Promote international freight forwarding in general and bring local freight forwarding activities towards international standards.
The economy of Cambodia is rising fast since several years now. In this context of growth, import and export has taken a huge importance. As a result, the freight forwarding industry becomes crucial.
We strongly believe that the development of the country is also a result of a good collaboration between private and public sector as well as a good co-operation among private companies.
In that case, CAMFFA takes an active role in the dialogue with authorities and promotes close cooperation among its members.
CAMFFA also tries to improve the standards of doing business in Cambodia by participating in several studies and workshops with international institutions such as ADB, The World Bank, FIATA, UNESCAP, AFFA, a.o.
A strong economy needs high quality of human resources. In Cambodia, CAMFFA organizes regular training on logistics and multimodal transport operations. A well-trained workforce will improve the quality of Cambodian standards and represents a chance for young professionals to develop their skills and capacity.
In 2011, CAMFFA has 24 members, a mix of international companies and Cambodian companies. (See our membership page)
CAMFFA has built a good cooperation with the Royal Government of Cambodia and we participate in various the Government-Private Sector working groups such as the Working Group on Ernergy, Infrastructure and Transport, the Working group on Trade Facilitation and the Custom-Private Sector mechanism.
