Australia and Cambodia join forces to achieve Rice export goal

Cambodia's rice is world-renowned, with fragrant variety Phka Rumduol winning the World's Best Rice award five times. Over the coming year, Cambodia aims to increase its milled rice exports to 1 million tons annually (a third more than last year).  

  

Australia is proud to support the Cambodia Rice Forum 2024, which brought together over 400 leaders to discuss challenges and opportunities in the rice value chain.  

  

The Cambodia Rice Forum 2024 provided a platform for Cambodian agri-food exporters to connect with international buyers and retailers, including those from Australia, fostering potential business opportunities. Visits to rice milling facilities also showcased Cambodia’s export potential.   

  

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet provided closing remarks at the forum, emphasising the importance of collaboration among all stakeholders to realise the country's rice export ambitions.
