Worthless article.  I would be interested in seeing a breakdown of the exported goods.  It cannot just be rice.  And why is Cambodia not pivoting away from low rent markets like Vietnam with the world food crisis emerging.  Surely there are large gaps in the Euro markets emerging now due to the Ukraine war.
