Kingdom eyes longan exports to China
Pailin longan is expected to be the third Cambodian fruit to be officially exported directly to the
Chinese market after bananas and mangoes, according to Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries Veng Sakhon.
Longan ? also known by the botanical name Dimocarpus longan ? is a tropical evergreen tree
species native to Asia that produces edible fruit. And according to the minister, in Cambodia the
fruit is mostly grown in Pailin and Battambang provinces and parts of Preah Vihear province.
On May 7, the Kingdom shipped 100 tonnes of fresh Keo Romiet mangoes to China in its inaugural
direct export, nearly two years after the two countries signed a protocol on phytosanitary
requirements on June 9, 2019, which paved the way for the export of fresh batches of the fruit.
Cambodia's yellow banana sales to China have also increased rapidly since the first shipment of the
fruit was sent in mid-2019, not long after the East Asian country greenlit direct exports.
As the ministry's director-general for Agriculture Ngin Chhay previously told The Post, Chinese
authorities only consider a single product per country at a time to import.
Sakhon told The Post on May 11 that after the maiden shipment of fresh Cambodian mangoes, the
Kingdom will formally propose Pailin longan as the next fruit to export to China, so that Beijing can
determine eligibility for import.
Grown in provinces bordering Thailand, Pailin longan has huge potential for export, the minister said,
adding that Chinese approval would greatly boost Cambodia's economic growth and create new
jobs, in much the same way as with bananas and mangoes.
"After achieving mango exports, we also reiterated our request to the Chinese side to have a look
at Pailin longan," he said.
Cautious not to be overly persistent, Sakhon noted that the Chinese side has said it needs time to
examine phytosanitary conditions of fruits to be imported, especially when it comes to harmful
organisms that could pose health risks.
"So from now on, we will start shifting attention to the export of Pailin longan right away," he said.
According to the minister, Cambodia could earn an additional $200 million per year through official
direct exports of Pailin longan to China.
In late March, the Ministry of Commerce sent a letter to the agriculture ministry requesting it to oil
the wheels towards talks with the Chinese side on a protocol of phytosanitary requirements for the
export of fresh and processed Cambodian Pailin Longan to China.
This comes after producers and suppliers submitted a joint petition to the commerce ministry asking
the government to consider pushing for direct shipments of the fruit to China, citing shrinking
indirect exports through neighbouring countries ? due to Covid-19 restrictions ? that have driven
prices below productions costs, overwhelming farmers and traders with huge losses, according to the
letter.
"In these difficult circumstances, the Ministry of Commerce would like to cooperate with the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and urge the Chinese side to expedite negotiations on a
protocol and proposed documents by requesting intervention from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and International Cooperation and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Cambodia in China,” it read.
Unlike its commerce counterpart, the agriculture ministry does not have representatives at the
embassy, Sakhon noted, saying he requested commerce ministry representatives working at the
embassy to step up efforts to strengthen relations with the Chinese side and report back to the
