Garment sector affected by crackdown on illegal trucks
/ February 19, 2018
The government’s crackdown on illegal trucks, which began more than a week ago, continued through the Chinese New Year, potentially prolonging a crisis that members of garment and trucking associations have said threatens their industries. The crackdown forced more than half of the vehicles serving the garment industry off of the roads, according to an open letter released by the Garment Manufacturer’s Association in Cambodia (GMAC) on Wednesday. Siv Chanthy, president of the Cambodia Freight Forwarders Association, had a meeting with Transportation Minister Sun Chanthol on Wednesday to find a solution to the problems, but he said yesterday the issue was not yet resolved.
