Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Veng Sakhon said a Chinese company was keen on investing in buying fresh fruits from Cambodia to process and package for export to the Chinese market.
This comes following a Monday meeting held at the ministry between Sakhon and the company’s CEO Wang Bingnan to discuss investment plans in the Kingdom’s agricultural sector.
The ministry named the company as “Tian Tian” in a statement. But in a message to The Post, Sakhon later identified the company as the Shanghai-based Fruit Day E-Commerce Co Ltd.
The ministry reported Sakhon as saying that the investment is in line with the ministry’s agricultural development plan to strengthen domestic production and boost the national economy via the modernisation of agriculture, processing, packaging and export.
He added that Wang had previously visited the Kingdom to assess the quality of local mango, longan, jackfruit, durian, fragrant coconut and grapefruit products, confident that they would garner support and secure a strong market in China.
