Indo-China Agriculture Fresh Fruit
We decided that having an integrated fruit farm with a variety of fruit was more important to the sustainability of the farm and jobs than having a mono-crop industrial farm susceptible to pests and disease without the use of chemical pesticides or chemical fertilisers.
OUR Fresh Fruits
From our farm to your door, we nurture our fruit every step of the journey by taking great care in selecting non-GMO naturally bred seeds from delicious varieties of fruit that are suitable to our growing conditions.
Our farming methods aim to produce the healthiest fruits. We have you, the customer, and our community in mind with everything we do.
Mangoes
Mango (Mangifera Indica) is a popular tropical fruit that is eaten in both sweet and savory dishes around the world. Mango is rich in pre-biotic dietary fiber, vitamins (A, B6, C and E), minerals (copper and potassium), and poly-phenolic flavonoid antioxidant compounds.
Besides eating fresh, mango is also enjoyed as an additive to salads, salsa, smoothies, and shakes. Mango is also pickled, dried, candied, or made into jellies, jams, ice cream, and chutney.
Mango is seasonal fruit from the tropics which grows especially well in the soils and climate of Cambodia. Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces Keo L’Meat, Keo Chen, and Australian mango varieties.
Jackfruit
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, weighing up to 100 pounds. Jackfruit can be eaten both raw and cooked and has become incredibly popular with vegetarians and vegans in both sweet and savory dishes and snacks.
Jackfruit is packed with nutrition, with high amounts of protein, fiber, vitamins (A, B, B6, and C), minerals (magnesium, potassium, and manganese), and phytonutrients (lignans, isoflavones, and saponins).
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces Thai cultivars for ripe consumption and processing.
Tangerines
Tangerines (Citrus reticulata) also known as Mandarin oranges, are smaller and less round than common oranges. Their taste is sweeter than an orange and it is easier to peel their skin.
Tangerines contain a significant amount of vitamin C followed by amounts of vitamins B1, B5, B6, and A as well as folate and beta-carotene.
During Chinese New Year, tangerines are considered traditional symbols of abundance and good fortune. During the two-week celebration, they are frequently displayed as decoration and presented as gifts to friends, relatives, and business associates.
Interesting fact: Tourists to Thailand who enjoy the fresh squeezed “orange juice” served by street vendors are actually drinking tangerine juice.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces large (citrus noblis) and small (citrus reticulate) varieties of tangerines.
Coconuts
Coconuts (Cocos nucifera) known as the ‘tree of life’ have been around for millions of years and play many roles in our daily life from food products to household items.
The milk, flesh, and oil of coconut have been used as a medicinal food for thousands of years. More recent medical studies have shown the benefits of coconut’s medium-chain triglycerides (MCT’s) and their role in fighting Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. grows its own coconut trees from seed to ensure the highest quality and consistent supply. We harvest our own coconuts for processing to utilize the whole nut and ensure nothing goes to waste.
Oranges
Orange (Citrus sinensis) Green skinned oranges in Cambodia come from the province of Pursat. These local oranges are well suited to the weather and soil of Cambodia. Their taste is very sweet with slight citric acid notes, which makes for a fresh breakfast treat or delicious juice.
The popularity of oranges can be seen by the growth of fresh orange fruit vendors on the streets of Phnom Penh.
Pursat oranges as with other oranges famously contain extremely high amounts of Vitamin C among other vitamins and minerals.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces sweet Pursat oranges for fresh consumption and juice making.
Longan
Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a small round brown/yellow colored fruit universally enjoyed by Asians and used in traditional Buddhist offerings.
The fruit is sweet with a very aromatic floral aroma similar to rambutan and litchi and is enjoyed fresh, dried, and canned. Longan contains an incredibly high amount of vitamin C as well as B2 and potassium.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces local Cambodian mien as well as the Thai “Yu Huot” variety for fresh consumption, drying, and processing.
Rambutan
Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is native to South East Asia and is a very distinctive red colored fruit with characteristic hairy greenish-red spines.
It has a wonderfully sweet and creamy taste with a slight refreshing hint of sour from citric acid and a lovely floral aroma.
Rambutan is a good source of vitamin B3, C, manganese, calcium, and phosphorus.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. produces this lovely fruit for fresh consumption, drying and processing.
Avocados
Avocado (Persea Americana) is well known as a “Super Food” because this fruit is packed rich with Vitamins B5, B6, Bg, B3, B2, B1, K, E, and Vitamin C, as well as antioxidant, phytosterols, and carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin which are vital for eye health and reducing cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammation.
Technically a berry, Avocados are high in potassium (even higher than bananas), which is important because studies have shown high potassium intake is linked to reduced blood pressure, reduced risk for heart attacks, and lowers risk of stroke.
We chose to produce a derivative cultivar of the “Fuerte” for its suitability to our climate and soil, and we supply the restaurant industry as well as local markets for community consumption.
Areca Nuts
Areca Nut also known as “betel nut”, is the seed of the areca palm (Areca catechu). Areca nuts are chewed with betel leaf known as “piper betle” (Piperaceae) for their effects as a mild stimulant, breath freshener, and aphrodisiac. Betel leaf has a fresh, peppery taste, but it can also be bitter to varying degrees depending on the variety.
Though areca nut has been traditionally chewed in many countries from Asia to the Pacific for over 4,000 thousand years, it is also frequently used in customs and rituals for marriage, birth, and religion in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and India.
Indochina Agriculture Processing, Ltd. grow areca nuts for the export market.
Passionfruit
Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) is high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C with a healthy dose of potassium, magnesium, calcium, and dietary fiber. Passionfruit has a low glycemic index value which is a huge benefit for diabetics who want to enjoy this tasty treat.
Passionfruit has become a very popular fruit for eating and an ingredient in many fruit teas and shakes because it is a rich source of antioxidants beneficial for health and has a wonderfully exotic tart sweetness.
Indochina Agriculture grows passion fruit that can be eaten fresh, made into juice, smoothies, shakes, fruit teas, sauces, glazes, jam, jelly, butter, dressing, and desserts.
