The exports generated approximately US$453.3 million, although this represents a 3.9 percent decrease year-on-year, the same source pointed out.

Domestic consumption of rubber latex, meanwhile, increased sharply by 117 percent to reach 99,118 tonnes between January and October, earning US$179 million from local sales.

Rubber plantations in Cambodia cover more than 420,000 hectares, of which 330,000 hectares, or approximately 77 percent, are old enough to be tapped.
