White shrimp price rises above 500 yuan? Fisheries Department: Taitung is a special case

According to the Fisheries Department, the annual production of white shrimp in China is about 9,282 metric tons, of which Taitung white shrimp accounts for only 2% of the annual production. The local sales of live shrimp, coupled with pure marine culture, are relatively high. The Taitung white shrimp mentioned in this report is about 25 fish per catty, which is larger than the common specifications of 50 to 60 fish per catty on the market. It is a special commodity with larger body size and less production volume.

The Fisheries Department pointed out that the average price of white shrimp in 13 wholesale markets in China in the second week before the festival was stable from 50 to 60 per catty, at 221 yuan per kilogram, up slightly by 10% from 200.8 yuan per kilogram in the same period in 107.

In response to the 10% increase in white shrimp, the Fisheries Department explained that the annual market demand is strong, the prices of aquatic products are rising, and popular aquatic products will rise by about 10% on average, which is a short-term phenomenon. In addition, western white shrimp are mostly harvested and frozen in the first few months. The domestic frozen shrimp supply is abundant. If there is a shortage of frozen shrimp, the increase may be several times. At present, the increase is still within a reasonable range.

The market will not close until the ninth day of the lunar new year. There will be no continuous market closure.
