In 2010, the Cambodian government announced an export target of 1.0 million tons of milled rice by 2015. This analysis, which updates reports prepared in 2009 and 2011, seeks to identify short-term policy measures that can assist Cambodian exporters in boosting exports in the near term. This report examines new and expected investments in the larger rice mills and polishing factories, export trends, recent changes in milling costs, and provides a look at logistical costs and some alternatives. Additionally, import trends are examined in two current markets - the European Union (EU) and Russia, and in three other key markets - Indonesia, the Philippines, and China. Finally, an analysis is provided of the current Thai rice policy which impacts on local prices and investment interests by Thai rice exporters.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGORICE PRICESAGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVESPROFIT MARGINSMILLSFARMERSALESRICE PRICETRANSPORTATION COSTSWINERUBBERTRENDFOOD QUALITYRICE HUSKSPLANTINGAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSRICE CROPTOLLPRODUCTION GAINSTRAFFICPRICETAXROUTESCULTIVARSRICE TRADELOCAL TRANSPORTLOCAL TRANSPORTATIONPLANSDIESEL ENGINESROADCOSTSCOMMERCIAL BANKQUALITY SEEDTRANSPORTSTRANSPORTLOGISTICSRICE MILLINGCONTAINERSRICE MILLINGMARKETSSEEDPADDYTRUEBY-PRODUCTSFARMERSCAPITAL INVESTMENTSROUTEFUEL CONSUMPTIONCONSUMER DEMANDFUEL COSTSCROPSFREIGHT COSTSINFRASTRUCTUREBRANPRODUCEPROFIT MARGINRICE BRANDRIVINGFOOD SECURITYTRAVELTRANSPORTATIONINSPECTIONTRANSITCROPPOLICIESTRANSPARENCYBORDER CROSSINGAGRIBUSINESSTRUCKSMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONPOLICECOMPETITIVENESSLAND TRANSPORTANIMAL FEEDREPORTSCANADAPOPULATION DENSITYCROPPINGAGRICULTUREFAODRY SEASONPERICARPRICE PRODUCTIONSIGNALSGABONINDICAMARKETBAGGINGFOODCROP LOSSESHARVESTINGGRAIN QUALITYPORT INFRASTRUCTURERICE PRICEBRIDGEIRRIPORT FACILITIESFISHERIESCROSSINGRAILROADPRICE DIFFERENTIALCORNFARMMILLING EQUIPMENTRAILROADSFARMSTRANSIT CORRIDORFUELCOMPETITIVE PRICESPACKINGTRIPMILLING INDUSTRYCOOPERATIVESINNOVATIONINVESTMENTSRICEYIELDSTRANSPORT COSTSSTARCHRICE MILLSTAPIOCAROAD TRANSPORTDIESELFOODSGRAINPRIVATE MILLSFUEL COSTFREIGHTPRICESPRODUCTION COSTSBOTTLENECKSCOMPETITIONHARVESTSPRICE DIFFERENTIALSReportWorld Bank10.1596/22533
