Cambodia to enhance garment exports to EU

With the help of an agreement, Cambodia will drive its garment exports to the European Union (EU). The other goals of the new agreement are to accelerate efforts to make the garment sector more competitive with more value added activities, allow Cambodian firms to become co-contractor partners with European customers and not just simple sub-contractors, prioritise investment by European firms in Cambodia and improve the operating conditions of the country's textile and garment industry and restore its image on the international front.

Professional training, notably in fashion marketing, management and creation and development, is a key focus of the agreement. Another is cross-promotional initiatives with Cambodian garment firms taking part in European trade fairs. Cambodia’s economy is dependent on the garment industry, which employs half a million workers and accounts for almost all of the nation’s exports. All products from Cambodia (except arms) enjoy duty-free and quota-free access to the EU. The majority of Cambodia's exports to the European Union, over 89 per cent, are textiles such as garments and shoes.
