Cambodian mango exports to EU to double
“Next year, they asked us to export more than 500 tonnes and we hope we can do it,” Mr Riththy said, citing concerns over quality, standards and food safety.
“We have a lot of mangoes but we need to improve our packaging and ensure quality is maintained after harvesting,” he said.
For 2016-2017, Cambodia exported 250 tonnes to the EU, the company said. With a new agreement for 2017-2018, a factory for standard packaging of mangoes will be built in Kampong Speu province, he said. Besides increasing mango exports, Cambodia has also been asked to export durian and rambutan to the EU.
