CAMBODIA - The government of Cambodia has announced a long-term aim to get fishermen to move to farming, not catching, fish and shellfish, and local community says they are in favour.
The government last week announced it will spend US$6 million to build a fisheries farm in Preah Sihanouk province that it expects will boost exports of fish and shellfish amid rising global demand, writes Khouth Sophak Chakrya for Phnom Penh Post.
Nao Thuok, director of the Fisheries Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, told the Post Thursday the farm would eventually double the country's annual seafood exports from its current official level of about 5,000 tonnes, adding that it would also increase food security along the country's coastline, says the news agency.
"We will spend more than $6 million to build the farm on two-and-a-half hectares of the Tumnop Tolok area in Preah Sihanouk province," he said.
Nao Thuok said experts from Japan were currently examining the environmental impact of the farm, adding that he would request them to help fund the project.

7:08 PM is absolutely right.
I have witnessed myself at Krokor in Pursath Province... and in Siem Reap too. When I have taken a boat's drive from Battambang to Siem Reap.
Pursath, Siem Reap and Kampong Chhnaing, Yuons establish a cartel for fishes. Who dare to confront Youns in Tonle Sap??? Khmers are really chickens ! Khmers are good for killing khmers. Especially the polices and armies !
Fishermen to Farm
This is really tough to say. Most of the land, the government give to Okgnas - lords, armies, polices and youn's armies. Where are the available's lands for future khmer's farmes ??? NOT A LOTS !
If you voted for CPP (Cambodian People's Party):
Also known as:
Communist People's Party
Khmer Rouge People's Party
Khmer Krorhorm People's Party
You're support the killing of 1.7 million innocent Khmer peoples.
You're support the killing of innocent men, women and children in Cambodia on March 30, 1997.
You're support murder of Piseth Pilika.
You're support assassination of journalists in Cambodia.
You're support political assassination and killing.
You're support attemted assassination and murder of leader of the free trade union in Cambodia.
You're support corruption in Cambodia.
You're support Hun Sen Regime burn poor people's house down to the ground and leave them homeless.
These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.
Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.
When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Trail?
Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.
Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.
I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.
Whoever associate with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen's government (Cambodian People's Party) invented human right abuses, intimidation, death threats, assassination, murder, killing, eviction, land grabbing, injustice and corruptions in Cambodia.
These are some of Hun Sen Regime's Trade Mark.
Under Hun Sen Regime, no criminals that has been committed murder and all other crimes within Hun Sen's government ever been brought to Hun Sen Regime's court.
of course, it's called diversification of the industry. stop depending too much on nature such as rain to grow rice, or rivers and lakes to provide fish; be smarter by improvising, sometimes. it's called learning and growing wiser. yes, learn from everybody in the world, friends, enemies, strangers, relatives, etc... please be open to learning from everybody, it will make us all smarter! god bless cambodia.
