Once Cambodian longans are given the green light to enter China, their export value is expected to hit $200 million per year.
The Chinese General Administration of Customs concluded a virtual risk assessment on the longan fruit, showing the acceptable result which is paving the way for the export of longan to China. The trials on the risk assessment were made from January 4 to 6. The Chinese General Administration of Customs assessed the Cambodia’s longan virtually, with officials from the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia inspecting them at the sites.
Three longan farms in Battambang and Palin provinces and two packaging factories in Kampong Speu and Palin provinces were inspected and assessed. “The assessment makes a successful and expected result,” the Chinese Embassy noted on a Facebook’s post on Monday. The delegation also inspected the laboratory centre of the Sanitary and Phytosanitary and quality Control Center at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
