The fruits and vegetables market in Cambodia is expanding due to increasing urbanization, a growing middle class, and rising disposable incomes. The country's favorable climate support the agriculture sector's development. Cambodia's agricultural economy produces various tropical fruits (mangoes, bananas, pineapples) and leafy vegetables (cabbage, lettuce, chili).
Cambodian consumers' increasing health awareness has led to higher consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. The urbanization and middle-class expansion in cities like Phnom Penh drive this demand. Cambodia has established itself as a significant exporter of fruits, including mangoes, bananas, and durian, primarily to China and ASEAN countries. According to the ITC Trade Map, Cambodia exported 2,355 metric tons of mangoes to China in 2023.
Bananas remain Cambodia's primary fruit crop. Chinese demand has significantly increased banana production in the country. FAOSTAT data shows banana production grew from 330 million metric tons in 2020 to 378 million metric tons in 2023. The number of Cambodian banana enterprises approved for Chinese exports continues to increase. The mango industry has strengthened through improved production and supply chain practices. In the vegetable category, tomatoes are the most widely cultivated crop. The main vegetable-producing regions include Kandal, Kampong Cham, Siem Reap, and Kampot.
Cambodia Fruits And Vegetables Market Trends
Growing Food and Beverage Industry Stimulates Cambodian Fruit Production
The Cambodian food and beverage market has experienced significant development in recent years, attracting investments from regional and international brands. The expanding economy, increasing urbanization, and tourism growth in major cities like Siem Reap and Phnom Penh drive Cambodia's processed fruit market. The country produces and consumes various processed food and beverage products, including fresh-cut fruits, sauces, fruit juices, ketchup, puree, and wine.
According to Agriculture Organization (FAO) statistics, Cambodia's fruit production increased from 562.8 million metric tons in 2021 to 610.9 million metric tons in 2023. This growth stems from rising global demand for natural, healthy ingredients and expansion in the food and beverage industries worldwide. Cambodia's tropical climate supports diverse fruit cultivation, positioning the country as a valuable source of raw materials for F&B products. The country produces tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, coconuts, and lychees, which are processed into various products, including fresh juices, smoothies, canned fruits, and desserts for domestic and international markets. The increasing consumer preference for natural and healthy products indicates potential continued growth in Cambodia's fruit production sector.
Industrial development and government initiatives have attracted foreign investment in fruit processing. In 2022, the Ministry of Commerce invited Korean companies to invest in processing facilities for mangoes, bananas, and longans to produce fruit products meeting specific import standards. The strong Korean demand for Cambodian mango products has boosted domestic production and imports, with Korea aiming to import at least 10,000 metric tons of mangoes annually from Cambodia, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
