Russia's "Freedom**" article on March 2, original title: It's time for everyone to taste the deliciousness of crabs, but in China, not Russia Recently, there was a report in China**: During the Spring Festival, the shelves of China's major supermarkets and markets were filled with all kinds of high-quality goods from all over the world. After careful selection, Wang Chengfu, a 66-year-old resident of Shanxi Province, bought a 25 kg of imported Kamchatka crabs. "Kamchatka crabs are distinguished by their high quality and unique taste, and I intend to make one for children," said the retired resident. ”
Reading this report, many Russian retirees were taken aback, because most of them have long forgotten the taste of Kamchatka crab and can only think of this seafood from distant childhood memories. At that time, shops in the major cities of the Far East were full of this delicacy. Now it is difficult for them to buy these crabs in nearby stores, because they are mainly used for export.
"During the 6th China International Fishery and Fishery Technology Expo, as well as the 26th China International Fisheries Expo, representatives of Chinese enterprises showed great interest in increasing imports of Russian products," said Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Fisheries Service of the Russian Federation, at the end of last year. We see good prospects for development and are actively working to expand the export of crab varieties to China and Southeast Asian countries. We began to promote frozen crab products in a planned way, and we are also working to increase the export of deep-processed products. ”
According to Russia's Service for Consumer Protection and Public Welfare Supervision, more than 900 Russian companies have been allowed to export seafood to China, and this number is expected to increase further. Russian domestic businessmen do not hide their plans - they want to replace Japanese seafood in China. Due to the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan has lost the Chinese market. China is constantly expanding the variety of seafood on people's tables. Russian experts estimate that 70 to 80 percent of Russia's fish exports go to China.
Anyone who has been to China knows that fish and a variety of seafood can be eaten in almost any street restaurant. In addition, China continues to develop a network of local markets, allowing agricultural products to enter the market directly, bypassing middlemen. China has also widely promoted farmed fish and seafood throughout the country. (Written by Mikhail Morozov, translated by Liu Yupeng).
