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.
Cambodia Fibre Crop Production was 3.97 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, up 2.4% on 2023. Cambodia’s fibre crop production indicator measures the annual agricultural production of crops cultivated for natural fibre extraction and industrial applications. The indicator includes crops such as cotton, jute, and other plant-based fibres used in textiles, handicrafts, ropes, and other fibre-related industries.
Cambodia Fibre Crop Production moved from 3.72 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 3.97 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+7%), an average of +0.8% a year. The series high was 3.97 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 and the low 3.72 Thousand Tonnes in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2015) is 0.259 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +2.4% in 2024.
Among the 17 countries in this dataset, Cambodia ranks 8 for 2024, behind Brazil (102.6 Thousand Tonnes) and Vietnam (96.42 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0.6% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
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.
The indicator includes the production volume of agricultural fibre crops grown for commercial, industrial, and domestic fibre extraction purposes. It covers harvested quantities of natural fibre crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, kenaf, and other similar crops classified under fibre crop production. The data includes production from both large-scale commercial farming and smallholder agricultural systems, capturing annual output changes, cultivation patterns, and regional variations in fibre crop supply.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres derived from petrochemical or industrial processes, processed textile products, yarns, fabrics, and other manufactured fibre-based goods. It does not include fibre crops grown solely for non-fibre purposes, agricultural residues, waste materials, or secondary fibre recovery from recycled sources. The data also excludes downstream processing activities such as spinning, weaving, textile manufacturing, and trade activities, focusing only on primary agricultural production of fibre crops.

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.
