The Cambodia Rice Federation released a report on June 5, 2026, revealing that Cambodia exported 568,912 tonnes of milled rice to 63 markets in the first five months of 2026, generating more than USD 327.43 million.

The Kingdom shipped:

  • 154,254 tonnes of milled rice worth more than USD 105 million to 31 European countries; 
  • 162,125 tonnes, valued at USD 94.92 million, to China and its autonomous regions; 
  • 208,593 tonnes worth USD 87.32 million to five ASEAN member states;
  • 43,940 tonnes, valued at USD 40.07 million, to 24 other markets, including Africa and the Middle East.

Fragrant rice remained the leading export product, accounting for 59.20 per cent of total milled rice exports, followed by white rice (22.28 per cent). Organic rice accounted for 1.04 per cent, parboiled rice 1.72 per cent, broken rice 15.58 per cent, and other rice varieties 0.18 per cent.

In addition, Cambodia exported more than 2.75 million tonnes of paddy rice during this five-month period, generating an estimated revenue of USD 591.41 million.

In 2025, Cambodia and China signed a new agreement to increase Cambodia’s milled rice export quota to China to 500,000 tonnes, representing a 25 per cent increase from the previous quota of 400,000 tonnes.

Cambodia Rice Export Pricing – June 2026

The Cambodia Rice Federation also released its official export rice price evaluation on June 2, 2026, which described organic rice options representing the highest-priced exports from Cambodia. Organic Rice (Jasmine) lead the entire portfolio at an impressive USD 1,350 per metric tonne, closely followed by Organic Parboiled Rice at USD 1,100 per metric tonne and Organic Rice (White Rice) at USD 1,050 per metric tonne.

In the premium aromatic sector, Cambodia’s award-winning Malys Angkor (Phka Romdoul) maintained a robust position, trading at USD 848 per metric tonne. Other notable fragrant varieties also showed steady market valuation, with Fragrant Rice (SKO) listed at USD 725 per metric tonne and Fragrant Rice (SRO) valued at USD 630 per metric tonne.

The mid-tier and standard consumer segments offered competitive baseline options for international buyers seeking 5 per cent broken grain benchmarks. At the top of the price index was Brown Rice (Jasmine), which trades at USD 860 per metric tonne and slightly outprices standard milled fragrant options due to its specialised processing. 

This is followed by conventional Parboiled Rice grains, rounding out the index at USD 600 per metric tonne, and Brown Rice (White Rice) standing at a more accessible USD 560 per metric tonne. Finally, White Rice (Soft Texture) was priced at USD 550 per metric tonne, while prices for White Rice (Hard Texture) were unavailable.
