The US multinational Walmart has said it will buy more garment, footwear and luggage products from Cambodia next year due to increased capacity from suppliers and improved labour conditions in the country. Scott Price, a senior executive at Walmart International, yesterday made the commitment at a meeting with Labour Minister Ith Samheng in Phnom Penh.

 

Mr Samheng said Walmart executives had told him they wanted to increase orders since they were happy with the quality of garment, footwear and luggage products bearing the “Made in Cambodia” label. “After visiting Cambodia, Walmart understands the working conditions of factory staff and can see that we do not allow labour abuse,” he said.

 

“Factories also have the capacity to supply the products, so Walmart has decided to increase orders from Cambodia.” Mr Samheng said Walmart is a big buyer of garment products from Cambodia, but declined to put a figure on the value of its business.
