The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has called for increased
private sector investment in longan processing for export, as the Kingdom
seeks to negotiate market access with phytosanitary authorities in a number of
countries. The move intends to broaden markets for local longan growers
struggling to sell their produce to traders, processors and exporters, which
are significantly bogged down by plant-protection barriers and a raft of other
obstacles posed by the pandemic.
Longan ? also known by the botanical name Dimocarpus longan ? is a tropical
evergreen tree species native to Asia that produces edible fruit of the
soapberry family, which also includes lychees and rambutan.
According to Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Veng Sakhon, in
Cambodia the fruit, branded as “Pailin longan”, is mostly grown in the
provinces of Pailin and Battambang, and in parts of Preah Vihear province.
The ministry said in a letter on August 20 that Pailin longan are a restricted
commodity subject to phytosanitary barriers. This, it said, requires Cambodian
phytosanitary authorities to negotiate deals in advance for market access with
counterparts in other countries, who must assess biosecurity risks posed by
pests associated with the fruit.
In this context, building and maintaining the infrastructure for cleaning,
disinfecting and packaging, and ensuring compliance with agreed phytosanitary
requirements is an important technical task in the negotiation, inspection and
evaluation phases, and even after exports begin, it noted.
The ministry called on the private sector, the agricultural community, relevant
institutions and the public to join its drive to stimulate fresh longan exports,
by investing in the necessary infrastructure and expand existing facilities, so
that more fruit can be bought to process for export to the countries with
which the Kingdom signs new phytosanitary requirements protocols and keep
pace with demand. Earlier this month, Cambodia and Vietnam agreed on
phytosanitary requirements permitting Cambodian longan to enter the
Vietnamese market, according to the ministry.
Minister Sakhon said in an interview with National Television of Cambodia
(TVK) on August 20 that the government needed about $49 million to buy
Pailin longan from farmers banned by Thailand from exporting.
“According to estimates for direct purchases from plantation owners, Pailin
longan this year will have an average price of 1,800 riel [$0.44] per kg, so
we’ll need about $49 million to buy them all of the farmers’ output. The
expected yield of longan is about 110,000 tonnes this year,” he said.
