In 2024, staple foods maintained a solid performance from the previous year with busy lifestyles and growth in tourism boosting demand. Moreover, positive economic growth in Cambodia has significantly fuelled demand for packaged food as it has increased consumer spending power and led to higher consumption of a wider range of products.
Positive economic growth in Cambodia, estimated at 5.8% in 2024 and projected to reach 6.
There are three main meals eaten per day in Cambodia: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, many rural workers will not eat a full breakfast and will instead snack on fruit before having an early lunch.
In Cambodia, urban middle-class consumers, with increasing disposable incomes, prioritise convenience, variety, and health-conscious choices, often opting for packaged ingredients, dining out frequently, and the exploration of international cuisines. In contrast, the rural population, more focused on home-cooked meals, values fresh, locally sourced ingredients and remains price-conscious, with a primary emphasis on staples, such as rice.
In recent years, Cambodia has made significant strides in logistics and infrastructure, greatly improving the distribution of various products, including food stuff. These improvements have enhanced the accessibility and availability of the product solutions nationwide, allowing consumers to more easily obtain the products they need.
Over the forecast period, sales of staple foods in Cambodia are likely to continue to evolve and adapt to changing consumer preferences and market conditions. One potential area of growth is in the production of organic and speciality rice varieties.
