Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Cambodian chicken meat market experienced shifts in import volumes that shaped overall consumption. A consumer preference for fresh or chilled meat over frozen varieties kept imports limited, contributing to a slight market contraction in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic then altered consumption patterns, increasing demand for frozen and ready-to-cook products for home use, which helped imports and market volume recover by 2020.

The period from 2021 to 2023 saw robust market expansion, with consumption rising from 21 000 tons to over 31 000 tons. This growth was fueled by urbanization and higher per capita incomes, which boosted demand for chicken meat, especially frozen products. Concurrent development of cold storage and distribution infrastructure supported this trend, enabling a substantial increase in imports, primarily from Vietnam.

In early 2024, market dynamics were influenced by a regulatory intervention, as authorities imposed a temporary six-month ban on imports of frozen meat and offal to protect local production. This measure began to affect import flows, reflecting efforts to balance domestic and imported supply in response to the prior surge in foreign purchases.
