- Cambodia will exempt Value-Added Tax (VAT) on locally produced basic foods from January 1, 2026, to the end of 2028.
- The exemption covers items like meat, eggs, freshwater fish, crab, shrimp, sugar, salt, and sauces, but not restaurant supplies.

- Producers, farmers, and entrepreneurs are expected to benefit, with hopes for more stable market prices and business assurance.
- Industry leaders urge further government support, such as lowering electricity and transportation costs and protecting local production from imports.
