PHNOM PENH, Apr. 26, 2010 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian government is set to reduce exports of fishery products by 20 percent this year in order to cater for rising domestic demand, local media reported on Monday, citing industry officals.
Nao Thuk, director general of the General Department of Fishery Administration, said that this year Cambodia would export 24,000 tons of fishery products.
"We can catch a lot of fish, but our population has risen too. That was why we have to reduce exports of fishery products," Nao Thuk was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying.
Representatives from the Fishery Administration declined to reveal the scale of domestic demand.
