Svay Rieng: Samdech Maha Bovorathi Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, has issued an order to find and arrest the middlemen who incite people to fish and then wait to buy from them.
The order was issued by Samdech Maha Bovorathi Hun Manet on the occasion of presiding over the “National Fish Day, July 1, 2026, at the Vaiko River, Svay Rieng City, Svay Rieng Province” on the morning of Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
The Prime Minister recalled that in the past, there were people who incited people to fish on land, but now there are people who incite hundreds of people to use fish-catching equipment and when they catch fish, they wait to buy it back, and the people are the ones who face legal challenges when the authorities catch them.
The Prime Minister said, “The other day, there were people who encouraged people to go fishing (fishing) hundreds of times. And the people who encouraged people to go fishing, if they bought it, if they faced the law, the people would be free. Now, let’s find out and catch the people who encouraged them.”
On that occasion, the Prime Minister said that over the past two years, due to conservation and prevention of fishing crimes, fish production has increased, but there is also a problem: the price of fish has fallen.
