The fishing season of the South China Sea lasted from May 16 to August 1 this year. More than half of it has been reported. Reporters interviewed Guangming Market, Kuchong Market and Nanxia Market of Zhongshan District in the past two days. There has been a decrease in the previous period, but the price of most aquatic products is basically the same as that before the fishing moratorium, and even the prices of some mid-to-high-end aquatic products are uncharacteristically, not rising but falling. RMB / kg, now 100 RMB / kg is difficult to sell.
At more than 9 a.m. on July 6, the reporter came to the urban bright market with wholesale aquatic products. At this time, the busiest wholesale business in the market has basically closed. The next step is retail business for individual tourists. The bosses of various stalls, while sorting out the short-sold aquatic product containers, greet the citizens of the past to purchase their own aquatic products. After visiting the market, the reporter found that the stock of aquatic products in various stalls is still not small, but not many citizens came to buy.
"So good nine belly fish is 13 yuan per catty? Is it expensive? Did you know that this kind of fish was sold for more than 20 yuan a catty a year or two ago? Now that the market is poor, the price is expensive." A fishery The boss answered the reporter's inquiry.
The reporter asked the boss: "The number of listings during the off-season has decreased, and the selling price should be higher. Why is it cheaper?" The boss said frankly: "Now the restaurant business is poor, and the public is reluctant to buy it. You see today Monday How many customers are there to help? "
The reporter saw in the market that the yellow bone fish was priced at 22 yuan / kg, the nine-bellied fish 26 yuan / kg, the larger shrimps 80 yuan / kg, the prawns 60 yuan / kg, and the larger crabs 60 yuan /kg. Many stall owners told reporters that since the fishing season this year, the number of seafood products on the market has indeed decreased, but in the past two years, the economic environment is not good, the public's demand for medium and high-end aquatic products has decreased, and the local freshwater in the Pearl River Delta The increasing number of farmed aquatic products on the market has given citizens more choices. Therefore, the prices of most aquatic products are stable, and there has been no obvious price increase in the previous fishing moratorium period. The prices of many mid-to-high-end aquatic products have even fallen.
"This year's business is very difficult to do!" At a stall on the side of Shenghui's aquatic market in this market, the boss Mr. Ren packed a large pile of meat crabs into 3 white foam boxes and made a lid with bamboo sticks. Press on the meat crab, and then tie up a box of meat crabs with sealing glue. Mr. Ren told reporters that his meat crabs are all high-quality goods of 0.25 kg / piece and some even reach 0.4 kg / piece. The source of the goods is from the Guangzhou Huangsha Aquatic Products Wholesale Market. His stalls specialize in meat crabs, cream crabs, and crabs. Many well-known restaurants and hotels in Zhongshan are his regular customers. In the past years, he bought at least 1.5 tons every day, and generally sold out at 8 am. Over 90%. "In the past two years, it has been difficult to do business. The purchase volume of many regular customers has decreased significantly, forcing my purchase volume to also decrease, and the price has also dropped. This year, I only dare to buy 1 ton of goods every day. Sold out, but the business is very poor from Monday to Thursday. In the past two years, such big meat crabs sold at least 70 yuan, but now they ca n’t sell at 50 yuan. These three boxes of crabs are at least 70 or 80 pounds, and they can only stay. Continue to sell tomorrow. "
In an interview with our reporter, Zhiming He, manager of Guangming Market Management Office, said that after the fishing moratorium started in May this year, the daily arrival volume of seafood products in the market has decreased significantly. According to incomplete statistics, the daily arrival volume in June has decreased compared with before the fishing closure About 30%. Although the number of seafood products on the market has decreased, it has not driven up the price of the entire aquatic product market. The reason is that the consumption of San Gong has declined in recent years, leading to a drop in hotel demand. The weak economic environment has also caused citizens to reduce their demand for high-end aquatic products, and the market's main consumer focus has shifted to low- and mid-level aquatic products. Judging from the market monitoring data, the prices of various aquatic products such as yellow croaker, red fish, mud fierce, sun fish, crab, prawn and other shrimps are basically the same; from the perspective of consumption trends in this market, the current high-end aquatic products wholesale and Retail, transition to wholesale and retail of low-end aquatic products. The market management office is currently planning to establish a WeChat public platform to help market operators complete the transformation and provide citizens with more market services
