Cambodia Kampot-Kep Salt: A Premium Salt from Cambodia’s Coastal Region

Kampot-Kep Salt, harvested in the Kampot and Kep provinces of southern Cambodia, is famous for its high mineral content and distinctive, clean taste. The salt is produced through traditional methods, where seawater is evaporated under the hot sun in salt ponds along the coast. The unique combination of tropical climate, clean seawater, and hand-harvesting techniques contributes to the premium quality of Kampot-Kep Salt, which has made it a sought-after product both locally and internationally.

In 2023, it received the Geographical Indication (GI) certificate in Cambodia from the Ministry of Commerce, ensuring that only salt produced in these regions can be marketed as Kampot-Kep Salt. The salt industry provides income for local farmers, with over 200 families involved in production.

Kampot-Kep Salt has become a symbol of Cambodia’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and authentic, high-quality products.
