Supermarkets mostly out of fruit and veg.

They are missing a trick. The vendors could replace lost revenue with S&M movie rights.

I keep it’s cousin and it’s little brothers at home.

Good for 10-25 years (at least)

Just in case.

Please stay safe out there!

Edible for 10-25 years. Not sure it will qualify as good

Good hindsight, being well prepared. Only two on Amazon and others in stock, delivery and import duty ouch! But that is immaterial if you're starving or have no money, oh and can't get it because there is little movement in the city or country when you're on lockdown. I was hoping that they had around 16 million in stock, that may have helped.

let's turn a serious situation into a disaster


other countries seem to be able to handle the pandemic without starving the population
i guess farmboy's KR habits die hard

Chinese wet markets had to close I think.

Poorer people who can’t go to supermarkets are going to struggle especially. Terrible for sellers too. Will the government give assistance for those who lose income?

Yes, it used to be $50 - $75 but now they are giving out rice, soy sauce, fish sauce, canned fish, and a pack of noodles. The biggest question is after a month of this how are most Khmers going to pay rent and utilities, I doubt the bank is taking payments in rice.

Phnom Penh Municipality has just announced tonight that it will close all “state-run and unregulated market” all over the capital for 14 days.
This late sudden directive was announced as yet another sudden move by the authorities to curb the coronavirus in Cambodia and the markets have a big source of community infections.



It also requires all the vendors and security guards in the markets which have operated since April 14 to come to the nearest testing sites to have their sample taken to be tested for the coronavirus. After that, they will have to quarantine themselves for another 14 days.



The authorities in all 14 districts in Phnom Penh shall be responsible for this task while the people who violate the orders shall face legal action.



Some of the big and popular markets have had had hundreds of vendors, security, officials and patrons tested positive for COVID-19 and have already been shut.



Tonight’s decision means all remaining markets have to be closed and by morning, the authorities are going to face a nightmarish situation of people having no markets open to get their fresh food and meat supplies due to the mandatory shutdown and testing, as ordered by the Phnom Penh authority.
