Cambodia is a developing agricultural country, with strengths in tropical fruits such as mango, banana, durian, longan and jackfruit. However, one of the biggest challenges facing the Cambodian agricultural sector is post-harvest preservation. In this context, cold storage for fruit preservation has become a key solution to help increase the value of agricultural products, minimize losses and open the door to export for Cambodian fruits.
Kim Ngoc Dang is a leading unit in designing and installing cold storage for fruit preservation in Cambodia.
1. General context
Cambodia has a tropical climate, favorable for growing fruits such as mango, durian, banana, longan, jackfruit, etc.
However, post-harvest losses are still high due to the lack of an effective preservation system.
2. The role of cold storage
Extending the shelf life of fruits (from a few days to a few weeks/month).
Maintain freshness, color, flavor and nutritional value.
Minimize loss, increase commercial value.
Meet quality standards when exporting.
3. Cold storage structure
Insulation material: PU or EPS panel.
Cooling system: using refrigerant gas such as R134a, R404a.
Temperature preservation: ranges from 0°C to 15°C depending on the type of fruit.
Accompanying technology: temperature and humidity sensors, automatic control system, management software.
4. Main deployment areas
Agricultural production areas: Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kratie.
Areas near export centers: Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville.
5. Socio-economic benefits
Reduce post-harvest loss (30–40%).
Increase income for farmers and businesses.
Create more jobs in operations and logistics.
Contribute to improving the position of Cambodian fruits in the international market.
6. Current challenges
The cost of investing in building cold storage is still high.
Lack of technical human resources and operational knowledge.
Limitations in transportation and logistics infrastructure in remote areas.
7. Opportunities and trends
Cambodia is being supported by international organizations and private enterprises.
The demand for cold storage is increasing as fruit is being exported to China, Korea, Japan and the EU.
The trend of applying 4.0 technology to cold storage management and supervision.
