I. Maximizing FTA Benefits Digitally
A Tool for Every Trader
The Cambodia FTA Portal, which was funded by Australian Aid and the CAPRED program, is a digital platform built to simplify international trade. Its main goal is to help users easily find, understand, and get the maximum benefit from all Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) Cambodia is part of.
Through this user-friendly platform, everyone involved in trade—from small business owners to large importers and exporters—can:
- Get Clear Knowledge: Learn about all the FTAs Cambodia is a member of (like RCEP, Cambodia-China FTA, etc.).
- Understand Export Rules: Quickly grasp the specific requirements and procedures needed to export goods.
- Boost Cooperation: Promote trade and strengthen economic cooperation globally.
II. Enhancing Global Competitiveness
Minister Cham Nimul emphasized the national importance of the new portal.
“This platform represents a significant step towards increasing our nation’s global competitiveness and ensuring that all stakeholders, from small businesses to policymakers, have convenient, up-to-date access to vital trade information,” she said.
The Cambodia FTA Portal is a key step in helping local businesses successfully navigate the complex rules of international markets.
