In a significant boost to the local economy, Takeo Province is gearing up for the establishment of 23 new factories and enterprises in the first half of 2025, with a total investment capital of approximately USD 75 million. This development is expected to generate around 15,000 job opportunities, particularly within the textile sector.

Governor HE Wei Samnang announced these promising developments on the Takeo Provincial Administration’s Facebook page on June 13, 2023. He emphasized the urgent need for skilled labor to meet the demands of these upcoming factories, highlighting that this growth offers substantial opportunities for job seekers, especially the youth entering the workforce.

The anticipation surrounding this investment comes on the heels of a report from the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), which revealed that within the first five months of 2025 alone, a staggering 290 investment projects have been registered, totaling approximately USD 4.2 billion. Notably, 62.27% of this investment has come from China, securing its position as the top investor. (Read more)
