PHNOM PENH, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia exported products worth 9.13 billion U.S. dollars in the first four months of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 14 percent, said an official report released on Saturday.

Main exported items included garments, footwear, travel goods, bicycles, car tires, solar panels, and potential agricultural produce such as rice, rubber, cassava, bananas, mangoes, and longans, said the report of the General Department of Customs and Excise.

The top five export destinations for the Southeast Asian nation are the United States, Vietnam, Japan, China, and Canada, the report added.

Meanwhile, the kingdom recorded a total import of 10.36 billion dollars during the January-April period this year, a rise of 19.7 percent year-on-year, the report said.

Key imported goods included petroleum, raw materials for garment, footwear and travel goods, vehicles, machinery, electronic appliances, and consuming products, among others, it added.

Ministry of Commerce's Secretary of State and Spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) had injected momentum into the country's trade growth.

"Both trade deals have served as a catalyst for our long-term and sustainable trade growth," he told Xinhua. "They are also a magnet to attract more foreign investors to Cambodia."■
