CAPRED seeks to engage a consulting firm conduct a feasibility study on cashew processing in Cambodia.

Asbestos use in Cambodia has been prevalent primarily in the construction industry, where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are commonly used for roofing, insulation, and other building materials. All asbestos in Cambodia is imported. The annual consumption of asbestos fibre is estimated to be between 150-250 tonnes. In 2021, Cambodia imported 288 tonnes of chrysotile, but declined significantly afterward. The imports of ACMs far outweigh raw asbestos and peaked in 2021, reaching 8,355 tonnes for asbestos-cement (mainly roof sheeting), followed by friction materials and fabricated asbestos fibres (e.g. thread, woven fabric, clothing or footwear). However, the import of asbestos-cement was down to 3,253 tonnes in 2023
