Guangdong Province's export of aquatic products declined in the first three quarters of this year

Introduction: according to the latest statistics of the customs, in the first three quarters of this year, Guangdong Province exported 156 thousand tons of aquatic products, worth 350 million US dollars, down 13.5% and 10.6% respectively from the same period last year According to a person from the Customs Statistics Department, exports fell in the first eight months, with the deepest decline in September He said that in addition to the growth in June, the remaining eight months have declined in varying degrees, with the cumulative export volume and value falling by 16.9% and 14.0% respectively Among them, exports in September were 20000 tons, worth US $500 million, down 24.9% and 33.6% respectively He said that in the first three quarters of this year, Guangdong Province's export of aquatic products involved 62 tax items, down 10 from the same period last year, and the export volume of 32 tax items decreased or no export In Guangdong Province, the export of famous seafood frozen shrimp was only 16000 tons, down 34.5%; the export of frozen eel was only 468 tons, down 43.6% In addition, although the number of export markets has increased slightly this year, it is still difficult to make up for the sharp decline in exports to Hong Kong According to statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, Guangdong exported aquatic products to 44 countries (regions), an increase of 12.8% However, Hong Kong, whose export value accounts for nearly 50% of the total market share, declined by 17.5%, and the overall export performance was still poor According to the customs, from 2001 to 2004, the export of aquatic products in Guangdong Province increased by more than 15% every year However, in 2005, the export of aquatic products has experienced twists and turns Influenced by a series of events, such as the anti-dumping duty imposed by the United States on frozen shrimps in China, the new regulations on drug residues of imported animal products (including aquatic products) imposed by the new EU resolution, and the exposure of the illegal use of malachite green by some eel farmers in the aquaculture process, Guangdong's aquatic products export has declined, facing unprecedented challenges.
