Longan exports to mainland China for the main 2023-2024 harvest season are expected to increase five-fold year-on-year. Recent reports suggest a total of 5,400 tons plus for about five of the previous season’s nine months.
On October 27, 2022, longan became the third Cambodian fruit to be formally exported directly to China in fresh form, after bananas and mangoes. The most well-known variety locally is the Pailin longan, named after Cambodia’s second-smallest province by area, which borders Chanthaburi and Trat in Thailand.
