By 2024, Cambodia Completed Nearly 8,000 Hectares of State-Owned Private Land Registration Covering Four Strategic Locations

Cambodia made significant strides in land management in 2024, with the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning, and Construction successfully registering 7,725.30 hectares of state-owned private land across four major locations.

The registered sites include 892.19 hectares in Romdos Sre commune, Choam Ksan district, Preah Vihear province; 4,806.42 hectares in Rayor commune, Mondulkiri province; 1,181.58 hectares in Soksan commune, Koh Nhek district, Mondulkiri province; and 845.11 hectares in Kbal Damrey commune, O’Kreang district, Kratie province. This milestone underscores Cambodia’s commitment to efficient land management, as reported on 1 December 2024.

To date, the government has completed the registration of 15 state-owned private land sites, totaling 17,364.43 hectares, and declared 16 social land concessions to benefit communities. These social concessions have provided 1,356,857.14 hectares of land to 487,574 families, facilitating the construction of homes for 8,141 individuals and demonstrating the state’s ongoing dedication to addressing community needs.

Progress has also been recorded in Indigenous community land registration, with 15 target villages completing the process and seven additional villages currently engaged in land registration activities. These villages are spread across Ratanakkiri, Kratie, Mondulkiri, and Stung Treng provinces. Specific communities include Kiribati Krom and Tonsong villages in Stung Treng province and Koh Khmer village in Kratie province, among others.

The ministry plans to build on its 2024 accomplishments by focusing on expanded land registration initiatives in 2025. The continued allocation of social land concessions and improved Indigenous land registration processes remain central to its mission of fostering sustainable development and equitable land management in Cambodia.
