Fruit Picking, Khmer Style

This was the view from our balcony this morning. The clip shows our guard Vuthy and his family harvesting fruit from the big tree in the front courtyard. The process involves a couple of guys climbing the tree without ropes or harnesses and shaking the branches, whilst the rest of the family hold a large tarp below to catch the berries as they fall. I reckon they must be 20 metres up - no OH&S here ! I've no idea what fruit this is, i'll try to find out and report back.
