Consumers increasingly opting for local products
The recent clash between Cambodia and Thailand has contributed to a rise in nationalist sentiment among Cambodian consumers, encouraging a growing preference for locally produced products. Although Thai brands continue to dominate the staple foods market, this increasing shift toward homegrown alternatives signals a significant change in consumer behaviour, driven by a desire to support local economies and preserve cultural identity.
