Cambodia’s Stone Processing Industry Flourishes with USD 90 Million in Revenue in 2024

In a noteworthy development for Cambodia’s economy, the stone processing sector has emerged as a significant contributor, generating an impressive USD 90 million in revenue in 2024. This remarkable achievement highlights the industry’s growth potential and its critical role in the national budget.

As the Ministry of Information reported on 16 February 2025, Cambodia currently boasts 68 stone processing plants distributed across 11 provinces, translating to 90 active projects. Leading the way is Kratie province, which houses 22 companies involved in stone processing, accounting for 27 distinct projects that collectively cover an area of approximately 2,065 hectares.

In addition to stone processing, the region has piqued interest in sawdust mineral resources, particularly in the Sambor and Snuol districts, as highlighted by Ms. Leng Davy, Vice President of the Sawdust Association. These areas are considered to have substantial potential for further development.

The stone processing industry bolsters the Cambodian economy and serves as a vital export sector, with nearly 90% of processed stone products being shipped abroad. This includes various applications, from large slabs used in construction to custom sculptures and decorative features for interiors and exteriors.

Sawn stone, the primary product of this industry, is derived from natural building stone that is quarried and meticulously crafted into various forms, serving as essential materials for construction and landscaping.

As Cambodia continues to develop its natural resources, the stone processing sector is a testament to its promise of economic growth and sustainable industry practices.
