Cambodia exported 792,212 tonnes of milled rice in the first eight months of 2026, marking a significant 67.5% rise from the 472,803 tonnes shipped during the same period last year, the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) said yesterday.

According to the CRF, 61 companies shipped Cambodian milled rice to 66 countries and regions worldwide during this period.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the European Union, and China remained the primary destination markets for the kingdom’s rice exports.
