PHNOM PENH, May 5, 2026 (KPT) — Cambodia is encouraging local businesses to take part in major international food and seafood exhibitions in China and India to expand export opportunities and strengthen global trade links, officials said Monday.

The Ministry of Commerce said traders, producers and investors are invited to join SIAL China 2026 in Shanghai from May 18–20 and the Seafood Expo Bharat 2026 in Chennai from July 1–3.

SIAL China, one of the world’s largest food and beverage fairs, is expected to draw around 5,000 exhibitors from 75 countries and some 170,000 visitors, offering Cambodian firms a platform to showcase products, track market trends and build partnerships.
