Is it easy to transform a fish fillet processing plant? Fish fillet export and certification for longer-term operation how to do

Taiwan's aquaculture technology is famous all over the world, but when the domestic market is limited, many aquaculture farmers look overseas. However, to market goods abroad, it is not just the ability to control production and quality. In order to obtain orders, internationally certified entry tickets are also a challenge. Taiwan's well-known bream fillet processors have long worked with farmers to improve the environment and equipment of the processing plants to win export orders. The operators say, "if we don't do it at this time, it will be a serious injury to the long-term operation of the cooperative."

It is not easy to transform the   fish fillet processing plant with stable supply.

"when we first talked to the fishermen about the contract, some fishmongers would tell the fishermen that they would get the money very late when they were handed over to the processing plant, and that it would take a long time for a pool of fish to be finished." Wang Yifeng, general manager of the Kouhu Fish production Cooperative, said that in the past, the trading mode of fresh fish was for farmers to sell to fishmongers and then to processing plants. A few years ago, in order to stabilize the source and price of acquisition, he wanted to break this trading model. I didn't expect to encounter these rumors, and some farmers will "change jobs" with price fluctuations. Later, the purchase price was adjusted up to slightly lower than the market price, and the acquisition and long-term cooperation were guaranteed to visit the farmers one by one before reaching the current scale of 1,000 hectares. "even if the market price is not good, we still maintain the contract price. because the channel price is stable, only by deed can the company operate forever."

Chen Junru, director of the Fisheries Research Institute, believes that because of Taiwan's narrow land and dense population and small industrial scale, if Taiwan wants to take the export route, it will encounter the problem of scale and cost, and the contract is a feasible way, but the risk of the contract lies in how the cooperative maintains a cooperative relationship with the contractor when the price is high. At present, the administrative departments do not have this part of the counselling measures, but the academic and public departments can help cultivate fish fry of different specifications which are suitable for processing and have a high meat extraction rate, so that processors can reduce the processing time of different specifications of fish meat and stabilize the quality of their products.

Endure the pain to do international verification   enterprises operate longer

Foreign consumers have more and more meticulous requirements for food, from drug safety, ecological circulation breeding to humane management, to expand the market will encounter management requirements. Wang Yifeng says that eight years ago, his father received a big order from an American businessman, and the manufacturer asked to inspect the dormitory for foreign workers. "do you also want to see the dormitory for foreign workers?" What do you want to see? " His father disagreed with this, coupled with the fact that no domestic processing plant had such experience at that time, so Wang Yifeng fell out with his father for this reason. He thought that if he did not do it at this time, it would be a serious injury to the long-term operation of the cooperative.

Now cooperatives still have to set up culture ponds that meet the BAP (Best Aquaculture Practice) certification of the best aquaculture code, in order to win foreign orders. "the United States is the largest market for Taiwan snapper fillets, so we can use this to verify that the price of Taiwan snapper fillets can be raised not only for US $3, but for NT $6 or $7." Wang Yifeng said that in the recent trade war between the United States and China, many Chinese fish fillet factories did not dare to produce rashly and were afraid of being unsalable, so the cooperative received a lot of calls asking about the supply of fish fillets, but because there were no tickets for BAP, not a single piece of fish fillet could be sold, so verification is an effort that should be done and must be done.
