NAUTISCO Seafood Manufacturing Co Ltd will export Cambodia’s first batch of processed shrimp next month, 15 tonnes to South Korea, the company director said Tuesday. In a press conference in Phnom Penh, Pov Sambath said the landmark consignment would be shipped on November 30. The firm, a joint-venture with Canadian investors who last year injected US$5 million into a processing plant in Preah Sihanouk province, plans to process 15 tonnes of shrimp per day in future, 90 percent of which would be for overseas markets, he added.
In Brief: Prakas passed on gems
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 15:00 May Kunmakara
THE Ministry of Commerce has issued a prakas, or edict, that attempts to more thoroughly regulate the gems and jewellery industry, according to a copy received by the Post on Tuesday.
The new legislation says that all sellers of precious stones and metals must register their businesses and obtain a licence at the Trade Promotion Department, while receipts that detail the quality of the product would be required after a sale. The government may withdraw licences in cases in which the latter is violated, it adds.
