Cambodia’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, with rice as the main crop, alongside forestry, fishing, and garment manufacturing. Tourism is another key revenue source. However, the country faces significant challenges, including poor infrastructure, outdated farming techniques, a lack of skilled labor, widespread poverty and disease, and environmental issues such as deforestation, illegal logging, and overfishing.
