Phnom penh: The Cambodia Agriculture Forum and Exhibition 2025 (CAFE25) kicked off this morning at Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre, Phnom Penh, featuring more than 400 booths showcasing Cambodia’s finest in agriculture, agri-food products, and cutting-edge agri-tech innovations.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the event, which will run until November 16, brings together a network of stakeholders from government, the private sector, and financial institutions to farmers, agribusinesses, and development partners. The multi-day event is designed to catalyze growth in one of Southeast Asia’s promising agricultural markets.

More than 300 companies and exhibitors are showcasing their agricultural products and technologies at the event, allowing participants to try and test their products and technological tools. The strategic agricultural products on display include rice, cashews, pepper, vegetables, fish, cassava, rubber, mangoes, and many other products, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF).

Led by MAFF and supported by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations under its Hand-in-Hand Initiative along with national and international partners, CAFE25 is part of a broader strategy to transform Cambodia’s agricultural sector into a more competitive, inclusive, and resilient engine of economic growth.

CAFE25 is a flagship national platform dedicated to accelerating investment, innovation, and partnerships in Cambodia’s agri-food systems. It is not just an exhibition or a forum, but an important platform for farmers, processors, traders, investors, and policymakers to share ideas, form partnerships, and explore new opportunities for building long-term partnerships.
