Cambodia exported $22 million worth of shoes in the first quarter of
2008, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), with
industry insiders predicting new foreign-owned companies to swell
local production. Tiger Wing Co., a Japanese-owned firm based in
Cambodia, plans to produce high-quality exports for the Japanese
market. “We plan to produce 50,000 pairs by the end of this year and
200,000 pairs once we’re in full production,” said Tiger Wing director
Sakamoto Naoyuki.
