PHNOM PENH, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia had exported 59,086 tons of milled rice in January 2025, making a total revenue of 48 million U.S. dollars, the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) said in a news release on Friday.

Thirty-nine companies had shipped the kingdom's milled rice to 45 countries and regions last month, the news release said, adding that the commodity had been exported to European countries, China, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and some countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The Southeast Asian country exported 3,772 tons of milled rice to China in January this year, making 2.56 million dollars in revenue, the news release said.

Im Rachna, an undersecretary of state and spokesperson for Cambodia's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said China is one of the major markets for Cambodia's agricultural produce.

"The purchase of our agricultural products by China and other friendly countries have significantly contributed to the development of Cambodia's agriculture and brought a lot of benefits to our people, particularly farmers," she told Xinhua.

In 2024, Cambodia exported 651,522 tons of milled rice, making a total revenue of 491 million dollars, the CRF said. Enditem
