Introduction: first, the output of aquatic products increased steadily in the first half of the year The output of aquatic products in China was 20.29 million tons, 3.5% higher than that of the same period last year Among them, the output of fresh water products was 9.18 million tons, 5.1% higher than that of the same period last year The output of marine fishing products was 5.92 million tons, 0.09% lower than that of the same period last year The output of marine aquaculture products was 5.19 million tons, 4.9% higher than that of the same II The growth rate of consumer price of aquatic products slows down, and the trend of urban and rural market convergence is obvious From January to may, the national consumer price rose by 2.4% compared with the same period last year, of which the increase of food price was only next to the increase of housing price, reaching 4.8%, and the increase of rural food price was 0.1% higher than that of urban; the consumption price of aquatic products rose by 9.1% compared with the same period last year, which was higher than that of food price, next to meat and poultry and its production Commodity price and egg price increase Although the consumer price of aquatic products rose in the first half of the year compared with the same period last year, the monthly increase was lower than that in the same month last year Especially after February, the rise of aquatic product consumer price fell back As of the end of May, the consumer price of aquatic product residents was basically the same as that of the same period last year The consumption prices of urban residents and farmers show an obvious trend of convergence, which shows that the trend of urban and rural market unification has gradually emerged According to the changes of consumer price index of aquatic products in recent five years, there is a great difference between January and may The consumption price of aquatic products in each month before 2004 was lower than that in the same period of last year, and the consumption price of aquatic products was in an absolute downward trend from 1998 to 2004 In 2004, the consumer price of aquatic products began to recover, and the increase remained at a relatively high level within one year However, from January to May 2005, the growth of consumer prices slowed down Analysis of the reasons, in addition to the fact that the market supply is sufficient and the price cannot rise fully, the consumer demand of the residents is not strong, especially the demand of the rural market is always in a weak state, which is an important reason why the consumer price of aquatic products cannot maintain high growth III The wholesale market price of aquatic products increased by 5.7% year on year According to the price monitoring data of 49 aquatic products in 72 aquatic products wholesale markets of China Fisheries government network, the wholesale market price of aquatic products increased by 5.7% year on year in the first half of the year, of which the price of sea water products increased by 8.8%, while the price of fresh water products increased by 1.9% In the first half of the year, the prices in all months increased compared with the previous month, except that the prices in March and June decreased compared with the previous month, reflecting the overall upward trend of the wholesale market price of aquatic products in the first half of the year From January to June, the price of aquatic products wholesale market increased or decreased by 7.3%, 8.2%, - 1.9%, 1.2%, 2.4% and - 1.2% respectively The prices of all kinds of sea water products have increased year on year, among which cephalopods and seaweeds have increased the most, reaching 24.5% and 25.8% respectively The wholesale market prices of marine fish, crustaceans and shellfish increased by 9.9%, 3.7% and 5.5% year on year respectively Looking at the prices of the wholesale markets of seawater products in the first half of the year, we can see that the market performance of various varieties is different In the first half of this year, the sea water fish, shellfish and seaweed products basically maintained a relatively stable change, with little monthly fluctuation The wholesale market price growth of crustacean products has basically declined month by month, and after entering the second quarter, the absolute price has declined On the contrary, the wholesale market price of cephalopod products fell continuously in the first five months, but the decline gradually decreased In June, it finally stopped falling and recovered, 14.7 percentage points higher than that in May The price of fresh water products increased slightly year on year, among which the wholesale market price of fresh water fish products increased by 6.6 percentage points year on year, the wholesale market price of other fresh water products increased by 1.9 percentage points, while the price of fresh water crustacean products fell sharply, down by 24.2% compared with the same period last year From the perspective of market performance in each month, the price of freshwater fish products rose all the way from January to may, but the increase has been low In June, the price of freshwater fish wholesale market fell slightly compared with that of last month, because most of the freshwater fish were listed in the pond, resulting in excessive supply The wholesale market prices of crustacean products in March, April and June are all lower than that in the previous month From the curve trend, the monthly price fluctuations are very frequent In recent years, the wholesale market price of freshwater crustacean products has been in a period of shock adjustment In the first half of this year, the price dropped by 24.2% year on year, mainly driven by the decline in the price of crab products 4 The import and export of aquatic products increased by a large margin, which was higher than the export According to the statistics of the State Customs, the total export of aquatic products in January may was 2.917 billion US dollars, 21.9% higher than that in the same period last year, and the export volume was 1.115 million tons, 18.1% higher than that in the same period last year The price of aquatic products for export increased The total import volume was US $1.55 billion, up 47.5% year-on-year, and the import volume was 1.507 million tons, up 39.7% year-on-year The import growth was significantly higher than the export growth (1) the export of aquatic products is still dominated by Japan, accounting for 42.0%, followed by South Korea, accounting for 15.3% China's exports to Japan, the United States, South Korea and the European Union accounted for 82.4% of the total exports of aquatic products The year-on-year growth rate of EU and South Korea was the highest, 47.2% and 38.6% respectively In the first half of the year, the year-on-year growth rate of aquatic products exports to Japan was not large, only 11.9%, the lowest over the years; the proportion of exports to the United States did not change much, with a growth rate of 19.2%, accounting for 13.3% of total aquatic products exports (2) frozen fish and preserved fish (roasted eel) are still the main export species, accounting for 31.0% of the total export value of aquatic products, while fish (mainly roasted eel) produced or preserved accounts for 21.2%, and crustaceans produced or preserved account for 18.1% Among them, the largest increase in exports was that of crustaceans made or preserved, with an increase of 44.6% and that of fresh and cold fish, with an increase of 42.1% Roasted eel is still the main export species in China In the first half of the year, roasted eel exported 366 million US dollars, accounting for 12.5% of the total export of aquatic products in China However, compared with the same period last year, the export of baked eel in China decreased by 1.4 percentage points, and the export amount of frozen shrimp decreased by more than 40.7 percentage points.
