Cambodia’s first hygienic fish market to open in Kampot

Cambodia’s first sanitized and quality-controlled fish market is set to open in Kampot province in May this year, as construction of the facility has now begun. The Alliance of Marine Fishery Association of Cambodia (AFAC), which is behind the project, said the scheme would boost sustainability and sales in the industry. Funded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the market will guarantee quality standards as technical experts will issue certificates for fishery products before sale and export. The facility, which allows a better platform for selling products locally and abroad, will contribute to economic progress for all fishermen who use it, the head of UNIDO’s Cambodia operation said.
