AKP Kampot, March 13, 2025 -- 

A strawberry farm atop Bokor Mountain is proving to be a sweet success, drawing crowds of tourists and boosting the region's appeal. 

What began as an experimental project in 2023 has blossomed into a key attraction within Preah Monivong Bokor National Park. 

"We've turned our research into a thriving farm," said General Manager Mr. Kim Moung. "Our South Korean-imported plants are yielding delicious strawberries, and visitors are loving it." 

The half-hectare farm, now open to the public for a US$1 entry fee, harvests 15-20 kilogrammes of strawberries daily. While seedlings take months to produce fruit, grafted plants offer a quicker turnaround, attracting both domestic and international visitors. 

"Weekdays see 20-30 visitors, but weekends explode with 400-500," Mr. Kim Moung added. 

Mr. Say Sinol, Director of the Kampot Provincial Tourism Department, emphasised the farm's unique draw. "Strawberries are a rare treat here. Tourists are eager to taste them, see how they're grown, and experience something different," he said. 

The Bokor Mountain strawberry farm is now a must-see, solidifying Kampot's reputation as a growing tourist hotspot.
