Here is a few suggestions
Banana Passionfruit, I have grown these and they make a good flavoured wine . They need something to climb over.

Feijoa Easy to grow from seed and often used as a hedge. For better fruit and size best to be grown from cuttings , Again ,, also make a good wine

Guava. There are many types of guava . I have grown the small red one which has a very strong favour , and again makes a very strong flavoured wine. And have also grown the South African type which is yellow or pink inside .

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Black Boy Peach

Dont know why no-one has not grown peaches in the cooler northern areas of Cambodia but these Blackboy peaches are delicious . I would often spend my midday lunch time gorging myself with these before the birds could eat them.

only if you get caught first and then not of they accept your cash donation. Although I was only joking, I'm sure they are grown in patches in remote areas somewhere. In the 1950's Cambodia was still importing 50,000 tons of opium annually. There must be some that still lay on their side beside a lamplight or where it is grown for medicinal uses in remote areas.
Still here, in country...

Wow, those look really interesting, especially banana passionfruit- what does it taste like? Looks like it would taste like passion fruit.

Feijoa looks like guava. Where can you get this tamarrilo? Presumably thsi would be difficult or nearly impossible to get in Cambodia...

Is the land way out in the country where it's desolate, nobody uses the land as a walkthrough, does it have moderate to full sun? If you said yes thrice read on. Best cash crop? Papaver somniferum: seeds to harvest in just 3 months. :shock:
Not interesting in anything illegal!
