Rice sector predicts a worrying trend
Although data for first four months of this year have shown a slight rise in rice exports, millers and exporters continue to raise concerns on the back of April’s rapid decline. The most recent data on rice exports released by Cambodia’s Ministry of Agriculture stated that 39,550 tonnes of rice was exported in April of this year, more than 30 per cent less than the same time last year. In comparison, March exports only decreased by 14.5 per cent year-on-year.
