Earlier Report Observations

Cambodia's coconut market volume remained stable between 83 and 85 thousand tons from 2018 to 2021. This period saw favorable conditions for agrifood investments and infrastructure development, while the 2020 free trade agreement with China opened market access for 340 agricultural products, including coconuts, setting the stage for future growth.

Market volume jumped to 102 thousand tons in 2022, a rise driven by preparations for exporting fresh coconuts to China after authorities approved shipments starting April 2024. The expansion was supported by reported coconut plantations covering nearly 20,000 hectares, indicating increased cultivation ahead of the export launch.

Volume eased slightly to 101 thousand tons in 2023 amid broader efforts to diversify agricultural exports. Cambodia officially commenced fresh coconut exports to China in 2024, with 13 plantations and 5 processing factories approved, solidifying coconuts as a promising export commodity.
