Cambodia’s fish enter Australian market

Fish processing enterprise Home Taste Food exported its first batch of processed fish to Australia, becoming the first Cambodian firm to export fish products to a foreign market.

Sim Sereyroth, Founder of Home Taste Food based in Siem Reap province, told Khmer Times that 4.7 tonnes of fish products have been exported and soon they will be available at supermarkets in Australia.

“It is a significant step for us as a local enterprise and it is a testimony to the quality of the product,” Sereyroth said.

The enterprise is capable of scaling up the production if the demand goes up in the foreign market, she said.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) applauded the success of the company. “The presence of Cambodian processed fish products in an international market is a welcome development,” said Im Rachna, the ministry’s Under-Secretary of State and spokeswoman.

“Home Taste Food is the first Cambodian enterprise to export processed fish products to foreign markets,” Rachna confirmed to Khmer Times.

The ministry will continue to support the company which now aims to expand its exports to the US and New Zealand markets by more than 100 tonnes in the near future, Rachna said.

The Kingdom is also looking into opportunities for the export of processed fish products to the European market.

According to Rachna, to boost exports, Home Taste Food employees have been undergoing training by the CAPFISH-Capture, an initiative of MAFF and UNIDO, she said.

The training is aimed at improving the technical capacity of the private sector. It will also promote competition and help the implementation of the food standard system in Cambodia to meet national and international standards.

“The enterprises that can export processed fish products are recognized by the UNIDO and the Fisheries Administration by awarding Cambodia Quality Seal (CQS) certification,” Rachna said.

The CQS is a prestigious certification scheme of the Department of Fisheries Post-harvest Technologies and Quality Control under the Fisheries Administration.

It was established specifically for fish and fishery products to recognize business operators in Cambodia for their commitment to high-quality, safe products.

The certification is awarded to companies that meet rigorous standards of excellence in safety, quality, environmental responsibility, gender equality, child labour prevention, and customer satisfaction.

Covid-19 cash assistance of $1.2B helped labour market

Cambodia’s largest social assistance programme – the Covid-19 cash transfer programme – has played a crucial role in boosting the economy, said the World Bank in its latest report.

Since its launch in June 2020, the program has disbursed $1.2 billion as of September 2023. The World Bank noted the positive impact of this programme and said, “increase in cash aid and their coverage expansion serves to further alleviate the negative impacts experienced by poor and vulnerable households.”

For Cambodia, the first cases of Covid hit in February 2020. Within four months, the country saw more than 30,000 confirmed cases and nearly 500 deaths.In two years of impact, the region saw 139,103 cases and about 3,056 deaths, as per Worldometer data.

During the period, the government took preventive measures like others globally. It included travel restrictions, restrictions on mass gatherings and strict lockdowns. While this was effective in containing the spread of the virus, it also resulted in lower economic activity and loss of jobs and livelihoods.

As a result of which, Cambodia’s Economic and Finance Policy Committee (EFPC) met in April 2020 for policy decisions on how to manage the economic impact of Covid. Among the proposals was the Cash Transfer Program (CTP). And it was on June 24, 2020, former Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen launched the CTP to reach 560,000 poor and vulnerable households nationwide.

The World Bank in its 2024 report also acknowledges that it was the size of the programme – “being the largest in the country” – that helped in poverty alleviation and improving the livelihoods of the marginalised. The report also noted that the government doubled its conditional cash transfer program to about $380 for each pregnant woman bearing one child up to the age of two with ID Poor cards from August 2023. The report noted it as a positive that the coverage includes female workers who are members of the National Social Security Fund, female civil servants, interns and officials.

The World Bank also said financial support to laid-off workers has also helped in Cambodia’s labour market, which has been affected by subdued goods exports. Jobs in the (formal) manufacturing sector shrank from 1.05 million in July 2022 to 1.0 million in May 2023, before partly recovering to 1.02 million in August 2023. This represents a 5 percent decline in manufacturing sector jobs, which resulted in government aid to laid-off workers.

S. Korea Loses to Indonesia, Eliminated in Olympic Football Qualifiers

South Korea lost to Indonesia in the quarterfinals of the Asian Football Confederation(AFC) U-23 Asian Cup, failing to secure a ticket to the Paris Olympics. 

Team Korea, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, fell to Indonesia 11-10 in a marathon penalty shootout after drawing 2-2 after 120 minutes in the match at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Thursday. 

South Korea attempted to advance to the Olympic finals for the tenth consecutive time, but ended up achieving the feat only nine consecutive times. 

It’s the first time in 40 years that the country failed to reach the Olympics since the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. 

It’s also the first time that the country’s U-23 national team lost to Indonesia. 

This tournament doubles as the AFC qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympics. The top three teams — the two finalists and the winner of the third-place match — will earn their spots in the Olympics, while the fourth-placed team will be decided in an intercontinental playoff match.

Hybe Files Breach of Trust Complaint against ADOR CEO Min to Police

The nation’s biggest entertainment company Hybe has filed a complaint with the police against subsidiary ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin over alleged breach of trust.

The Seoul Yongsan Police Station said on Friday that the complaint against Min, as well as ADOR Vice President Shin Dong-hoon was received in the morning.

Announcing interim findings from an audit against the sublabel on Thursday, Hybe claimed that it has verified concrete facts about a scheme to seize control of the company led by Min, and has obtained related physical evidence.

Hybe claimed Min ordered the management to come up with ways to pressure Hybe to sell off its ADOR shares, leading to discussions of the early termination of a contract with K-pop girl group NewJeans and nullifying a contract between Min and Hybe.

Min disputed this at a press conference on Thursday, accusing Hybe of manipulating the content of her private conversation with ADOR management to make a distorted claim that she had attempted to seize corporate control.
