The Cambodia Quality Seal (CQS) is significantly enhancing the global competitiveness of local fishery enterprises

Cambodia leverages local certification to boost seafood exports with UNIDO support

CAMBODIA
Friday, July 10, 2026, 06:10 (GMT + 9)

Under the strategic guidance of the CAPFISH-Capture fisheries project —an initiative co-funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in coordination with the Fisheries Administration of Cambodia— the Asian nation is leveraging its local quality certification system to promote exports of its seafood products.

The widespread implementation of the Cambodia Quality Seal (CQS) is significantly enhancing the global competitiveness of local fishery enterprises, especially SMEs. This scheme acts as the engine for a profound sectoral transformation, driving the transition from traditional extensive production to a model based on standardization, industrialization, and internationalization.

According to official data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia, a total of 30 local fishery producers have already obtained the CQS certification. Thanks to compliance with these food safety and traceability standards, Cambodian aquatic products —both fresh and processed— have gained smooth access to international markets such as Australia, the United States, China, New Zealand, and Vietnam. At the same time, this progress establishes a fundamental regulatory compliance foundation for the future entry of its seafood products into the demanding European Union market.

Fisheries represent one of Cambodia's vital economic pillars, playing a key role in national development. Currently, the country's fishery capacity is steadily expanding with strong growth momentum. Total fishery output projected for 2025 stands at approximately 980,000 tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.6%.

Within the official breakdown of national production expected for this cycle, the following sector volume figures stand out:

  • Freshwater fishery: Estimated to reach 515,000 tons, registering a year-on-year increase of 10%.

  • Aquaculture: Projected at a volume of 324,000 tons.

  • Marine fishery: Will record a contribution of 140,000 tons.

The government of Cambodia is accelerating its internationalization strategy for the seafood sector, continuously expanding exports of its agro-aquatic products. This comprehensive approach has the priority objectives of safeguarding the sustainable development of fishery resources, ensuring national food security, increasing the incomes of local producers, reducing reliance on imported seafood, alleviating extractive pressure on natural fishing grounds, and achieving an essential balance between industrial benefits and ecological protection.

カンボジア、国連工業開発機関(UNIDO)の支援を受け、国内認証制度を活用し水産物輸出を拡大へ

欧州連合(EU)が共同出資し、カンボジア水産庁との連携のもと国際連合工業開発機関(UNIDO)が実施する水産プロジェクト「CAPFISH-Capture」の戦略的指導のもと、同アジア諸国は国内の品質認証制度を活用し、魚介類・水産物の輸出促進を測っています。

「カンボジア・クオリティ・シール(CQS)」の普及は、地元の水産企業、特に中小企業(SMEs)の国際競争力を大幅に高めています。この制度は、従来の粗放的な生産から、標準化、工業化、そして国際化に基づいたモデルへの構造転換を牽引する原動力となっています。

カンボジア農林水産省の公式データによると、すでに合計30の現地の水産製造業者がCQS認証を取得しています。これらの食品安全およびトレーサビリティ基準の遵守により、生鮮および加工品を含むカンボジアの水産物は、オーストラリア、米国、中国、ニュージーランド、ベトナムなどの国際市場へ円滑に参入しています。同時に、この進展は、規制の厳しい欧州連合(EU)市場への将来的な水産物参入に向けた、極めて重要な規制遵守の基盤を築くものです。

水産業はカンボジアの主要な経済の柱の一つであり、国家開発において不可欠な役割を果たしています。現在、同国の水産能力は力強い成長の勢いを維持しながら着実に拡大しています。2025年に予測される総水産生産量は約980,000トンに達し、前年比5.6%の増加となる見込みです。

このサイクルで予定されている国内生産の公式内訳では、以下の部門別ボリューム数値が際立っています。

  • 内水面漁業(淡水):515,000トンに達すると推定され、前年比10%の増加を記録。

  • 養殖業:324,000トンの生産量を予測。

  • 海面漁業:140,000トンの貢献を記録。

カンボジア政府は、魚介類・水産物セクターの国際化戦略を加速させており、農水産物の輸出を継続的に拡大しています。この包括的なアプローチは、水産資源の持続可能な開発の保護、国家フードセキュリティの確保、地元生産者の収入向上、水産物輸入への依存度低減、天然漁場への漁獲圧力の緩和、そして産業的利益と生態系保護の間の不可欠なバランスの達成を優先目標として掲げています。

柬埔寨在联合国工发组织支持下利用本土认证系统推动水产品出口

在欧盟共同资助、联合国工业发展组织(UNIDO)与柬埔寨渔业局协调执行的“CAPFISH-Capture”渔业项目战略指导下,这个亚洲国家正利用其本土质量认证系统来促进其鱼类和海鲜产品的出口。

“柬埔寨质量印章(CQS)”的广泛实施显着提高了当地渔业企业(特别是中小企业)的全球竞争力。该计划充当了深远行业转型的引擎,推动了从传统粗放型生产向基于标准化、工业化和国际化模式的转变。

根据柬埔寨农林渔业部的官方数据,目前共有30家当地渔业生产商获得了CQS认证。由于符合这些食品安全和可追溯性标准,柬埔寨的水产品(无论是鲜活产品还是加工产品)已顺利进入澳大利亚、美国、中国、新西兰和越南等国际市场。同时,这一进展为未来其水产品进入严苛的欧盟市场奠定了合规性的坚实基础。

渔业是柬埔寨核心经济支柱之一,在国家发展中发挥着至关重要 qualitative 的作用。目前,该国的渔业产能正以强劲的增长势头稳步扩张。2025年预计总渔业产量将达到约980,000吨,同比增长5.6%。

在这一周期预计的国内产量官方细分中,以下行业产量数据尤为突出:

  • 淡水渔业:预计将达到515,000吨,同比增长10%。

  • 水产养殖业:预计产量为324,000吨。

  • 海洋渔业:将录得140,000吨的贡献。

柬埔寨政府正在加速其鱼类和海鲜行业的国际化战略,不断扩大其农水产品的出口。这一全面举措的首要目标是维护渔业资源的可持续发展、保障国家粮食安全、增加当地生产者的收入、减少对进口海鲜的依赖、缓解天然渔场的捕捞压力,并实现工业效益与生态保护之间的必要平衡。
