Cambodia Post looking to launch e-commerce platform

Cambodia Post is considering plans to launch an e-commerce platform in March, according to local sources. Ork Bora, director-general of Cambodia Post, was quoted by the Khmer Times as saying: “We plan to launch in the first quarter of the year – maybe in March. I have been conducting a study and working on online shopping for about a year so now we decided to launch an online shopping platform and any businesspeople can sell their products with us.

“You see that online shopping is getting popular with our people now. If you look at the number of internet users with the Telecom Regulator of Cambodia, there were some seven million. We will launch in March – just e-shopping.”

Cambodia Post already operates as an agent for Alibaba, delivering products to Cambodians who have bought on the Chinese company’s online marketplaces.
