Dried fish in Cambodia: Literature review
Metadata
abstract
The literature reviewed in this report clearly identifies the role of processed fish in Cambodia as an important livelihood option, especially for the poorer segments of the population and women; as an important contributor to food security and nutrition; and as a cultural preference. This body of work is fragmented, however, as it does not focus specifically on the processed fish sector. Research that is directly about fish processing in Cambodia is marked by a focus on technical analysis, including the chemical composition of processed fish and the methods followed in processing fish paste and fermented fish. Some studies that analyze the fisheries sector more generally have included discussions of the processed fish sector, addressing a variety of themes – socio-economic conditions; culture; ecology and environment; nutrition; food security and food safety; and policy and governance.
