In a significant move for the agricultural sector, Agro King Trading Co., Ltd. has announced its intent to purchase four types of Cambodian agricultural products for export to Vietnam. This initiative aims to strengthen trade ties between the two neighboring countries and boost the local economy.

The announcement was made by His Excellency Ky Chanromduol, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Agriculture, during a coordination meeting for Agro King’s purchasing and selling operations in Pailin province on August 29, 2025.

Agro King, a subsidiary of Hong Nga Saigon Co., Ltd., plans to export substantial quantities of cassava, red corn, cashew nuts, and soybeans from Cambodia to Vietnam. The company is set up to order an impressive 500,000 tons of red corn, 30,000 tons of peeled and hand-cut cassava, along with 2,000 tons each of cashew nuts and soybeans annually.

In his remarks, His Excellency Ky Chanromduol emphasized the need for the Pailin Provincial Department of Agriculture to actively promote and develop business plans that align with Agro King’s purchase specifications, ensuring clear contracts are in place for all transactions.

This announcement comes at a time when trade statistics reveal a positive trend in Cambodia’s exports to Vietnam. In the first seven months of 2025, Cambodia exported approximately USD 3.8 billion worth of goods to Vietnam, outstripping imports from Vietnam, which totaled around USD 3.2 billion. The two countries are complementing each other in the trade sector, with Cambodia serving as a source of raw materials and Vietnam functioning as a processing hub.

The cooperative efforts were further emphasized by Samdech Techo Hun Sen in a recent meeting with H.E. To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, underscoring the importance of collaboration in fostering economic growth and stability in the region.

As Agro King moves forward with its purchasing plans, the agricultural landscape in Cambodia stands poised for growth, presenting new opportunities for local farmers and exporters alike.
