Vietnam and Cambodia Advance Agricultural Trade Cooperation at An Giang Forum
Vietnam and Cambodia enhance agricultural and processed food trade links at the An Giang connectivity fair, supporting a $20 billion bilateral trade goal.
Cross-Border Trade Connectivity in An Giang
The Vietnam-Cambodia Trade Connectivity Forum and Fair took place in An Giang province from November 12 to November 14, 2026. Organizers and participating delegations focused directly on expanding cross-border commerce, with a strong emphasis on the agricultural and processed food sectors.
An Giang province shares direct transit corridors with Cambodia and is actively expanding economic partnerships with three adjacent Cambodian provinces: Kandal, Takeo, and Kampot. The multi-day event served as a bilateral platform for commercial enterprises, local authorities, and trade promotion bodies to build trade links and explore supply chain arrangements across the border.
Bilateral Trade Performance and the 2030 Horizon
The trade fair and forum in An Giang are positioned to support broader economic milestones established between Vietnam and Cambodia. Total bilateral trade reached $8.67 billion during the first eight months of 2026, representing an 8.3% increase compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Trade officials have oriented these bilateral initiatives toward an overarching objective: achieving $20 billion in total bilateral trade turnover by 2030. Expanding commercial channels for agricultural goods and processed food items is viewed as an integral mechanism to maintain trade momentum and achieve this long-term target.
Regional Gateway Volumes Across Border Gates
Local cross-border infrastructure plays a critical role in facilitating agricultural and commercial exchange between Vietnam and Cambodia. Import and export turnover recorded through border gates connecting An Giang with Kandal, Takeo, and Kampot reached approximately $1.127 billion during the first nine months of 2026.
The volume passing through these specific gates underscores the role of provincial border points in maintaining steady merchandise transit between the neighboring markets. The continued cooperation between An Giang and its neighboring Cambodian provinces reflects an ongoing push to optimize clearance and trade flows for regional goods.
