CATTLE SMUGGLING.There has always been a cross border trade in cattle and buffalo, between Vietnam and Cambodia, this is now being halted as a precaution against BSE and foot-and-mouth.

The rising economy in Vietnam, has made the trade in cattle from Cambodia a profitable business.

The police have made several arrests, of cattle truck drivers smuggling cattle but the trade is far to lucrative to be stopped.

Vietnam is trying to clean up the health status on the country’s livestock, in order to create a cattle breeding industry of its own, as a means to become self sufficient in food.
