The EU is reported to have criticised the Cambodian government\u2019s human rights record and has stated that it is reconsidering its Everything but Arms (EBA) programme for Cambodia. As a Least Developed Country (LDC) Cambodia benefits from the most favorable regime available under the EU&#8217;s Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP), the EBA scheme.<br \/>\nOther destinations for Cambodian garments and footwear include Canada, Japan, and China, whose increasing demands are expected to offset the potential impact of the EBA suspension.<br \/>\nIn 2017, the value of the sector\u2019s exports increased +9.5% in value over 2016, to US$8.02 million, and about 10% in volume. The footwear segment is said to have continued to grow in importance in the year, up +14.4% to US$873 million. The garment and footwear accounted for 72% of the country\u2019s total merchandise exports in 2017<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"maincontent\" class=\"eight columns positionleft\">\n<section class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"row featuredpages\">\n<div class=\"twelve  columns\">\n<div class=\"main_body\">\n<div class=\"main_body_inner\">\n<section id=\"maincontent\" class=\"eight columns positionleft\">\n<section class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"row featuredpages\">\n<div class=\"twelve  columns\">\n<div class=\"main_body\">\n<div class=\"main_body_inner\">\nReference: https:\/\/internationalleathermaker.com\/news\/fullstory.php\/aid\/5779\/Cambodia_92s_garment_and_footwear_exports_up__11_25.html<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), the increase in the first six months&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-3","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flaxa.org.bd\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
