PHNOM PENH, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia exported bicycles worth 311 million U.S. dollars to foreign markets in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year rise of 51.7 percent from 205 million dollars, said a Ministry of Commerce's report on Saturday.
Ministry of Commerce's Secretary of State and spokesperson Penn Sovicheat said the made-in-Cambodia bicycles had been exported mainly to the European Union, Britain, the United States, and Canada.
"Bicycles have become one of our major manufacturing products for exporting to international markets following garments, shoes, travel goods, car tires, and potential agricultural commodities such as rice, rubber, cashew nuts, yellow bananas, mangoes, and longans," he told Xinhua.
Currently, there are five bicycle factories in the Southeast Asian country, all of which are located in special economic zones in southeastern Svay Rieng Province's Bavet City, which shares a border with Vietnam. ■
