PHNOM PENH, April 27 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): China has allowed Cambodia to export fresh mangoes directly to its market after Chinese Customs on April 26 certified 37 mango plantations and five packaging factories as compliant with phytosanitary and packaging standards.

The approval came after experts from the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) in Guangxi province on March 10 virtually inspected mango plantations and steam treatments plants that sterilise crops and exterminate pests, specifically the fly larvae found in mangoes.
