  • Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends
    Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends International Silk Union Secretariat April 29, 2020 Hangzhou China For the silk industry, every crisis is also a turning point, which can accelerate the innovative development and transformation. In 1845, the pebrine disease of Bombyx mori first broke out in Vaucluse, France, and then spread all over the world. It brought a devastating blow to the production in major sericulture countries and regions like Europe, Japan and China. Under the effort of well-known microbiologist Louis Pasteur and other scientists, they used the selection method to control microbial infections, the hazard rate of silkworm disease in most sericulture countries reduced from 20% in the mid-19th century to the level of 1%, which renewed confidence in the silk industry. The silk industry in France, China, Japan, India and other countries achieved sustainable development. The COVID-19 has been fierce since early 2020, international silk industry and consumer market have been severely hit. China, Italy, France, Brazil and other major silk producers/consumers have been severely affected by the epidemic. Enterprises in various countries faced more difficulties in epidemic prevention, resumption of work, orders, and markets, both the upstream and downstream industries of silk are facing a serious crisis. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 also prompts changes in the silk marketing channels and consumption patterns. Many companies combine the Internet and new technologies to innovate and develop, transform and upgrade to adapt to market changes, fighting the economic crisis brought about by the epidemic. In order to fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on the international silk industry, study the future trends of the silk industry and consumption, from March 11 1 to April 10, 2020, International Silk Union(ISU) launched the research of Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends.

    RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) RESEARCH REPORT Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia Phase 1: Scope, design, and data analysis Dr Peter Leslie Annear (RMIT University) in association with David Wilkinson Men Rithy Chean Maurits van Pelt For the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University 30 April 2006 Phnom Penh Annear: Study of financial access to health services for the poor in Cambodia 1 RESEARCH REPORT (30 April 2006) Summary In recent years, a number of health reform proposals have been adopted or pioneered in Cambodia, including official user fees, sub-contracting government health service delivery to non-government providers, and community based health insurance. These health reform measures have acted to reduce the burden of health costs on the poor and to improve access. Fee exemption systems have, though, failed to protect the poor, who have largely been excluded from access to health care due to cost and other barriers. Now, a new model of health financing and relief for the poor has emerged, called health equity funding. Health equity funding has been particularly successful in reducing financial barriers and increasing utilization of government services. Health equity funding appears to be an efficient and effective way to overcome inequalities and extend health service coverage. This report details the findings of new research into health and equity in Cambodia carried out by the Ministry of Health, WHO, AusAID and RMIT University.

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of such events. The Cambodian population is highly vulnerable to the impacts of these events due to poverty; malnutrition; agricultural dependence; settlements in flood-prone areas, and public health, governance and technological limitations. Yet little is known about the health impacts of extreme weather events in Cambodia.

  • Kampot Pepper Promotion Association, CAMBODIA HISTORY at the OLD AGE
    Description of Kampot pepper production Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre 2014 in Turin Italy Mrs. Him Anna Member of Kampot Pepper Promotion Association, CAMBODIA HISTORY AT THE OLD AGE Pepper production in Cambodia is mentioned in documents as old as the reports of the Chinese explorer Tchéou Ta Kouan in the 13th century. However, it was at the end of the 19th century that the province of Kampot witnessed a real “pepper fever” with the arrival of the French colonists. At the beginning of the next century the production of this spice in Kampot intensified reaching up to 8000 tons per year. In the middle of the 20th century the production of Kampot pepper, which stabilized at around 3000 tons per year, was of exceptional quality. By that time, the name of Kampot had become strongly associated to pepper, and the product was well- known especially in France and the rest of Europe. Kampot pepper was highly appreciated for its quality, particularly among the chef’s community in France and Europe. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT The specificity of the Kampot Pepper / Poivre de Kampot lies in its strong (but not “burning”) pungency, not aggressive but developing progressively in mouth. Beside the spicy character, its aromatic intensity gives to Kampot pepper its particular quality. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT There exist four different types of Kampot Pepper depending on the time of harvesting and the processing they receive afterwards: Green pepper: is the unripe fruit of the pepper plant, harvested when still young in the plant. It can be marketed and consumed either fresh (presented in clusters) or in brine or vinegar (presented either in full berries or clusters).
