Earlier Report Observations

The Cambodian milk and cream market opened the period at 44 787 t in 2018, following the introduction of new registration and safety standards for animal feeds and prepared foods. Market volume then contracted to 38 967 t in 2019 as imports fell sharply, before recovering to 41 874 t in 2020 amid COVID‑19 supply‑chain disruptions that prompted local players to secure alternative sourcing.

Growth continued through 2021 and 2022, with the market reaching 46 034 t by 2022. During these years, the state‑owned Khmer Fresh Milk Co. Ltd. expanded its operations, while the Law on Food Safety and subsequent labeling clarifications raised compliance requirements for all packaged milk and cream.

A notable surge occurred in 2023, when market volume jumped 12% to 51 490 t. This acceleration was driven by the entry of Vinamilk, which opened a large production facility near Phnom Penh, and the operational launch of the National Single Window, which streamlined import clearance for dairy products. Concurrently, enforcement of Khmer‑language labeling rules tightened, and plant‑based dairy alternatives began gaining traction among health‑conscious consumers.
