Recently, the inspection and quarantine department learned that in the first half of this year, the city imported a total of 1255 batches of aquatic products, with a value of 3 billion US dollars, up 37% and 43% respectively.

In terms of types of imports, in the first half of the year, shellfish and cephalopods (such as squid) were the main force for import growth, with a total import of about 1.5 billion US dollars, an increase of about 2.75 times. Among them, imported squid is 1.3 billion US dollars, accounting for 43.33% of the total value of imported aquatic products. The city mainly imports from Argentina, Chile and other countries.

Affected by factors such as the high price of squid in the international market last year and the increase in the production of squid abroad this year, the amount of squid imported by the city has increased significantly this year. The products still imported from our city are still processed and processed, and then exported to foreign countries after processing in China.

In view of the continuous growth of aquatic product imports in the first half of the year, the inspection and quarantine departments strengthened the process supervision and conducted quarterly supervision on export food production filing enterprises in accordance with the principle of “double randomness”. In addition to the enterprise quality management system, the import materials in the warehouse were imported. We will conduct random inspections and verification of finished products, and strive to create the “three most” ports with the fastest speed, lowest cost and best service.
