On May 7, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia held a launch ceremony for the export of fresh mangoes to China. The shipment of the first batch of mangoes was completed, marking the official start of Cambodian mango exports to China.
On April 26, the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China officially released the list of 37 registered orchards of Puzhai mango exported to China and 5 packaging factories, marking the completion of the last procedure of Cambodian mango export to China by both China and Cambodia.
It is reported that China and Cambodia have stipulated an annual export quota of 500,000 tons of mangoes in the protocol, but the processing capacity of the Cambodian packaging plant has not yet reached the demand. Yong Shakun, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia, said that Cambodia can export 100,000 tons of fresh mangoes to the Chinese market every year. Many packaging factories in Cambodia are undergoing upgrades to meet Chinese standards and gain recognition. By then, the number of factories and export volume will both usher in an increase.
