    -Canada sea urchin exports
     
    The Pacific Sea Urchin Fishing Association, which represents sea urchin fishermen in the Northwest United States and Western Canada, wants to increase exports
    to Singapore.
     
    The Pacific Sea Urchin Catchers Association (PUHA) Geoff Krause said during the Asian Seafood Expo (SEA) held at Singapore's Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 14-16, 2022, that its members have been increasing exports to a number of different markets in Asia, with Japan previously accounting for 90% of exports and now only 50%.

     
    Geoff Krause believes that the Asian market remains crucial for sea urchin exports, and face-to-face events held in the region help build relationships
    with buyers.
    Japan has always been the largest export market for sea urchins, but at present the Asian region is a more developed export region
    .
     
    The decline in Japan's share of total exports is not due to lower demand, but to increased
    sales to other regions.
    In the case of Hong Kong, China, the association's corporate revenues have increased significantly, with sea urchin exports to Hong Kong increasing from $150,000 ($112,000) a year in the past to $4.
    5 million ($3.
    36 million)
    today.
     
    Geoff Krause said that last year, we conducted a large number of live urchin marketing activities in China, Chinese consumers have a great preference for fresh food, and at the same time, sea urchin sales in the Korean market are also increasing
    .
     
    The Pacific Sea Urchin Catchers Association (PUHA) is an industry association founded in 1994 that includes 110 British Columbia red urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) licensees and 49 green sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) licensees
