Analysis Of The Marine Food Industry

The ocean occupies 71% of the earth's surface and is rich in resources. Marine species account for more than 80% of the world's species and can provide 15% of the protein source for humans. The ability of marine organisms to provide food for human beings is equivalent to 1,000 times that of all cultivated land in the world. It is an important source of food and pharmaceutical raw materials and is known as the "blue granary".There are various types of marine food, including fresh seafood such as fish and shellfish, as well as canned food, pickled and smoked products, fish oil, algal polysaccharide, etc. Processed foods and health supplements, as well as condiments such as seafood seasoning sea salt. With the development of the times, the forms of marine food in new market segments such as ready-to-cook products, pre-made dishes, and functional foods that have evolved to meet consumer demand have gradually enriched.

my country is the world's major producer of aquatic products, and the total output of aquatic products ranks first in the world. In 2020, my country's aquatic product output will be 65.49 million tons, accounting for more than 40% of the world's total output, and processed aquatic products will be 20.67 million tons, of which frozen products are processed. The amount reached 14.759 million tons, accounting for 71.4% of the processed aquatic products.

In the whole category of aquatic products, the output of marine products is 33.144 million tons, accounting for about 51% of the total aquatic products. The processing volume of marine products is 16.793 million tons, of which the processing volume of frozen products reaches 14.759 million tons, accounting for 88% of the processing volume of marine products. %.

Affected by the epidemic, the production scale has gradually recovered after the decline, showing a state of fluctuating growth. In general, the supply side has seen a steady increase in production, and frozen products are still the main processing type.

With the improvement of the breeding environment, ecological protection, overfishing, supply-side reform, industry adjustment and many other factors in the industry, the number of related enterprises and the peak processing output were concentrated in 2015-2017, and then gradually declined and fluctuated. From 2015 to 2019, the number of fishing boats in my country decreased by 312,300, the area of marine aquaculture decreased by 326,000 hectares, and the number of processing enterprises decreased by 340.
