1. Many batches of imported white shrimp were destroyed
According to the "Information on Food Not Allowed to Enter the Country in May 2021" released by the General Administration of Customs a few days ago, in May, the national customs detected 22 batches of frozen food that were unqualified for safety and health projects and did not enter the country in the port supervision link, reaching 1072.9 tons, a record high. Frozen fish products have become the protagonists of frozen food that has not been allowed to enter the country, accounting for 81%.
On the other hand, frozen South American white shrimp still maintains its consistent "style" - "may be late, but will not be absent". In May, 3 batches of frozen South American white shrimp products totaling 77.52 tons were banned from entry, 67% higher than the 46.5 tons in April!
The reasons for the non-entry are that a batch of frozen white shrimp from Malaysia "did not provide certificates or qualification certification materials as required", accounting for 62% of the white shrimp that were not allowed to enter the country; the second was the headache of "detecting animal diseases", 2 batches from Ecuador, the quantity was 29.5 tons, the manufacturers were INDUSTRIAL PESQUERA SANTA PRISCILA S.A. (Santa) - appeared on this list for two consecutive months; EXPALSA EXPORTADORA DE ALIMENTOS SA - ITS BRAND WONDER ACE, IS ALSO A WELL KNOWN BRAND FOR DOMESTIC IMPORTERS.
Eradicating shrimp disease is not a day's work, and under the same probability, the more factories with large shipments, the more they become the focus of attention when accidents occur - although you and I both know that the quality of large factories should be more secure.
2. A number of famous Enterprises of Ersme shrimp have been suspended from filing
The problem of shrimp disease occurs every month, and it has been said that it is tired, and the problem of the new crown epidemic still needs to be vigilant.
At the moment of the epidemic, the customs has strengthened the nucleic acid testing of the new crown virus while maintaining normal inspections, according to the statistics released by the customs, in May, the customs announced on May 8, 21 and 18 in the daily routine sampling inspection: due to the positive nucleic acid of the outer packaging of white shrimp imported from Ecuador, the import declaration of the manufacturer of the batch of white shrimp was suspended for 1 week. Among them, the Ecuadorian aquatic products manufacturer CULTIVO Y EXPORTACION ACUICOLA CEAEXPORT S.A. (registration number 7057), on May 8 and 28 was suspended twice, more seriously, the 7057 factory on June 18, again for the same reason was suspended declaration, this time for 4 weeks! Before and after, the impact is at least 3 months of trading.
Coincidentally, just 20 days after June, the Operadora y Procesadora de Productos Marinos Omarsa S.A. (registration number 477) was also banned for one week for being positive for nucleic acids, only half a month apart!
However, the industry can also be very clearly perceived, nowadays, although there are white shrimp due to positive nucleic acid in the outer packaging of the situation is destroyed or returned, manufacturers are suspended from declaring, but importers said that this "ban" in fact has less impact on the sales of the market, on the one hand, consumers are more rational, on the other hand, the price of shrimp rose rapidly, if you panic, then in addition to causing market chaos, there is no other benefit.
In the 23rd week (June 7-13), the pond price of white shrimp of all sizes in Ecuador rose across the board, with the highest increase of nearly 13%, which was 70-80 size shrimp, and the price per kilogram rose from $3.1 to $3.5, and the price of other mainstream shrimp was as follows:
30-40pcs/kg: $6.00/KG
40-50pcs/kg: $5.20/KG
50-60pcs/kg: $4.65/KG
60-70pcs/kg: $4.00/KG
Domestic shrimp prices are affected by the rise in raw shrimp prices and sea freight rates, from the average price of $5.5 ~ 6, broke through to $7, has been rising for nearly a month!
3. The import of warm water shrimp is flat, and the proportion of Ersand shrimp has declined
The main source countries of China's imports of warm water shrimp are Ecuador, India, Vietnam and Indonesia. Customs data show that the proportion of Erprae shrimp in the total import of warm water shrimp fell from 60% last month to 56% in May. In May, in addition to the decline in imports of Prawn, the other three source countries all rose slightly, one by one, just at the level of April.
But in the three-year longitudinal comparison of 2019/2020/2021, the import volume of warm shrimp in May this year was the lowest, down 22% from May last year.
Judging from the curve of import data, this year is closer to the trend of "first suppressing and then rising" in 2019, and 2020 is an accident, so it seems that the import demand in the second half of the year is greater. Chinese consumers prefer large-sized leading shrimp, but due to conditions, local shrimp is difficult to achieve the quality of Er shrimp, very dependent on imports, at the same time, large-size shrimp scarcity is now the problem facing the global shrimp industry, Indian shrimp industry is difficult to fully recover for a while, Indian shrimp in June will continue to decrease, "with the best breeding environment, the shortest production cycle and the most stable supply" Of Er shrimp have the opportunity to provoke the girder of global white shrimp supply, and the world is about to enter the battle for prawns!
