Boost in profits for regional farmers

Cooperation helps Cambodian farm produce 100 tons more fruit per year

In Pailin, a province on the northern edge of the Cardamom Mountains in southwestern Cambodia, thousands of longan trees are in full blossom.

According to 63-year-old local longan farm owner Sar Cham Roeurn, this year will see another bumper harvest.

Sar has been growing longan since 1997. His family business has thrived in the past three decades thanks to the cooperation of Chongqing Jinguoyuan Industrial Co, a Chinese company focusing on fresh fruit trade.
