Fibre Crop Production — Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within a country or region over a specified period, reported in tonnes or metric tons. It includes major fibre-producing crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and other plant-based fibres, with production statistics reflecting agricultural cultivation, harvesting, and output levels. The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
It reflects Cambodia’s agricultural output, rural cultivation activities, and contribution to natural fibre availability.
From 2015 to 2024, Cambodia’s fibre crop production remained relatively stable with gradual changes driven by agricultural practices, market conditions, climatic factors, and changes in farming systems. Fibre crops represent an important connection between agricultural production and rural economic activities, supporting smallholder farmers and providing raw materials for fibre-based industries.
The indicator includes production volumes from harvested fibre crops cultivated for commercial, industrial, and domestic extraction purposes. It covers output from both organized agricultural production and small-scale farming systems. The data captures yearly production changes, cultivation patterns, and regional variations in fibre crop supply.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres, processed textile goods, yarns, fabrics, and manufactured fibre products. It does not include recycled fibre materials, agricultural residues, or fibre materials recovered from waste sources. Post-harvest industrial activities such as fibre processing, textile manufacturing, spinning, and weaving are also excluded.
This macro indicator provides insights into Cambodia’s agricultural fibre production capacity and helps analyze the country’s contribution to renewable fibre resources. It supports evaluation of production trends, agricultural sustainability, and the role of fibre crops within Cambodia’s broader agricultural economy and industrial supply chains.
