Cambodia Moves to Expand GI Protection for Local Products

Cambodia’s Ministry of Commerce is pressing ahead to secure additional Geographical Indication (GI) recognition for local specialties, with the goal of strengthening the country’s presence in global export markets. “The GI status has increased the market demand for Khmer agricultural and fishery products, in turn contributing towards the income rise for small and medium farmers and their families,” said Veng Sothy, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Commerce.
