Economic land concessions
Revoked
The concession has been cancelled with or without a history of reductions in size.
Downsized After Revocation
The Concession Has Been Subjected To Reduction(S) In Size Although It Had Been Cancelled Previously. Publicly Available Information On Land Area Cut From ELCs Does Not Include Maps Or Spatial Data Of Excisions. Thus, ODC Cannot Present Land Area Cut In Shapes. As A Result, ELC Projects That Are Visualized On The Interactive Map Represent The Original Contract Size.
Downsized
The concession has been subjected to additional reductions in size and has not been cancelled previously. Publicly available information on land area cut from ELCS does not include maps or spatial data of excisions. Thus, ODC cannot present land area cut in shapes. As a result, ELC projects that are visualized on the interactive map represent the original contract size.
No Evidence of Adjustments
ODC is not aware of any adjustments to the concession since it was first granted.
Economic land concessions (ELCs)
This dataset contains a list of ELCs in Cambodia with contract dates starting from 1996 to 2014. The list was updated in November 2017 to included adjustments to ELCs contracts as a result of the Directive 01, starting in 2012, such as land cuts and cancellation of licenses. Due to the lack of publicly available information, this dataset does not include information on reductions of contract durations as a result of the ELCs evaluation process in 2015. The data will be updated from variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports. Geographic data is encoded in the WGS 84, Zone 48 North coordinate reference system.

Disclaimer: This dataset contains data for ELCs in Cambodia with known contract dates starting from 1996 to 2012. The list was updated in November 2017 to include adjustments to ELCs as a result of the Order 01, starting in 2012, such as land cuts and cancellations of licenses. Due to the lack of publicly available information, this dataset does not include information on reductions of contract durations as a result of the evaluation process in 2015.
Open Development Cambodia endeavors to keep all company and investment data up to date and accurate; however, this information is constantly changing, and ODC cannot guarantee that the data reflects the actual company and investment situation. Some companies have abandoned ELCs or left them inactive, and some ELCs have been cancelled or resized. There are also projects that have been approved but that are not included here because ODC does not have access to reliable data. We recommend that site users make the effort to verify any data they take from ODC. Please inform us if you identify any mistakes or omissions.
Note: Publicly available information on land area cut from ELCs does not include maps or spatial data demarcating the excisions. Thus, ODC cannot present the reductions in land area as shapes. As a result, the ELC projects that are visualized on the interactive map represent the original sizes.
