The first shipment of Cambodian mangoes to China was launched at the Hongtai Cold Chain Company in Phnom Penh, marking the start of direct exports of fresh fruits from Cambodia to China, following bananas. The move is seen as a significant achievement in China-Cambodia agricultural cooperation, with both countries planning to also export longan, dragon fruit, pepper, bird's nest, and coconut. The process involves quarantine heat treatment and sterilization to ensure pest-free mangoes, and the initiative is expected to increase the income of Cambodian agricultural workers, improve livelihoods, and develop the country's cold chain logistics industry and ports.
