Cambodian authorities have reported a rise in rubber exports between January-April 2021 compared to 2020, while milled rice exports are down.
Cambodia's Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Veng Sakhon reportedly told local media that the Kingdom had exported $2.09 billion of agricultural products to the international market in the first quarter of 2021.
The Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) claims that $99.87 million of natural rubber exports were made in Q1 of 2021 first four months of 2021, which represents an increase of 2.5 per cent.
However, the Phnom Penh Post does indicate that overall tonnage was down and the rubber prices had increased in this period. In 2020 rubber exports from Cambodia reached 340,000 tonnes (generating $459 million).
