11/05/2009


VietNamNet Bridge – More than 35 tonnes of mouse meat per day is imported from Cambodia via the Khanh Binh border gate in An Phu district, the southern province of An Giang, said the chief of the An Phu district Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Van Thao.

At the border gates of Khanh Binh and Tinh Bien (Tinh Bien district) in An Giang province, there are over 30 traders who buy mouse meat from Cambodia for wholesale in Vietnam.

A mouse meat trader in Khanh Binh, Nguyen Van Tam, said that hundreds of Cambodians bring mice to Khanh Binh to sell. Now is the rice harvest season in Cambodia, when field mice abound.

According to Vietnamese mouse buyers at the two above border gates, around 50 tonnes of mice is transported via the Vietnamese-Cambodian border in An Giang a day.

A kilo of raw field mice is priced between VND35,000 to VND40,000 ($US$2-2.3). The price is VND50,000 ($2.9) for a kilo of processed mice. The prices for brown rats are VND50,000-VND60,000 per kilo for whole rats depending on size and VND75,000 to VND80,000 per kilo of processed meat.

Mice are processed in An Giang and sold to traders from HCM City and Can Tho city. Mouse meat has become a favourite food of many people in the south, particularly HCM City.

Oh sorry, it is Prey Norkor not HCM.

I hope HUN SEN reclaim Prey Norkor (HCM) back if you are his advisor.

Cause Prey Norkor is Khmer Krom capital city.

Khmer Krom was doing a good job the other day to let the world know that Kampuchea Krom was once part of Cambodia. When the damn French left they illegal gave it to YOUN without asking the Khmer.

HCM will be no longer exist in near future.

It will be called again as Prey Norkor.

Khmer Pride,

The rodents were source of protein and popular back in Pol Pot’s regime. People survived by eating them. They are clean animals because they live in the rice field and eat only rice. But it doesn’t mean, they don’t have any disease. Now it’s became more popular on restaurant’s menu and delicacy in other countries.

50 tons a day? wow, unbelievable? where and how did they get that a day? it sounds like a good business.

in fact, samlor ma-chou kan-dor is ... yum, yum ...it reminds me when i was in my poor village.

it is a really good food chain. pepole eat mice; mice eat bugs; bugs eat crops, and so on. if it is a good business with vietnam, it's good. poor farmers can make some money during this economic crisis. keep up the good work.

however, i'm afraid that some day, all the rodent species will be extinct.

That is what we call the change in the globalized world.

The poorer will eat chickens, the richer will eat dogs, rats, and cockcraoch.

Vietcongs are teaching the world to eat dogs, rats and other insects as their policy of changing the world's eating habits.

MOUSE and RAT Breeding Policy will be part of Hun Sen's developemnt goals.

With rat-meat business is on the rise, Hun Sen expects that the economic growth will be at a two-digit rate this year.

He will propose foreign direct investment in rat or mouse farming instead of rice farming.

God bless Cambodia,

Mouse farming and mouse-meat production will the main Public Policy of Hun Sen.
