Pakxong strawberry farm has tasty treats in store
CHAMPASSAK, Laos (Vientiane Times/ANN) – Pakxong district in Champassak is one of the few places in Laos that has a temperate climate. The relatively high altitude means the area is suitable for growing a wide range of crops that thrive in cooler weather.
Most of the crops cultivated are of superior quality and have a niche market, especially the coffee, which is arguably Laos’ most well-known export.
The strawberries grown here are possibly the most expensive and tasty fruit in Laos and at this time of the year they appear in markets, but most are imported from Thailand.
