Seafood prepared dishes have become a new business card of Dalian aquatic products processing industry

Walking into the product R&D laboratory of Dalian Ruichi Group, the aroma of food wafts in the air, and food R&D engineers are methodically developing
various seafood prepared dishes.

From creative design to R&D testing, and market launch, a dish has to go through hundreds of debugging and thousands of tastings before it can be finalized
.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 100 new prepared vegetable products have come out
of seven series.
In the past three years, the company's prepared dishes have not only been sold in the domestic market, but also sold to Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places
.

The epidemic has had a huge impact on Dalian's aquatic products industry, especially the export processing industry, and many enterprises are considering how to break through during the epidemic and how to transform and upgrade
in the market changes.
Building a trillion-yuan prefabricated vegetable industry cluster has become an important starting point
for the transformation and upgrading of Dalian seafood enterprises.
Deng Entang, chairman of Dalian Ruichi Group, who has been working in the aquatic processing industry for a long time, said that Dalian has unique conditions for developing the seafood prepared vegetable industry, and the 2,200-kilometer coastline spans the Huangbohai Sea, which is an advantage
that other cities in China cannot compare.
The abundant high-quality seafood at 39° north latitude provides very good ingredients
for Dalian's prepared vegetable industry.
In addition, Dalian has a seafood processing base with a very strong industrial foundation, which is the world's seafood distribution center
.
The Sea of Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, Hokkaido, Japan, including Alaska in the United States, some seafood will enter Dalian and be sold around the world
after deep processing.
The advantages of fishery production and distribution have laid a very good foundation
for the transformation and upgrading of Dalian aquatic processing enterprises and the development of the prepared vegetable industry.

In September 2022, the Dalian Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a special meeting to study and promote the development of the prepared vegetable industry, and set up a special work class to carry out special coordination and supervision, plan and promote the development of various work
in the prepared vegetable industry 。 The special class drafted the "Eight Measures to Promote the Development of Prepared Vegetable Industry in Dalian" from eight aspects: supporting the construction of industrial bases, supporting enterprise transformation and upgrading, supporting scientific research and technology research, supporting local transformation of achievements, supporting the establishment of standard systems, supporting brand building, supporting the development of market tracks, and supporting diversified investment and financing services, and prepared an action plan according to the goal of doubling in three years in combination with the preliminary situation of each county and district, and strive to achieve an output value of 300 billion yuan
in the prepared vegetable industry by 2025.

On October 27th, the "China Prepared Vegetable Industry Science and Technology Innovation Conference" hosted by Dalian Municipal People's Government and China Society of Food Science and Technology, and undertaken by Dalian Marine Development Bureau and Dalian Polytechnic University was held
in Dalian International Financial Center.
Many domestic experts and scholars, including 6 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, have provided suggestions for the development of
Dalian's prepared vegetable industry.

Everyone agreed that Dalian has rich seafood resources, a long processing history, strong cold chain processing, storage and transportation capabilities, and complete technology related to prepared vegetables
.
Based on abundant seafood resources, taking seafood prepared dishes as a breakthrough, and striving to build "China's seafood prepared vegetable industry capital", it will effectively promote the transformation and upgrading
of Dalian's marine food industry to marine food industry.
Li Yuzhong, vice president of the China National Light Industry Federation, said at the meeting that the China Light Industry Federation will work with the Dalian Municipal People's Government to cultivate and build "China's seafood prepared vegetable industry capital"
.

In the next step, the special class will guide Dalian County to rely on the major prefabricated vegetable processing parks under planning and construction, benchmark the head enterprises of prefabricated vegetable processing, and carry out investment promotion
.
At the same time of "bringing in", we organized prefabricated vegetable enterprises to "go out" to set up prefabricated vegetable experience centers, and carried out exhibitions and promotions in 20 cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing
.
Let the "Lianwei Zhengxi" Dalian seafood prefabricated dishes go out of Dalian, to the whole country and to the world
.
