[PHNOM PENH POST]
FREIGHT shipments through Phnom Penh Autonomous Port increased 31
percent for the first seven months of the year, compared with the same
period in 2010. The port handled 43,859 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs)
from January to June this year, from 33,364 TEUs in the same period
2010. The increase came through increased imports and exports of
agricultural products, textiles and raw materials for the garment
industry, and construction materials, said port Director General Hei
Bavy. “With the government policy pushing for rice exports, we see that
increased agricultural production this year has led to growth in
shipments through the port,” he said.
