Kratié (Khmer: ក្រចេះ, Krâchéh [krɑˈceh]), alternatively spelled Kracheh, is a province of Cambodia located in the northeast.

The area near Kratié along the Mekong River was one of the most densely populated regions of the pre-Angkorian era of Cambodia.

[3] During the Vietnam and Cambodian Civil Wars and the subsequent Vietnamese presence against Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, intense fighting took place in Kratié.

[4] Operation Menu, the 1969-1970 United States bombing campaign targeting Vietnamese supply routes and bases in Cambodia and Laos, resulted in heavy bombardment of Kratié.

[12] Craters from Operation Menu bombings during the Vietnam War, some of which are filled with water, are still visible in the countryside.

[16] Forests in Kratié tend to be open and less dense than elsewhere in Cambodia; they are generally made up of deciduous trees that lose their leaves during the dry season.

[19] Rice cropping plays an important role in the provincial economy Most Kratié residents are subsistence farmers or fishers.

[21] Thirty percent of Kratié households live on less than US$1 per day; the province's poverty rate of 32% is somewhat lower than the national average of 39%.

[23][24] Most soil in Kratié is poor; the province primarily grows perennial industrial crops like rubber.

[20] Kratié is one of the poorest provinces in Cambodia but, in 2015, was ranked fifth in the nation for the high-school exam pass rate.

These new teachers rarely stay more than a year or two due to the low pay, leaving local officials having to do without and students often having to continue studies by themselves.

[34] Kratié is home to seven indigenous groups: Bunong, Kouy, Mil, Khonh, Kraol, Steang, and Thamoun.
