this is a view lacking in world reality i see no politics or cross border corruption or exchange rate rigging, for instance, in that.

judging by the patchy availability of their products, they may be able to sell more than they can produce and hence be open to imports
The further something needs to travel, the more expensive it will be. Transporting anything within Cambodia, or from Laos or Vietnam, will cost less than transporting from Indonesia, as long as all other variables stay the same (and there are many other variables). Just simple logistics and transport economics. That's all.
How do you know that their product has "patchy availability"? Their Facebook fan page? That screenshot? And why would you assume that "patchy availability" equals more demand than supply? There are many other possibilities one could assume. "Able to sell more than they can produce" is an illogical statement. If they can't produce more, how can they sell more? Only scammers do that.
They aren't "open to imports". They wish to export to Cambodia. Is this where your errors in logic begin? Maybe you should re-read the OP. (Edit: this point should be first. I realised this after I wrote all the other stuff. But I'm so infrequently this lucid that I don't want to delete it. Note to self: never ever argue/debate with a sociopath, dumbshit!)
I never mentioned anything about politics, corruption, or currency rigging in my very short, simple post. You seem to make some very large assumptions, about many things, with very little information. Good luck with that, especially here in SEA.
