Economy and Industry

Industry for cashew nuts needs $300 million in working capital A senior official from the Cashew Nut Association of Cambodia (CAC) estimates that the cashew nut industry in Cambodia need operating capital of at least $300 million annually. Cashew has already been designated by the Cambodian government as an agro-industrial crop and as one of the 12 priority crops, and different measures have been taken to increase its output and competitiveness through economic diversification. Additionally, the government passed the National Cashew Nut Policy for 2022-2027, which intends to boost production and value-added. It aims to increase cashew production, enhance the quality of the product, encourage the establishment of local processing and value-adding facilities, and increase domestic processing capacity to at least 25% by 2027 and 50% by 2032.

US continues to be Cambodia's top export destination The General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE) data shows that for the first five months of this year, the United States remained Cambodia's top export market. According to the GDCE study, Cambodia's overall exports to the US during the first five months of 2023 totaled $3.19 billion, down 14.3% from $3.73 billion during the same time last year. 34.8% of Cambodia's $9.18 billion in total exports were from the US. Under the Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) classification, goods created in Cambodia that are exported to the US are subject to standard import tariffs. The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), however, provided benefits for travel-related exports from the nation to the US until its expiration in 2020. (Source: Khmer Times)
