Danish Delegation to Cambodia

Organized by the Royal Danish Embassy in Thailand, this exclusive delegation offers Danish businesses a unique opportunity to explore Cambodia's thriving livestock (poultry, swine, and cattle) and food processing sectors. Connect with key government officials and industry leaders to drive innovation and uncover sustainable growth opportunities. Position your company at the forefront of Cambodia’s rapidly evolving agricultural and food industries.

Why Cambodia?

1. Untapped Market Potential
While neighbouring countries have more mature food markets, Cambodia remains a growing, less-saturated market with room for innovation. Its USD 1.7 billion food processing sector is poised for significant development.

Cambodia's food industry is still in its early stage and transitioning from traditional practices to modern, value-added processing. As a result, this "Blue Ocean" opportunity allows Danish companies to not only supply high-quality products but also play a role in shaping the future direction of Cambodia’s food sector, positioning themselves as leaders in the market's modernization and creating lasting value that benefits both local consumers and international businesses.

2. Strategic Location
Cambodia’s position within ASEAN provides access to a 650 million-person market and connectivity to key regions like China and India, making it an ideal hub for trade and distribution. Additionally, Cambodia has emerged as a regional agri-food processing hub, attracting large conglomerates from Thailand, further boosting its role in the global supply chain and enhancing its appeal for international investment.

3. Growing Demand for Processed Foods
Cambodia's emerging middle class is driving strong demand for high-quality processed foods. The food processing industry grew by 5.8% in 2022, with increasing interest in meat, dairy, and Western-style products.

4. Supportive Government Policies
Cambodia offers tax incentives and economic zones designed to attract foreign investment, particularly in agriculture and food processing, with FDI rising by 15.5% in 2022.

5. Expanding Agricultural & Livestock Sector
With strong growth in the livestock sector (up 7.3% in 2022), with a significant increase in meat production, including poultry, swine, and cattle.

6. Sustainability & Innovation Opportunities
As Cambodia looks to modernize its food industry, the Cambodian government has set ambitious goals to reduce agricultural emissions and increase the sustainability of its food production, aiming for 30% renewable energy in the agricultural sector by 2030.
