Promoting Local Products at the Community Level
The Ministry of Commerce has brought its ‘National Product Campaign #MadeInCambodia’ to life in Kandal Province, turning the riverside park in Ta Khmau city into a vibrant space for showcasing locally made goods. The initiative is designed to encourage both retail and wholesale support for Cambodian products, giving farmers, producers, and small businesses a stronger platform to reach consumers. By creating a direct connection between local producers and buyers, the campaign highlights the value of choosing homegrown products while strengthening domestic trade.
Strong Participation Across Sectors
The event was led by Tor Pila and Khon Sereiratha, drawing wide participation from government representatives, local authorities, traders, business owners, and handicraft producers. Supermarkets, malls, and mini marts also played a key role, reflecting a coordinated effort across both public and private sectors. This broad involvement shows a growing commitment to supporting Cambodian products and ensuring they gain visibility in everyday marketplaces.
