Earlier Report Observations

The sugar cane market in Cambodia exhibited considerable volatility between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 692 thousand tons in 2018, the market volume fell to 618 thousand tons in 2019 before recovering to a peak of 652 thousand tons in 2021. Domestic production followed a similar pattern, indicating that local harvests were the primary source of supply.

Following the 2021 high, the market entered a downward phase, declining to 639 thousand tons in 2022 and further to 619 thousand tons in 2023. A pivotal development in 2023 was the commencement of sugar cane exports, which reached 27.5 thousand tons and directly reduced the volume available for the domestic market. Imports remained negligible throughout the period, underscoring the market's dependence on local output.
