The Funan Techo Canal will offer a reliable and efficient transportation route, leading to the enhancement of trade and promotion of regional connectivity. The operation of this projects is estimated to substantially generate 88 million USD for the Cambodian government revenue growth in its first year and reach 570 million USD annually by 2050.
