Frozen surimi and other frozen fish products, which accounted for a large proportion of exports in the past year, are also in the double decline of export volume and export volume.

 

However, the rise of canned processing products imported from tuna, bonito and sardines not only plays a very important role in the structural adjustment of export aquatic products in our city, but also greatly reduces the serious impact of the decrease in total exports of resources.

Small and medium enterprises urgently need to adjust their structure and expand their thinking.

 

As the resources of near sea water products decrease, the export of traditional aquatic products is more and more important. Industry insiders pointed out that in order to make our city's aquatic products exports continue to grow, it is imperative to increase the structural adjustment of export products. One of the key points of adjustment should be placed on aquaculture products, especially breakthroughs in the export of Penaeus vannamei. Our city has the resource advantage of South American white shrimp, and the international market also has the demand for frozen shrimp. The key is to strengthen the guidance of relevant departments, give export enterprises confidence, and strive for a breakthrough in the export of aquaculture products.

 

Due to the different development of export enterprises, how to promote the transformation of resource export processing enterprises has become the key to aquatic enterprises.
