Cambodian mangos to France

Under its Philibon brand, Boyer S.A. has been importing mangos into France from Cambodia. That's in addition to the Kent mangos it brings in from Peru.

“The variety we get from Cambodia is the Keo,” explained Claire-Marie Isnard of Boyer S.A. “The name comes from the word for mango in the local language there.” Of the imported fruit, all mangos are sold under the Philibon brand, and 90 percent stays for local consumption in France.

Boyer S.A. is a French company that deals in fresh fruits and vegetables, including melons, plums, cherries, green beans, peas and exotic fruits.

Mango is svai, so any idea where this name "keo" comes from, or is it the name of a variety, a Cambodian brandname ?

I was thinking the same thing, keo is blue, I asked the missus if she knew of a variety of mango called keo but she doesn't think so.

There are Many kinds of mangoes.Svay Keo is a kind of mango, but mango doesn't mean Keo.

Ok thanks, I know there are many types of mangoes, but both my missus and I had never heard of the svay keo variety.

so is kampot pepper an entirely new species of pepper or just normal pepper with a kampot name attached to it?

On our property we grow svay keo chen(Chinese glass mango),which is considered one of the most delectable and svay keo l'miat(turmeric glass mango) which is considered 2nd quality but has the virtue of being the first to come to fruition and can be eaten either green or ripe. I am unaware of a blue mango

Maybe the mango for export is the svay keo chen variety, but it's been renamed Keo mango for marketing ? (Short catchy name for westerners.)
I presume they are exporting the best type of mangos. Do they look very different ? It would be handy to be able to identify which are the best sort of mangos to buy here.

Blue mango sounds like a boutique hotel.

I also suspect that Ms. Claire Marie Isnard doesn't know much Khmer.
