Kirirom Food Production: Unlocking Potential 

Cambodia’s leading mango producer is targeting growth through product innovation.  

Kirirom Food Production is redefining the value of Cambodian mangoes. The company is significantly expanding capacity, from 6,000 to 10,000 tons, with a further 5,000 planned by 2027. “My growth strategy is to scale production by making full use of Cambodia’s abundant raw materials and high mango yields,” says Managing Director Chhorn Dalis. “I plan to invest in technology and develop more value-added products.” In fact, product innovation and diversification may be key to unlocking growth, as opportunities emerge to exploit new markets in mango skins and seeds, which are typically discarded. From gluten-free flour to seed oil, animal feed, and soil-enriching ‘biochar’, the company sees major downstream potential. “There is much more that can be done,” says Dalis. “We are ready to work with partners who can bring new technology.”
