The Chup Rubber Plantation in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. According to the Khymer Times, "Cambodia exported 282,071 tons of dry rubber in 2019...The Southeast Asian nation made a gross revenue of roughly 377 million U.S. dollars from exports of the commodity last year [2019]." Exports are mainly to countries such as China, Singapore and Malaysia. Large swathes of Cambodia's natural forests have been cleared to make way for plantations that generate large revenues for the government. There is only 3% of original primary forests left in the country due to the nation having one of the fastest rates of deforestation in the world, mainly due to land conversion to plantations.
