30-Aug-2010 (15 years 9 months 9 days ago)Cambodia has banned the import of pigs from Vietnam and Thailand after swine infected with blue-ear disease were smuggled into the country from neighbouring Vietnam.
The ban was announced by Prime Minister Hun Sen on August 4, who also asked market vendors to keep pork prices stable.
Hundreds of pigs have died from the disease in four provinces bordering Vietnam, and blue-ear has probably spread to half of Cambodia's 24 provinces.
