Cambodia became the largest bicycle supplier to the European Union (EU) last year, overtaking Taiwan, which had held the number one spot for two decades, a recent report from the website Bike-EU.com said on Monday.

 

The report from the leading industry newsletter associated with the site said Cambodia exported more than 1.42 million bicycles last year – an increase of nine percent from 1.29 million bicycles in 2016.
