[PHNOM PENH POST]
CAMBODIA’S crocodile farms hatched some 50 percent more reptiles last
year, though the industry requires more investment before skins can be
harvested for the fashion industry.
Prices for the reptiles were
increasing internationally, leading the Kingdom’s farms to hatch 283,000
young crocodiles in 2010, up from 185,000 the year previous, according
to a report from the Fisheries Administration obtained yesterday.
“The
prices get better each year, [which] means croc production has
increased too,” said Fisheries Administration Deputy Director Sam Nuov.
Crocodile
young are generally hatched in Cambodia and then exported to Vietnam,
Thailand and China to be raised for meat and skin, he said.
Raising
crocodiles to adulthood for their hides requires large capital
investments – particularly the cost of separate pens for the reptiles –
which Cambodia was unable to meet.
“We are looking for companies
from Australia and Singapore to invest in large-scale [operations] to
create opportunities to export crocodile skin to international markets,”
he said.
Kaing Sarin, owner of a crocodile farm in Kandal
province’s Kandal Steung district, said yesterday that prices had risen
to about US$30 per young crocodile in 2010, from about $14 the year
before.
Kaing Sarin – whose farm produced 10,000 young last year –
said he was planning to hatch some 12,000 animals this year from its
3,500 breeding crocodiles.
“Crocodiles are usually available to sell in May, but we don’t know the prices for the year yet,” he said.
Prices
have tended to vary from year to year. Crocodile young had fetched as
much as $40 in 2003, before declining to lows of $12 per animal in 2008,
he said. A report from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries stated Cambodia’s 600 farms had bred 185,000 crocodile young
in 2009.
The Kingdom now has as many as 800 separate farms in
several provinces, including Kandal, Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampong
Chhnang and Kampong Thom.
I drop a leave a response when I like a article on a site or if I have something to add
ReplyDeleteto the conversation. It's triggered by the fire displayed in the article I read. And on this post "Growing reptile returns". I was excited enough to post a commenta response ;-) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of the remarks appear as if they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I would like to follow you. Could you list all of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
