Inside China Seafood Trade
By the Numbers 3
Top Ten Suppliers 4
Although China is not currently a large market for Canadian exports of
fish and seafood, its importance has been growing. From 2007 to 2009,
seafood exports to China doubled, accounting for a 7% share of
Canadian agricultural exports.
From a global perspective, China is a large importer of fish and seafood,
importing over CAD $4.1 billion in 2009, an increase of 3.5% from 2008.
However, its import values are dwarfed by countries with smaller
populations such as the U.S., as China is able to supply much of its own
demand. The country mainly imports its fish and seafood from Russia,
with 32.7% of total imports, followed by the U.S. (15.0%), Norway (7.4%)
and Japan (5.5%).
China’s main fish and seafood imports from all countries in 2009
included frozen fish with bones ($1.5B), frozen pacific salmon (excluding
fillets) ($427.4M), frozen cod (excl. fillets), ($366.8M), cuttle fish and
squid ($312.0M), frozen plaice (excl. fillets) ($170.5M), and frozen
shrimp and prawns ($147.6M).
In 2009, China exported just over $11.5B in fish and seafood
products worldwide, an increase of 6.5% from the previous year. Most of
China’s exports came from fish fillets and other fish meat ($3.5B),
crustaceans ($1.2B), and prepared or preserved fish ($1.2B). Top
destinations included Japan (25.5%), the U.S. (20%) and South Korea
(9.8%).
In 2009, Canada was the fifth-largest supplier of fish and seafood to China, with sales of $182.2M (based on Chinese import data). Fish and seafood exports to China have declined 7.7% from 2008 to 2009. Much of this decline can be attributed to a reduction in exports of frozen crab, down to $45.2M, frozen shrimp and prawns ($28.4M), frozen fish ($13.8M), frozen whiting and hake ($10.7M), and live, fresh or chilled molluscs ($10M).
In 2009, China received 6% of Canada’s fish and seafood exports, while the U.S received 63%, and Japan almost 7%.
For Canada, fish and seafood is the fourteenth most significant export sector to China, behind other commodities such as grain, woodpulp, ores, machinery, oil, plastic and wood. The fish and seafood sector represents just 2% of all products exported to China in 2009.
China is the top producer and
consumer of fish and seafood
products in the world.
