Cambodia has temporarily banned all imports of farmed fish from neighbouring countries in efforts to promote locally farmed fish, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF).
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has approved a three-tier cooperation plan for production of high-quality tra fish breeds in the Mekong Delta from now to 2025.
The demand for ornamental fish in the country is large but fish breeders in HCM City have not fully exploited this market because of their small scale of production.
Ho Chi Minh City’s ornamental fish breeding industry is seeking to expand consumption markets as production and export of the species have been growing.
