Agro King Trading Co., Ltd. has announced plans to purchase and export three types of Cambodian agricultural products to Vietnam. The initiative was confirmed by His Excellency Ky Chanromduol, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Agriculture, during a coordination meeting in Pailin province on August 29, 2025.
Agro King, a subsidiary of Hong Nga Saigon Co., Ltd., outlined that it will order 500,000 tons of red corn, 30,000 tons of peeled and hand-cut cassava, and 2,000 tons of cashew nuts annually. The products will be exported directly to Vietnam. Chanromduol urged the Pailin Provincial Department of Agriculture to promote and develop business plans that align with Agro King's purchase requirements and ensure that all contracts are clearly defined.
This development coincides with trade figures showing Cambodia's exports to Vietnam totaling around US$3.8 billion in the first seven months of 2025, compared with imports from Vietnam valued at approximately US$3.2 billion. Cambodia has positioned itself as a supplier of raw materials, while Vietnam functions as a processing hub.
The cooperation was also highlighted in a meeting between Samdech Techo Hun Sen and H.E. To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, where both sides emphasized collaboration to support economic growth and stability in the region. With Agro King's entry into the market, Cambodian farmers and exporters are expected to gain new outlets for their crops.
