Chinese Firm Targets Cambodia for Large-Scale Durian Cultivation and Processing Hub

Zhengzhou Chen’s Sun, a prominent Chinese company, has announced plans to invest in durian cultivation and processing facilities in Cambodia, aiming to enhance the country’s agricultural export capabilities. This ambitious project was a key focus during a meeting between PM Hun Manet and Xuemei Chen, Chairman of Zhengzhou Chen’s Sun, on 6 November 2024 in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China.

Ms. Xuemei Chen highlighted Cambodia’s potential as a leader in the fruit industry, particularly in durian, often dubbed the “king of fruits.” She detailed plans to develop large-scale cultivation and processing operations to meet demand in both domestic and international markets, with a strong emphasis on boosting exports to China and other countries. Ms. Chen’s vision aligns with Cambodia’s growing emphasis on agricultural innovation and export diversification.

Experts believe the project could create substantial job opportunities, improve household incomes, and uplift living standards for Cambodian communities. The initiative is expected to further cement Cambodia’s reputation as a competitive player in the global agricultural sector.

PM Hun Manet expressed strong support, emphasizing Cambodia’s readiness to welcome foreign investment in agriculture and encouraging the company to collaborate with local ministries and partners to achieve rapid progress.

This prospective collaboration could signal a transformative era for Cambodia’s agricultural sector, positioning the country as a major exporter in the international market.
