Cambodia exported a total of 25,994 tonnes of milled rice to Australia in the first ten months of this year, a 53 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

 

This is a significant rise, especially for organic and sustainable rice (SRP: Sustainable Rice Platform), Song Saran, President of the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF), told Pablo Kang, Ambassador of Australia to Cambodia during his recent visit to rice silo and mill of Amru Rice (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. in Kampong Thom province.

 

It is a pride that the Australian government has supported Cambodia’s rice sector, said CRF, continuing that in addition to the increase in rice export, a number of Australian companies have been interested in investing in the rice sector in the Kingdom. Cambodia exported 536,305 tonnes of milled rice in the first ten months of 2020, a year-on-year increase of 17.11 percent, generating $366.44 million as income.

Yes if they could improve their infrastructure -----to get the rice to one of the few seagoing outlets they have, I am sure they will continue to improve. Australia (who has built many of the  friendship bridges) etc in Cambodia does not put a tariff on most of their goods-so imported a lot cheaper.
