Cambodia's tire exports reached $308 million in the first five months this year Cambodia exported $308 million worth of tire in the first five months this year, representing a staggering 204% increase compared to the $101 million recorded during the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Commerce. This growth is attributed to the increasing number of car tire factories and the diversification of the country's exports to international exports, noted Penn Sovicheat, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Commerce. Cambodia currently has three operational car tire manufacturing facilities in Svay Rieng, Preah Sihanouk, and Kratie Province, with several more projects awaiting regulatory approval. PM Hun Manet highlighted the importance of using domestic rubber as raw material input which will benefit local rubber plantation farmers. In 1Q24, Cambodia exported 69,322 tons of dry rubber, a 5.1% increase YoY. The country's rubber is primarily exported to Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and China, with a total rubber plantation of 407,172 hectares, of which 320,184 hectares are mature enough for processing.

Cambodia's trade with EU surges despite EBA tariff loss Despite losing some preferential trade tariffs under the Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme, Cambodia's exports to the EU increased to $1.56 billion in the first five months of 2024, up 11.83% from the previous year, according to the Ministry of Commerce. Two-way trade (imports and exports) increased by 4.14% to $1.88 billion, with Germany and Spain being the country's largest EU trade partners. Cambodia's main exports to the EU include textiles, footwear, bicycles, food products, milled rice, and other agricultural products. The EU remains a crucial market for Cambodia, driven by the improved quality and competitiveness of Cambodian products. The EU imported 136,528 tons of milled rice worth $104 million from Cambodia, constituting 45% of Cambodia's total exports. The Cambodian government is committed to strengthening trade ties with the EU as both sides discuss on a new trade scheme - the "Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+)." (Source: Khmer Times)
