With the arrival of the four-month fishing season, seafood is on the market all over the country. Seafood products such as pike crab, large yellow croaker, and sea cucumber are very popular, and sales have also increased significantly. However, the corresponding seafood ** has seen a "big dive".
This change in the seafood market has made many consumers very excited. They say that the cost of buying seafood has been greatly reduced, and "seafood freedom" can finally be achieved. However, some netizens said that no matter how cheap the seafood is, they dare not eat it. What the hell is going on?
01.Seafood***
Recently, with the end of the summer fishing moratorium in the South China Sea, fresh fish have been put on the market one after another. In the seafood market in Yangjiang City, the variety of seafood has increased significantly, the supply is sufficient, and even the seafood has declined.
Ms. Yang said that 10 days ago, the price of shrimp was 70 yuan, but now it has dropped to 50 yuan. Because ** was 20 yuan cheaper, she bought an extra pound to taste.
Boss Zhou, a seafood vendor, said that a lot of seafood is currently in the market. For example, the ** of white pomfret used to be 90 yuan a catty, but now it has dropped to 70 yuan a catty. The price of saury is 40 yuan per catty, compared with 65 yuan per catty. Mackerel used to be 45 yuan a catty, but now it has dropped to 28 yuan a catty. In addition, dragon head fish, flower crabs, shrimps, and shellfish** all declined.
The seafood market in Nanning, Guangxi is also very lively. Fish, shrimp, shellfish, and crabs have arrived, attracting many wholesalers to come to purchase, and ** has also dropped sharply.
Take Pipi shrimp, for example. In the past, a pound could be sold for 90-100 yuan, but now it has dropped to 30-50 yuan a pound. It's ** can be said to be cut in half. The ** of winter crab is also much cheaper. It used to sell for 68 yuan a catty, but now it has dropped to 45 yuan a catty. The same is true for "skinned cattle", which has dropped from 150 yuan to 60 yuan.
In addition to the fact that the offline market** is cheap, the online market is also very popular. For example, in the warehouse of an e-commerce platform in Guangzhou, staff are working overtime overnight to package all kinds of seafood and deliver it to consumers as soon as possible.
The person in charge, Mr. Xu, said that at present, the sales of turbot, nine-section shrimp and pike crab have doubled. In particular, the nine-section shrimp are sold out almost every day, and the sales have doubled on weekends.
Mr. Xu also said that as for the reason for the increase in sales, it is not only that the fishing season has just ushered in, and consumers are already greedy and have strong purchasing power, but also because of the sharp decline in the number of marine fish. Many marine fish used to cost about 150 yuan a catty, but now they can't be bought. It fell to 80-100 yuan per catty, a sharp decline, which boosted purchasing power.
In an e-commerce warehouse in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, the staff is also very busy. Sales director Manager Sun said that their company sold more than 1,000 orders of seafood in one night, including more than 500 orders of pike crab and more than 200 orders of hairtail fish. Such sales volume is unimaginable to him.
However, Manager Sun said that many netizens asked to buy seafood caught before August 24, and then they were reluctant to eat seafood.
The reporter learned that in the past few days, seafood sales on many e-commerce platforms across the country have almost skyrocketed. On an e-commerce platform, on August 24 alone, sales of pike crabs increased by 122%.
02.Why is seafood sales increasing so much?
Seafood is a delicacy with high nutritional value. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, high-quality protein, minerals, etc., and eating more seafood can improve the body's resistance and has many benefits for the human body.
In addition, no matter what kind of seafood it is, it is delicious and has a unique texture that you will never get tired of eating.
But many people don't understand, why the seafood **, which has always been relatively high, suddenly dropped so much, and the sales increased so much?
1.Increase**.
This year, the global marine climate conditions are milder and the water temperature is higher than usual, which is conducive to the development of the aquaculture industry. Various seafood products such as crabs, shrimps, and shellfish are growing well, and sales have increased significantly.
As the amount of seafood increases, it will naturally decline. But this year's seafood **substantially**, also due to reduced demand.
At present, the global economic development is slowing down, and the demand for seafood consumption has dropped significantly. The purchasing power of the population for seafood has decreased. Many people consume rationally and reduce the consumption of high-end foods such as seafood. In many countries, there is less demand for seafood imports, so people's willingness to buy them has decreased. 。As a result, seafood** has dropped significantly.
2. Policy impact.
The decline in seafood** is also related to policy regulation. Recently, China announced a ban on the import of seafood from Japan. As soon as this news came out, Japanese seafood*** fell by 30% in one day, and high-quality tuna in the past fell by 24%.
The reason why Japan's ban has had such a big impact on seafood ** is that Japan is Japan's largest seafood export market, with an export value of 87.1 billion yen last year.
The ** of Japanese seafood ** has also brought a chain reaction, and China's seafood ** has also declined.
03.Expert: Seafood is safe.
However, although the ban has had some impact on China's seafood market, the biggest impact is on Japan and South Korea. Due to the nuclear contamination incident in Japan, there is a large backlog of local seafood. Many fishermen began to panic, and many of them lost their jobs.
As a neighbor of Japan, South Korea has a well-developed seafood market economy. However, due to the impact of Japan's sewage discharge, the local seafood market fell into a depression. Residents are no longer afraid to eat seafood. Many seafood markets are empty.
It is understood that the sales volume of South Korean seafood fell by more than 50% year-on-year, causing losses to more than 90,000 aquatic product merchants.
Of course, China, a neighbor of Japan and South Korea, expects nuclear sewage to enter our territorial waters within 240 days. This makes many consumers very nervous. They were afraid that they would not be able to eat clean and fresh seafood in the future, so they began to "revenge consumption". As a result, seafood sales have skyrocketed.
It is foreseeable that Japan's nuclear discharge will have a huge impact on China's aquatic product market. You must know that the scale of China's seafood market is as high as 700 billion yuan, and there are more than 15,000 related catering enterprises, involving breeding, fishing, deep processing, fishing and other fields. Tools, feed companies and other industrial chains valued at trillions.
In addition, seafood is highly substitutive. Many people can go without seafood for the rest of their lives. It will not have any impact on their lives, but it will be a fatal blow to the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the aquaculture industry.
However, many netizens said that they dare not eat seafood no matter how cheap it is. Who knows if the safety of seafood is guaranteed.
In fact, the impact of discharging nuclear wastewater into the ocean is manifold. Japan's plans are expected to last 30 years, which means that seafood will not be safe to eat for a long time to come.
But don't worry too much. Chen Xinjun, a professor at Shanghai Ocean University, said that there is no need to worry about the safety of aquatic products. As long as the seafood is circulated in the Chinese market, it must have been strictly tested and can be eaten with confidence.
Since Japan announced its entry into the sea, China has strictly controlled seafood near the source of pollution in Japan. We will continue to strengthen supervision and conduct long-term follow-up research on marine organisms and ecosystems to provide data for follow-up research and ensure the quality of seafood in the market. Seafood can be eaten safely and healthily.
04.Is spring coming for freshwater fish?
Recently, seafood** has stagnated, but freshwater fish** has ushered in a steady growth momentum. At present, nearly 20 kinds of popular freshwater fish such as grass carp, mandarin fish, white shrimp, grouper, raw fish, crayfish, etc., have appeared, with a maximum of 5 yuan catty.
1.Guiyu. In the past half a month, as the new fish in Guangdong began to go on the market, the mandarin fish continued. It is believed that the mandarin fish market has bottomed out. Unexpectedly, affected by seafood, mandarin fish** has soared in the past few days. Some traders even increased the price to collect fish, and even reached 53 yuan catty.
Specifically, Guangzhou 12 kg of new fish ** is 41 yuan per catty, 14 kg of new fish** is 44 yuan per catty; Jiangsu new fish** is 45 yuan jin, standard fish** is 58 yuan jin; In the two lakes and Anhui areas, the standard fish ** is 45 yuan per catty. The price of fish** to 54 yuan per catty.
2. Blackfish. Recently, the market for black fish has also been very stable. Its national average ** is 8 per catty4 yuan, 12% month-on-month. Among them, 5-6 catties of black fish ** within a week ** more than 2 yuan. This increase has made many farmers very happy.
At present, the black fish in the Pearl River Delta region is on the rise. In order to grab the big fish, many dealers have opened a ** of 12 yuan per catty. Seeing the black fish, many farmers began to hesitate, thinking that the black fish will continue in the future.
Specifically, Foshan, Guangdong 5The ** of 5 catties is 12 yuan per catty, and the factory purchase price of 1-2 catties is 6 yuan per catty. In Zhejiang, the three heads above 3 catties are 9 per catty$3.
Overall, the black fish market is relatively stable, consumers are more willing to pay, and market sales have increased significantly. It is expected that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be difficult for the black fish ** to fall.
3. Yellow catfish.
Recently, the market for yellow catfish has also been very impressive. As a delicious fish, it has always been popular in the market, so it is also relatively strong.
Specifically, Guangzhou Foshan 4 taels ** is 11 yuan per catty, 5 taels is 12 yuan per catty, and 6 taels is 12 yuan per catty$8. The 4-inch rice ** in Huzhou is 115 yuan per catty; Hubei Zhijiang 65 inches ** is 11$5; Nanning 7 inch ** is 115 yuan jin; And Sichuan's 5-inch ** is 11 yuan a catty.
In fact, the freshwater fish market is mainly due to the turbulent changes in the seafood market. Many consumers have changed their mindset and see freshwater fish as an alternative to seafood. It is expected that the spring of freshwater fish will come next, and the freshwater fish industry will remain in the market in the future. There's a lot of room for growth. What do you think about this?
