In 2022 alone, the nation exported approximately 630,000 tonnes of milled rice, generating revenues exceeding $400 million. This remarkable achievement stems from deliberate and strategic policies under the visionary leadership of former Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen, who prioritized the development of the agricultural sector as a cornerstone of national growth.
