the practical cooperation in agriculture has promoted the development of cambodia-china friendly relations which have also provided good development space for their agricultural cooperation, a cambodian minister said. 

phnom penh, oct. 28 (xinhua) -- cambodia on thursday launched longan exportation to china, marking another fruitful cooperation in the agricultural sector between the two countries.

cambodian minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries dith tina and chinese ambassador to cambodia wang wentian attended the launching ceremony here.

speaking at the event, tina said practical cooperation in agriculture has promoted the development of cambodia-china friendly relations, and friendly relations between the two countries have also provided good development space for their agricultural cooperation.

"from 2019 to the end of june 2022, cambodia exported a total of 2.4 million tons of agricultural products to china, with a total export value of 1.942 billion u.s. dollars," he said.

the minister said china has been the largest export market for cambodian rice for several years, and since 2019, cambodia has been approved to export bananas, mangoes, basa fish, corn and longan to china one after another.

"at present, the two sides are speeding up the export of cambodian pepper, wild aquatic products, edible aquatic animals, bird's nest, coconuts, etc. to china," he said.

it is believed that more cambodian agricultural products will be allowed to be exported to china in the future for the benefit of the two peoples, tina said.
