Nautisco Company will export about 15 tons of Cambodian shrimp to South Korea at the end of 2009.

General Manager of Nautisco Company in Cambodia Pov Sambath said on Wednesday in a press conference at the Cambodiana Hotel that “At the end 2009, we will export a total about 15,000 kg of shrimps to Korea.”

“If we would be successful, we could export to Japan and other European countries as well,” Sambath added. “We sell about 10 percent in the local market, but 90 percent we have kept to export,” he said. “We have 200 employees in the businesses now, for the future we will add from 300-400 to work with us.”

Cambodian Fisheries Administ-ration (FA) officer Chhourn Chamnan said that the fishery sector supports Cambodian food security and helps promote development. Nautisco said fish and shrimps from sea are cleaned by osmosis and methods.

Nautisco hopes that the Cambodian Government will allow foreign investors to invest in Cambodia with the brand name ‘Made in Cambodia’ to export overseas, he added.
