Awareness Training on NRMP and GAqP

FiA and UNIDO organized training to raise awareness of National Residue Monitoring Programme (NRMP) and to train aquaculture farmers on Good Aquaculture Practices (GAqP) and fish diseases and prevention.

NRMP is a risk-based control plan for monitoring residues of veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) and environmental contaminants in fishery products from aquaculture farms in Cambodia. The program is now in its third year of implementation which is a pre-requisite for entry of Cambodia farmed fishery products globally, including the EU and protecting consumer safety.

Effective NRMP implementation is essential to prevent chemical contaminants introduced into the products that could potentially link to development of antimicrobial resistance among other public health issues among consumers.

This training is part of NRMP preventive actions to prevent such contamination from happening in aquaculture products.
