Xinhua, January 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

A surge in Chinese purchase orders helped boost the growth of Cambodia's rice export in 2015, according to a government's report released on Friday.

Cambodia exported a total of 538,396 tons of milled rice to over 50 countries and regions last year, up 39 percent from the 387,061 tons in the year before, said the report compiled by the Secretariat of One Window Service for Rice Export.

China is the top buyer of Cambodian rice, followed by France and Poland, the report said.

The world's second largest economy imported some 116,831 tons of milled rice from Cambodia last year, up 138 percent year-on-year, it said.

Hean Vanhorn, director of the Secretariat of One Window Service for Rice Export, attributed the remarkable growth to good quality rice and excellent relations between Cambodia and China. Enditem
