Cambodia Makes Historic Rice Export to Indonesia
In a significant milestone for Cambodia’s rice industry, the country has successfully exported milled rice to Indonesia for the first time. The shipment, consisting of 3,500 tons of white rice, arrived in Semarang City, Central Java province on Thursday. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his satisfaction with this achievement, stating that it is the result of fruitful negotiations to open up Indonesia’s market for Cambodian milled rice.
The export of milled rice to Indonesia holds great promise for Cambodia. Not only does it increase the kingdom’s export volume, but it also plays a crucial role in improving the livelihoods of farmers. The revenue generated from the export of milled rice is expected to have a positive impact on the agricultural sector and the overall economy of Cambodia.
Indonesia’s agreement to purchase 125,000 tons of milled rice from Cambodia in August demonstrates the growing demand for Cambodian rice in the international market. This is a testament to the high quality and competitiveness of Cambodian rice products. The Cambodia Rice Federation reported that in the first nine months of 2023, Cambodia had already exported a total of 456,581 tons of milled rice to 57 countries and regions, earning an impressive revenue of 327.4 million U.S. Dollars.
While China and Europe have been the major markets for Cambodian milled rice, the successful export to Indonesia opens up new opportunities for the country’s rice industry. This achievement serves as a testament to Cambodia’s commitment to diversifying its rice export destinations and strengthening its position as a leading rice exporter in the region.
The export of milled rice to Indonesia marks a significant milestone for Cambodia, showcasing its ability to compete in the global rice market. With the support of international buyers and the continuous efforts of rice suppliers and exporters in Cambodia, the country is well on its way to further expanding its presence in the international rice trade.
