(reader's letter) incorrect information about fishmeal in an article

Introduction: (reader's letter) the error message about fishmeal in an article "editor's note: a letter from a keen reader has been received on a Japanese website, pointing out that there are some discrepancies in an article about fishmeal in the world that is being spread on the Internet We welcome those who have different opinions to write and discuss China feed industry information network! Attached is an article reprinted from Reuters in an exclusive report on a feed website 2001-10-29 received from the Internet ("Chile Peru will submit a dispute with the EU on fish meal to the WTO") I found that there are many mistakes, so I would like to make some comments here to avoid misleading my domestic friends The annual export of fish meal from Peru should be between 2 / 3000000 tons (the peak was 6000000 tons), instead of 380000 tons JKR 2 Chile's annual export should be about 1000000 tons, and it has also exceeded 3000000 tons Before, the largest production area was in the north central part Ten years of Hedong, ten years of Hexi, now the fish in the north have gone to Peru, but the South has become the main production area However, the total export volume has greatly decreased in more than ten years In the world ranking from the first to the second 3 The world's total output should be about 6000000 tons, but the export volume has decreased in recent years The reason is very simple Several large-scale producing countries have reserved fish meal for their own use - as aquatic feed 4 Most of the Chilean and Peruvian fish meal is exported to Asia, mainly from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, rather than the text 5 If Peru's annual fish meal export revenue is 7 billion US dollars, divided by their reported export volume of 380000 tons, the export unit price / FOB per ton should be around us $18421 / ton, who can afford it? JKR wishes qiuan and the work goes well JKR reader Haiwen JKR JKR attached original text: JKR Chile Peru will submit the dispute with EU on fish meal to WTO 2001-10-29 08:00 Reuters JKR Peru and Chile occupy the first two places in the world fish meal production, will jointly attack the restrictions imposed by EU on its fish meal in the World Trade Organization That's what the leader of a private sector said Wednesday In December 2000, EU-15 countries imposed a one-year ban on the import of fish meal from the two countries because of concerns about the possible spread of BSE or bovine spongiform encephalopathy Cristian Jara, manager of the National Fisheries Association of Chile, told Reuters, "Chile and Peru are the two major countries exporting fish meal, so we decided to take joint action to solve the current problem quickly." According to JKR Jara, the EU ban is not supported by scientific basis, and Peruvian officials asked for arbitration of EU restrictions at the World Trade Organization at the beginning of the year, because they think the ban constitutes an unfair trade barrier "All EU officials have acknowledged that there is no possibility of BSE being transmitted by fish meal," he said But we do not understand why the ban should be maintained The initial reason for this is said to be hysteria caused by mad cow disease " Latin America is the least affected by BSE in the world because of the origin and production system of the fish meal industry, according to the JKR United Nations report JKR fish meal is mainly used for feed of cattle, poultry, pigs and fish JKR Japan, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands are the countries most affected by BSE JKR BSE first reached epidemic proportions in the UK, causing worldwide panic, leading to trade restrictions on cattle and animal feed, and large-scale slaughter of livestock believed to be infected by BSE JKR consultation the two countries will hold joint consultation with the EU, which is also the first step of the WTO's trade dispute mediation process If a friendly settlement of the dispute cannot be reached, the world trade organization will set up a committee to investigate the matter Peru is the world's largest producer of fish meal, shipping 380000 tons of fish meal annually, while Chile exports 100000 tons of fish meal annually The total output of fish meal in the world is estimated to be 3 million tons JKR Chile is negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union Most of the fish meal from JKR and Japan is exported to Asia, mainly China, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand Even though EU restrictions are set to end in December, Jara said there is no guarantee that the ban will be lifted "Brussels's bureaucracy means instability," he said Unlike the price of copper and wood pulp, the other two main Chilean exports, the price of fish meal has risen this year Chile sold fish meal in October at an average price of $555 a tonne, up from $441 a tonne at the start of the year JKR fishery is the second largest source of Peru's export income, with an annual income of 7 billion US dollars Jkr Jkr
