Phnom Penh:Cambodia's international trade turnover reached US$63.45 billion during the first 10 months of 2026, reflecting a 20.9 percent increase from the same period last year, as reported by the General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia (GDCE).

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, from January to October, Cambodia exported goods valued at US$29.98 billion, showing a 20.4 percent year-on-year rise. Imports also increased by 21.2 percent, totaling US$33.47 billion.

The growth in trade is attributed to the expansion of Cambodia's export and import activities, enhanced by improved market access and participation in regional and bilateral trade agreements. H.E. Penn Sovicheat, Secretary of State and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, emphasized Cambodia's efforts in promoting export-market diversification, strengthening trade facilitation, and expanding opportunities for Cambodian products internationally.

Cambodia's involvement in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and bilateral free trade agreements, such as the Cambodia-China and Cambodia-Korea Free Trade Agreements, has facilitated preferential market access for Cambodian products. The Kingdom's major export items include garments, footwear, travel goods, machinery, electrical equipment, agricultural products, bicycles, tyres, furniture, and other manufactured goods. In contrast, major imports consist of raw materials for manufacturing, petroleum products, vehicles, electronics, and other consumer and production goods.
