Agro-Industrial Parks & Processing

Cambodia has strong potential to establish agro-industrial parks on both the demand and supply sides, with these projects expected to play a key role in boosting the country’s agriculture and agro-industry sectors . The government is actively promoting this sector through the Framework for the Development of Agro-Industrial Parks, with the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) serving as the single-window service mechanism for managing private investment .

Investment Opportunity:

• Development of agro-processing facilities adjacent to agricultural production zones
• Cold storage and logistics infrastructure for perishable goods
• Processing of cassava, cashew nuts, rice, and rubber for export markets
• Food manufacturing and packaging for regional and UK markets

Why This Sector:
The Royal Government of Cambodia is pursuing long-term plans to shift from a labour-intensive economy toward a skill-based, high-value model . Cambodia enjoys duty-free and preferential export access to most developed economies, including the UK through the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), which offers duty-free access to over 99% of goods exported to the UK
