The demand is obviously high- on Monday 3rd August 2020 when services resumed, Cambodia Post received 2,810kg of mail from 373 customers. “We expect our revenue to remain strong or register an upward spiral towards our $1 million per month ambition by virtue of the substantial Covid-19 era surge in online orders,” Bora said. Cambodia Post earned more than $2.65 million from January - June 2020. In 2019 it earned revenues of between $11-12 million (which was a decrease from $13.81 million revenue total in 2018).
