Preah Sihanouk Agro-Processing and Agriculture
Focus on high-value fine processing of products such as rice, coconut, cashew, mango, durian, as well as processing of aquaculture products (seaweed, fish and shrimp), fruit-based snacks and fruit-flavored beverages sourced directly from Preah Sihanouk Province and neighboring provinces.
Preah Sihanouk Province is positioned to lead Cambodia’s agro-industrial revolution, offering a prime base for high-value agro-processing and export. With direct access to the country’s only deep-sea port, modern industrial zones and integrated logistics, it provides unmatched advantages for transforming raw agricultural inputs into export-ready products. Backed by strong government support through the MPSEZ framework, the province presents a compelling opportunity for investors to tap into streamlined international market access and globally connected agro-processing ventures.
Aquaculture
Offshore “ocean ranch” and seaweed farming can promote economic growth and environmental protection. Marine pastures reduce pollution and support sustainable aquaculture. Government support is vital in early stages. To boost aquaculture competitiveness, investing in R&D and reducing reliance on imported breeding technologies are recommended.
Snacks
The relatively low barriers to entry and steadily growing market of snack manufacturing offer great opportunities for new entrants. Preah Sihanouk Province, with its equipped industrial foundation and investment potential, is well-suited to enter the snack manufacturing industry and initially focus on fine-processing a specific category of snacks.
Beverages
Preah Sihanouk Province is well positioned to take advantage of the low barriers to entry in the beverage production industry. The transfer of fruit-flavored beverage production from other regions presents a great opportunity.
Agricultural Trade
Preah Sihanouk Province has potential for developing agricultural trade despite lacking modern functions. In the short term, a professional agricultural market is needed. Medium-term plans include a one-stop online platform using digital technologies. Long-term goals involve adding financial functions and encouraging agro-processing near seaports to modernize key farming industries.
