The Phnom Penh-based facility is an initiative by InfraCo Asia, part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group. The Khmer Cold Chain facility is developed in partnership with Phnom Penh Autonomous Port with grant support from PIDG Technical Assistance and USAID.

InfraCo Asia, part of The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), celebrated the opening of the Khmer Cold Chain (KCC) cross-docking and cold storage facility today. The facility includes approx. 6000 cubic meters of temperature-controlled cold storage adjacent to the Phnom Penh Autonomous Port, and also provides cross-docking services that support the import and export of goods into and out of Cambodia, including agricultural products, fishery products, medical goods, and more. The event was presided by H. E. Peng Ponea, Minister of Public Works and Transport for the Kingdom of Cambodia; and supported by key dignitaries including British Ambassador H. E. Dominic Williams; Australian Ambassador H. E. Justin Whyatt; US Charge d’Affaires Bridget L. InfraCo Asia Development Pte. Ltd.

The project commenced construction in March 2022 following a feasibility study commissioned by InfraCo Asia to address the gap in Cambodia’s cold storage capacity. The study, conducted by World Food Logistics Organization, noted that Cambodia needed an additional 140,000 cubic metres of cold storage capacity by 2030 to meet its supply chain demands. The facility is the first privately owned, publicly accessible port-linked cold storage facility in Cambodia. It will improve and expand supply chain services for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and approximately 15,000 to 30,000 smallholder farmers. Equipped with multiple temperature-controlled zones, the facility can store goods at temperatures ranging from -22°C to 25°C, and has a dedicated area for value-added services such as packaging, labelling, sanitary and phytosanitary services and customs clearance services.
