Cambodia Agriculture Market Context
The Cambodian agriculture sector is the largest sector of the economy, accounting for 22% of GDP and employing over 3 million people. The sector is dominated by small-scale farmers, but there is a growing trend towards commercial agriculture.
The Cambodian agriculture sector is supported by a number of factors, including:

Opportunities in the Agriculture Sector in 2023
