• Government also encourages diversification of crops and agricultural products.
• Structurally, Cambodia will have a long period of high growth in infrastructure spending.
• Due to lack of local capability, there are opportunities for foreign firms to bring in technology and expertise.
• Rapid growth in disposable incomes and urbanization will strongly push consumer demand for household products.
• Consumers can afford more sophisticated and premium products.
Attractive Business Key Drivers
