Cambodia exported 30,000 tonnes of fish products worth USD 30 million last year, the government reported. However, these exports negatively impacted local supply.
In 2009, 20,000 tonnes of fresh fish and 10,000 tonnes of processed fish were exported, an increase of 5,000 tonnes of fish over the previous year, the Ministry of Agriculture’s Fisheries Department said on Tuesday.
“We do not want to export too much because we want to give an adequate supply to local demand,” said Sam Nov, deputy director of the department.
He declined to specify the amount of fish needed for Cambodia’s residents.
