Sokimex, a supplier of premium cooking and burning fuel in Cambodia, has said it will halt sales of liquefied petroleum gas starting next month due to supply disruptions.
The firm announced late Sunday that it would “temporarily suspend the supply of LPG effective from April 1.”
Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the company said it had been “unable to import LPG since the beginning of March 2026 and therefore cannot continue supplying LPG to customers according to market demand.”

Sokimex Investment Group’s energy division supplies gasoline, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas to the public and private sectors, and includes more than 500 service stations across the country, according to its website.
Cambodian Energy Minister Keo Rottanak said in a video released on Monday that Sokimex contributed only about 3% of LPG to the Cambodian market, and told the public “not to worry” as six other companies were still supplying LPG in the country.
He also urged people to turn to electric rice cookers and stovetops to conserve LPG, adding that the government was working to find new sources of supply.
