Cambodian banana exports to China have seen a significant increase in the first quarter of this year, attributed to adjustments in China's epidemic prevention measures and reduced transportation costs. The country exported 28,941 tons and 59,199 tons in January and February respectively to China, which is the largest market for Cambodian bananas. Despite a 13% decrease in total banana exports in 2022 compared to 2021, with over 330,000 tons going to China, Cambodia has not yet entered the European market. Local governments and departments are supporting private companies in expanding banana planting in Cambodia, particularly in Kampot Province.
