Among these operational establishments, 42 are classified as large-scale factories and enterprises, highlighting the province’s expanding capacity for industrial manufacturing and employment.

The recent economic milestones were detailed in a report presented by His Excellency Sun Sovannarith, the Governor of Kampong Chhnang Province. The presentation took place on May 27, 2026, during a meeting with provincial, municipal, district, commune, and quarter councils, alongside various departmental leaders.
