Share of world production, 2024. Countries with no reported production are unshaded.
Cambodia's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Cambodia's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Cambodia dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Cambodia's own $4.3 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Rice alone is 44% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Cambodia compares with other countries.

Largest domestic supplies of tracked commodities in Cambodia, 2023
FAO reports a negative domestic supply for Cambodia's honey (−2 thousand tonnes; production 0 tonnes, imports 0 tonnes, exports 2 thousand tonnes); cocoa (−3 thousand tonnes; production 0 tonnes, imports 1 thousand tonnes, exports 4 thousand tonnes), meaning exports exceed production plus imports in the year. These are not counted as use and are left out of the table above.
