In an effort to increase the productivity of fermented fish, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries intend to run a competition to identify the finest producers of the paste nationwide.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries will hold a competition for this delicacy to determine which village in the nation produces the most delectable fermented fish paste, said Dith Tina, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, after inspecting fish catch for makers of fermented fish paste in Kandal province on Sunday.
The market for fermented fish paste will profit from this competition’s increased recognition, he continued, and those who make this delicacy will be able to better their lives and earn a living.
To determine which hamlet makes the most delectable fermented fish paste, he stated, “I think maybe next season, I will organize a competition for that.”
He declared, “This competition will draw attention to the market for fermented fish paste, and the ministry will assist the winners in finding markets so they may sell their products to cafes and stores all around the nation.
Additionally, he urged anyone who wanted to prepare a fermented fish paste to act quickly because there were only a few days remaining and a good fish catch was predicted to occur between December 29, 2022, and January 3, 2023.
In order to increase their revenue from fermented fish paste, he also pushed individuals to think about processing it to create other food products and attract consumers with novel cuisine ideas.
The stationary Trawl Fishing method can gather 3 tons of fish in less than an hour, and so far, Tina claims that the catches have been good for the people.
I’m Rachana, a spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture, stated yesterday that the catch for this year has been predicted by the Fisheries Administration to increase by 40% compared to 2021.
