At the end of June, the first batch of more than 300 kg of Kenyan deep-sea anchovy exported to China was unveiled at the 3rd China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo held in Changsha, Hunan Province.
The Chinese factory in Kenya relies on abundant local fishery resources to collect raw materials from seven nearby fishing villages, and currently has a planned capacity of about 200 tons per day.
As we all know, the earth is a water balloon, and the ocean resources are quite rich. Let's not talk about the lovely blue star today.
Anchovy can live and thrive both in the ocean and in fresh water, so we can call it "amphibian". It is found in southern China, the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. It has a long, flat shape, a silvery-white body, small scales, delicious flesh and rich nutrition. Anchovy is an important economic fish and one of the traditional Chinese cuisines. That's right, we produce anchovy in China, and the coastal anchovy is rich in resources, with a total of more than 2.8 million tons, and can catch about 500,000 tons per year. With a lifespan of 3 to 4 years, each female anchovy can bear 8,000-24,000 eggs, especially capable of giving birth. Anchovy also possess a strange biological property, and if you don't catch them, about 40% of the anchovy will die automatically in the sea every year. So if you don't eat it, it's wasted.
Anchovy is small, but its nutritional value is high. The nutritional value of anchovy is also higher than that of beef.
In the past, anchovy rotted out of the water, and with the development of technology, this is no longer a problem
Many of the small dried fish we see in supermarkets may be anchovy.
Since we produce anchovy, why import anchovy from Kenya?
Kenya is a vibrant and multicultural country located in East Africa. Kenya's poverty rate is as high as more than 40%, helping to develop the country is what we China has been doing, and secondly, China is a country with a large population, this kind of good thing, of course, is popular, good quality and cheap,
In fact, many types of fish are also imported in other countries, and China's love of food is engraved in the bones, as long as there are more certainty, the price will be cheaper. Sit back and wait for anchovy to sit at a discount
