Hengfu Group Sugar Industry Co Ltd, a major sugar manufacturer in Zhanjiang, has seen its international trade spike in recent years, thanks to Belt and Road Initiative.

The company began operations at a new production facility earlier this year in Preah Vihear, Cambodia, said its director, Liu Feng.

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen said the sugar production facility has created more than 7,000 jobs for local residents, while the entire project will create over 14,000 jobs for Cambodians.
