Kâmpôt

Kâmpôt

      town, southern Cambodia. Kâmpôt is located near the mouth of the Koh Sla River. In the 19th century it was the country's chief port, but this function was taken over in the 1950s by Kâmpóng Saôm. It is connected to Phnom Penh, the national capital, and to Kâmpóng Saôm (Sihanoukville) by a national highway route and a rail line. The town contains a textile mill.

      The major agricultural products of the surrounding area include rice, pepper, bananas, coconuts, and durians. Mountainous areas in the region have a dense forest cover, including such first-quality woods as rosewood and teak, and berry, bean, and rubber trees. The area also supplies most of Cambodia's salt needs from state-owned salt marshes along the Gulf of Thailand coast. Pop. (1998) 36,036.
