Cambodia boasts over 400,000 hectares of rubber plantations and has seen increased domestic demand following the establishment of tire factories by Chinese companies like General Tire Technology and Doublestar Tire Industrial. These factories aim to capitalize on Cambodia's low production costs, with plans for further expansion in the near future. (Source: Khmer Times)

Indonesia's government plans to import rice from Cambodia ahead of Eid al-Fitr In anticipation of Eid al-Fitr, Indonesia's National Food Agency (Bapanas) announced plans to import 22,500 tons of rice from Cambodia to supplement domestic stocks. Bapanas Head Arief Prasetyo Adi stated that while the government is prioritizing domestically produced rice, the decision to import from Cambodia aims to ensure sufficient supply during the upcoming harvest season. The government aims to stabilize rice prices by boosting domestic output and continuing rice aid distribution to millions of beneficiaries. Additionally, efforts like the Cheap Food Movement will be maintained to address food security concerns. Adi emphasized the importance of monitoring rice stocks stored by the state-owned logistics firm Bulog to guarantee adequacy until June 2024. (Source: Khmer Times)
