Squid export industry trends
Squid is a kind of squid with rich nutritional value. It is one of the underutilized marine organisms with great potential in the world's marine fishery resources. China has gradually become the world's largest squid fishing country. Our company has always been a very powerful squid processor in China, and the processed squid has been exported all over the world.
China is the world's largest squid processing and exporting country. Pelagic squid fishing is an important part of my country's pelagic fishery and one of the pillar industries of oceanic fishery. According to Zhang Xianliang, director of the Fisheries Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, as of the end of 2018, there were more than 600 ocean-going squid fishing vessels across the country, with an output of more than 520,000 tons, accounting for about 20% of the world's squid production, with an output value of about 7 billion yuan. After 30 years of development, the scale of the industry has leapt to the forefront of the world, and the annual output of squid has ranked first in the world for 9 consecutive years. my country has become a very powerful producer, market and consumer of pelagic squid in the world. Our company is also a very powerful squid processor in China. It mainly processes frozen squid rings, processed frozen squid and other squid foods, which are popular all over the world.
my country's squid mainly comes from wild fishing including offshore fishing and ocean fishing. The squid caught mainly has three destinations: food processing factories, distribution and retail, and foreign trade exports. Therefore, our company also has distributors all over the world, and cooperates with various food processing factories.
At present, there are more than 30 countries and regions engaged in squid fishing in the world, and the main producing countries are China, Japan, South Korea, Argentina and Peru. According to the data from the China Fishery Statistical Yearbook, the output of squid marine fishing in my country fluctuated from 2012 to 2018 In 2013, the squid marine fishing output was 385,800 tons, which fell to 292,000 tons in 2018.
Judging from the trend of population growth in our country, domestic consumption will also increase. In the next 20 years, the total population of our country will reach 1.6 billion, which will be more than 200 million more than now. If the new population reaches the current per capita occupancy, the demand for aquatic products will increase by 1161xl04t. Although my country's per capita aquatic product possession has reached 38.69kg, exceeding the world's per capita share, the per capita consumption only accounts for about 1/3 of the per capita share. With the development of our country's economy, the consumer demand for aquatic products will continue to expand.
