13/08/2009VietNamNet Bridge – Phu Dat market in the southern province of An Giang is known as the biggest mouse market in Vietnam.
This special market is located on the bank of Phu Dat canal, along National Highway No. 91.
According to a senior rat trader at Phu Dat, named Khanh Duy, a kilo of rats is priced at 20,000 dong, which is high in comparison with rice. Hunting rats has become an extra job for many farmers in the Mekong Delta. Many rat traders travel to Cambodia to buy rats.
Khanh Duy said that in the rat season, which runs from the fourth to the eight lunar months, Cambodian partners supply 1.5 to 2 tonnes of rats to the Phu Dat market. From Phu Dat, mice are transported to small markets and restaurants throughout the country.
Besides rat traders, Phu Dat market has a team of rat processors.
Phu Dat is a very old market. Local people say that even they don’t know when this market was opened. An old woman who processes rats at Phu Dat market said that at least four generations of people in this land have earned their incomes from this market.
Phu Dat village has 670 families and over 300 of them earn their incomes from this market.
Apart from the Phu Dat rat market in An Giang, there is another market in Long An province named Moc Hoa and some markets along the Vietnam-Cambodia border.

Dear friends,
Rats and mice are bad to people because they eat rice in the fields.
Thank the Vietnameses who are eating them it is good for Cambodia to destroy large amount of rat squads around the country and to boost the rice production.
Thank you

Viagra fool!
RATS are the best meat the world people because it rare it find.
i think the phnom tamao zoo should start buying rats from people to feed their animal sanctuary there. this way, people can make a living and khmer wild life can have food!
You Viet Rats!
