Did you know that in just thirty days, Cambodia shipped nearly one point four billion dollars worth of goods to the global market? We are talking about the GFT sector—Garments, Footwear, and Travel goods. New data for January 2026 confirms that this industry isn’t just a part of the economy; it is its primary engine.
According to the latest reports, GFT exports saw a seven point two percent jump compared to the same time last year. Despite global economic shifts, Cambodia’s manufacturing resilience is on full display. Let’s look at the heavy hitters: Garments alone brought in over one billion dollars in January, while Footwear exports surged by an impressive sixteen point eight percent.
But why does this matter to the average person? Because the GFT sector accounts for nearly half of Cambodia’s total export revenue. It’s the nation’s largest foreign currency earner, and it supports a massive network of over fifteen hundred factories nationwide. But the most important number isn’t the dollars—it’s the people.
