Cambodian professors visit Yangpyeong smart mango farm

Professors from Cambodia's National University of Battambang (NUBB) recently visited the 'Mango Tree' apple mango smart farm in Yangpyeong, South Korea, gaining firsthand insight into the country's advanced agricultural practices. The visit was part of an exchange program organized by Duksung Women's University's Global Education ODA Development Cooperation Center.

Led by Kim Byung-yeon, the CEO of Mango Tree, the Cambodian delegation toured the cultivation facilities. They received detailed explanations on how tropical fruits like mangoes are grown in Korea's distinct climate and learned about the post-harvest distribution methods. Discussions focused on managing the farm's internal environment, including temperature and humidity, and the remote control and monitoring systems characteristic of smart farms.

Kim Byung-yeon demonstrated how smart devices are used to monitor the farm's conditions in real-time and manage its facilities remotely. The Cambodian professors showed keen interest in how South Korean smart farm technology contributes to stable growth and quality control for apple mangoes. They actively inquired about operational costs, cultivation environment management, and distribution processes, exploring potential applications for Cambodia's agricultural sector.

The professors showed great interest in how Korean smart farm technology is utilized to create a stable growing environment and manage the quality of apple mangoes.

During a tasting session, the professors sampled the apple mangoes grown at Mango Tree, noting their taste was remarkably similar to mangoes produced in Cambodia. This led to discussions comparing cultivation environments and mango varieties between the two countries. The visit provided a comprehensive look at agricultural production, quality management, and distribution using smart farm technology, with a particular focus on mangoes, a key crop in Cambodia.

Duksung Women's University's Global Education ODA Development Cooperation Center plans to continue exchanges based on the shared knowledge of smart farm operations and agricultural product distribution, aiming to support the agricultural education and related centers at NUBB.
