Milled-rice exports to China up 7.7%, but drop elsewhere
Mon, 1 February 2021
Cambodia exported 16,163 tonnes of milled rice to China last month, representing a 1,156-tonne or 7.7-per-cent surge from the 15,007 tonnes posted in January 2020, according to a Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries report.
This comes after the Chinese government provided Cambodia an annual quota of 400,000 tonnes of milled rice.
But that trend was not universal across the Kingdom’s export destinations.
The total milled-rice export volume slipped 32.07 per cent year-on-year last month to 34,273 tonnes from 50,450 tonnes, according to ministerial statistics.

ARDB to lend $300M to agro-industry SMEs
Mon, 25 January 2021
The Agricultural and Rural Development Bank of Cambodia (ARDB) expects to disburse $300 million in loans this year at low interest rates for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the agro-processing, agro-industrial and agricultural sectors.
The loans will further contribute to the government’s policy of promoting and encouraging an upswing in domestic agricultural production to ensure food security and increase export capacity.
ARDB director-general Kao Thach told The Post on January 25 that the state-owned enterprise plans to increase lending for the agricultural sector to the extent possible to capitalise on its development, buoyed by an expansion in its capacity to grow crops, livestock and aquaculture.
