Cambodia's Agricultural Reforms Drive Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction.
Cambodia's agricultural sector is vital for the country's growth and development, with 80% of the population relying on it. Despite a decrease in agriculture's share of GDP, production has actually increased significantly. The economy has seen consistent growth, with GDP per capita rising from USD 240 in 1993 to nearly USD 1,000 in 2012. The country's GDP and GNI have also seen substantial increases. Cambodia is on track to transition from a least developed country to a lower-middle income country by 2018. The growth has been mainly driven by exports in garment, textile, apparel, and footwear industries.
