> Cambodia shipped 280,450 tonnes of milled rice in January-June 2021, worth $202.67 million and down 23.71% year on year. The Cambodia Rice Federation cited freight costs, container shortages, falling jasmine rice prices and Covid-19 as obstacles to its 800,000-tonne export target.

## Why it matters

Weaker Cambodian export volumes and high freight costs point to limited export supply from a small origin, with little direct effect on feed-grade pricing.
