Rice Export Guarantee Scheme (REGS)
Rice Export Guarantee Scheme (REGS) aims to accommodate financing needs and address the challenges of rice exporters and millers facing a lack of collateral to pledge loans to financial institutions, especially during the harvest season.
The 1st Tranch of REGS was launched in May 2024, with a total scheme size of USD 30 Million to support working capital loans for rice millers/rice exporter to produce rice for exports. This scheme is in line with the aspirations of the Royal Government of Cambodia to export 1 Million ton of rice by 2025.
