Cambodia

Cambodia exports of garments grew 12 percent in the first half of 2007 and Cambodia ranks as the fifth largest garment exporter in the world according to People’s Daily Online.

Nonetheless, Cambodia has much room for improvement. In other words, Cambodia exports per container cost between up to $800 and takes three days to clear legal procedures. Vietnam on the other hand, exports a container for about $300 and only takes a day to clear legal procedures.

According to the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (GMAC), the Cambodia garment industry hold over 330,000 jobs and provides livelihood for at least 1.7 million Cambodia people.
