Cambodia's trade with RCEP countries surges to $11.19 billion in 1Q24 Cambodia earned over $3.36 billion from exports to Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) members in 1Q24, up 16.2% from $2.89 billion in the same period in 2023. The Ministry of Commerce noted that imports from RCEP countries rose 13% to 7.83 billion from $6.93 billion. Cambodian exports to RCEP accounted for 44.57% of the Kingdom's total exports of $8.82 billion during this period. Overall, Cambodia's two-way trade with RCEP nations increased by 13.98% to $11.19 billion, representing 66.2% of the country's total international trade of $16.91 billion. Penn Sovicheat, Secretary of State and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, attributed this growth to the trade preferences under the RCEP agreement, which took effect on January 1, 2022, and includes 15 Asia-Pacific countries. RCEP nations collectively represent about 30% of the global population and GDP, and approximately 28% of the global trade. (Source: Khmer Times)

Cambodia's pepper eyes Malaysian market The Cambodia Pepper and Spice Federation (CPSF) promoted Cambodia's organic pepper in Malaysia by participating in the Malaysia Industry Conference 2024 from May 14th to May 15th. This event provided CPSF a platform to highlight Cambodia's pepper industry to Malaysian buyers and other international participants. CPSF Executive Director Van Vannal emphasized that the conference allowed CPSF to establish itself as a key player in the international pepper sector, fostering cooperation with the Malaysia Pepper Board and potential importers globally. The CPSF showcased the high quality of Cambodia's GI and organic pepper and plans to facilitate key partnerships with global players. Cambodia cultivates pepper on 6,935 hectares and exports both GI and non-GI varieties, with the GI pepper primarily going to the EU. The current pepper price ranges between $3000-$3500 per ton. In 2023, Cambodia exported 6,153 tons of dried pepper, a 26.7% decrease YoY. (Source: Khmer Times)

Cambodia earned $870 million in revenue from rice and paddy exports in the first quarter Cambodia generated $870 million from rice and paddy exports in 1Q24, with 80% of the revenue coming from paddy exports. The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) reported that the Kingdom exported 240,000 tons of rice worth $170 million and 2.4 million tons of rice paddy worth $700 million. This follows 2023 exports of 650,000 tons of rice and 4 million tons of paddy, collectively earning $1.3 billion. Heng Sith, a Battambang Provincial Agriculture Officer, noted that recent challenges in rice milling have been mitigated by loans from the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB), improving productivity. However, rice production costs, especially for fuel and fertilizer, remain an issue. Heng Pheng, a rice mill owner, praised the Royal Government of Cambodia's $100 million package to support agricultural product purchases, ensuring stable prices and enhancing export potential.
