Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for sweet potatoes in Cambodia experienced a sharp increase in 2019, rising to 54 412 t from 35 107 t the previous year, largely due to a significant jump in domestic production. This was followed by a consistent, gradual decline over the subsequent four years, with the market contracting to 39 239 t by 2023.

Broader trends in the country's fruit and vegetable sector, including economic growth, urbanization, and tourism in major cities, have been stimulating demand for processed products like fresh-cut, dried, and puréed items. These developments within the agricultural and food processing industry create a context that may influence sweet potato consumption and production patterns.
