This product has been significantly becoming a common job for people in the province and some families have been for more than half a century.

This Krolan is also transported to Phnom Penh markets each day but it is cooked with more salt.

It can be kept up to two days without refrigeration. Making Krolan is good business since the 40 percent of the costs come from the domestic supply and this business can contribute to poverty alleviation for people along the Mekong River.
