The move comes after Vietnam sent a letter to Cambodia, requesting it to consider its ban on catfish imports from neighbouring countries, starting from January 8, 2021.
The ban was said to protect local farmers but go against trade liberalization rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
Cambodia’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries on February 8 said it will continue to consult with the Cambodian Aquaculture Association, seafood import-export businesses and authorized agencies to develop and recognize technical standards.
