Cambodia's population has reportedly increased by nearly two million over the past decade to reach 13.4 million.
The figures were compiled from the Government's provisional census data collected in February.
Cambodia's first census, which was held in 1962, had put the population then at 5.7 million.
The next census was not until 36 years later.
The country's annual population growth rate during the last decade averaged 1.54 per cent, higher than the average growth rate of 1.3 percent for southeast Asia.
