Cambodia's salt production commenced in October 2024, with 30% of the production being sold domestically. Despite the industry seeing a challenge due to a sharp decline in exported salt, leading to a market crisis with an inventory surplus of 40% to 50% and a drop in domestic salt prices, the industry is on track to surpass its 2025 production targets with favorable weather conditions. However, the industry is currently facing challenges such as losses for salt farmers due to low domestic prices, suspension of production, and a stagnant export market due to international conflicts like the Middle East conflict and the Russian-Ukrainian war. Nonetheless, the industry has shown growth, producing 130,000 tons in 2024, a significant increase from 80,000 tons in 2023.
