Phnom Penh, Cambodia

On the morning of Monday, 7 September 2026, at the Ministry of Commerce, His Excellency Buon Sarakmony, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Commerce, held a bilateral meeting with Ms. Chan Sokvasna, Founder and Executive President of the American Cambodian Business Chamber (ACBC), along with a delegation representing U.S. companies in food processing, packaging, shipping, and logistics, to explore trade cooperation and investment opportunities in Cambodia.

During the meeting, His Excellency Secretary of State warmly welcomed the delegation's interest in exploring business and investment opportunities in Cambodia. He highlighted the potential of Cambodian products—such as rice, cashew nuts, durian, Kampot pepper, cassava, and rubber—which can undergo further processing to enhance added value and export to the U.S. market. 

Meanwhile, the ACBC delegation expressed strong interest in expanding business operations in Cambodia, noting that the country possesses abundant agricultural raw materials and high-quality products that have yet to be fully processed or value-added to their maximum potential.

In this context, both sides discussed connecting Cambodian producers and suppliers with U.S. buyers and distributors, as well as strengthening packaging, warehousing, shipping, and logistics systems to maintain product quality and boost competitiveness in international markets. ACBC also confirmed plans to bring additional U.S. business delegations to Cambodia in the near future to further expand trade and investment cooperation between the two nations.
