Vietnam, as the largest importer of Cambodian agricultural products, plays a key role in shaping the demand and development directions of Cambodia's agriculture. The focus is on commodity groups such as rubber, cashews, and rice, which constitute a significant share of bilateral trade. It is noted that Cambodia, by supplying raw materials to Vietnam, loses a substantial part of the added value, which enhances its dependence on the Vietnamese market. At the same time, Vietnam, by using Cambodian raw materials for processing and export, strengthens its position in the global market. It is emphasized that despite the mutually beneficial nature of cooperation, Cambodia risks becoming a raw material appendage of Vietnam, which makes its economy vulnerable to changes in Vietnamese agricultural policy. The author concludes that the further development of agricultural cooperation between the two countries requires a balance between Vietnam's interests and the necessity of strengthening processing capacities in Cambodia to reduce dependence on raw material exports.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена анализу динамики и структуры торговли сельскохозяйственной продукцией между Вьетнамом и Камбоджей, которая за последние десятилетия превратилась в важный элемент экономического взаимодействия двух стран. Вьетнам, являясь крупнейшим импортером камбоджийской аграрной продукции, играет ключевую роль в формировании спроса и направлений развития сельского хозяйства Камбоджи. Основное внимание уделено таким товарным группам, как каучук, кешью и рис, которые составляют значительную долю в двустороннем товарообороте. Отмечается, что Камбоджа, поставляя сырье во Вьетнам, теряет значительную часть добавленной стоимости, что усиливает ее зависимость от вьетнамского рынка. В то же время Вьетнам, используя камбоджийское сырье для переработки и экспорта, укрепляет свои позиции на мировом рынке. Подчёркивается, что, несмотря на взаимовыгодный характер сотрудничества, Камбоджа рискует превратиться в сырьевой придаток Вьетнама, что делает её экономику уязвимой к изменениям вьетнамской аграрной политики. Автор приходит к выводу, что дальнейшее развитие аграрного сотрудничества между двумя странами требует баланса между интересами Вьетнама и необходимостью укрепления перерабатывающих мощностей в Камбодже для снижения зависимости от экспорта сырья.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Cambodia</kwd><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>trade cooperation</kwd><kwd>international trade</kwd><kwd>agricultural products</kwd><kwd>agricultural sector</kwd><kwd>investment</kwd><kwd>agro-industrial complex</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Камбоджа</kwd><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>торговое сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>международная торговля</kwd><kwd>аграрная продукция</kwd><kwd>аграрный сектор</kwd><kwd>инвестиции</kwd><kwd>АПК</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">ASEANSTATS.
