**Report Highlights:**

China\'s estimated 2003 seafood production should reach an astonishing
47 MMT with nearly 60 percent of production from aquaculture. Seafood
processors demand for both direct and bonded aquatic product imports
continues rising and nearly reached \$1.9 billion in 2003 while exports
surpassed \$5 billion. China imported \$133 million of U.S. seafood
products during 2003, a 26% increase from 2002. China's regulations on
product certification and hygiene could increase the cost of imported
products and impact trade.

# Executive Summary

This voluntary report updates production, consumption, trade, policy,
and marketing information from the April 2003 (CH3019) fishery product
situation and outlook report.

Although debate continues over China's reported seafood production,
current statistics show production increased three percent to 47 million
metric tons (MMT) in 2003. The domestic market consumed most of the
increase, as consumer preference for seafood products remains strong,
while some of the production increase was processed and exported.
Seafood product trade continues expanding rapidly with 2003 imports of
roughly 1.4 MMT equaling \$1.8 billion and exports of 1.8 MMT equaling
\$5 billion. During the past year, China issued several WTO
notifications for seafood product packaging, labeling, and food hygiene
residue limits that could impact trade and increase certification and
inspection prices.

# Production Increases Expected to Slow

The outlook for fresh and seawater aquatic products is strong and
production will likely increase over the next several years. China's
National Statistics Bureau (NSB) abstract reports 2003 seafood
production reached 47 MMT. The growth, compared to last year's
production of 45.7 MMT, is due to increases in freshwater and seawater
aquaculture production of roughly 4 percent, while aquatic catch
declined slightly or remained stable. Expectations for seafood product
growth over the next several years are bright as aquaculture production
is a priority for the government under the Ministry of Agriculture's
(MOA) 5-year plan for advantageous commodities. Production increases
could slow, however, with greater emphasis on marine environment
improvement resulting from fishery and aquatic sector pollution.

Seawater prawn, crab, and shellfish production increased over the past
five years while fish production remained relatively stable. Mollusk and
crustacean production increases are largely due to increased area and
yield improvements in aquaculture, while stable fish production is
largely due to government restrictions on catch size, haul period, and
efforts to scrap vessels. Over the next several years, increased
seawater production is likely for crustaceans and mollusks; however, as
China's seafood industry faces greater food safety scrutiny from trading
partners and environmental concerns for water quality rise, the
production increases in seawater prawn, shrimp, crab, and shellfish may
slow.

The freshwater seafood product outlook is especially strong. Freshwater
seafood production increased for all edible aquatic products over the
last several years as rural farmers began raising freshwater fish and
other seafood products in ponds and reservoirs for sale to larger,
nearby cities. There are some businesses raising freshwater fish and
other aquaculture products for sale to larger cities or for processing
and export, but indications are that some larger scale producers face
difficulties due to environmental regulations that some smaller
producers avoid. China's freshwater catch increased slightly as catching
season restrictions along some riverways reduced over-fishing allowing
fish to reach full maturity and larger weights.

China's freshwater and seawater 2002 aquaculture area was 6.8 million
hectares (68,000 square kilometers), an area nearly the size of West
Virginia or Ireland. Most of the area is man-made ponds, reservoirs, and
coastal tidal basins. Carp are still one of the most common freshwater
fish cultured, but there has been significant production of other
freshwater varieties including tilapia, shrimp and prawn along with
shellfish. Catfish aquaculture exists, but remains small and grows
slowly in comparison to other varieties. As aquaculture expands for all
varieties, however, increasing environmental concern could impact
production as freshwater and seawater areas recorded nearly 1300 water
pollution cases at a loss of nearly \$86 million to fisheries and
aquaculture industries in 2003.

# Domestic Consumption Absorbing Production and Import Increases 

Urban and rural per capita consumption of seafood products continues
increasing. MOA officials indicate a recent FAO study expects aquatic
product consumption to increase 80 percent in the next five years.
Concerns over avian influenza turned consumers toward fish tanks at
restaurants and seafood sections in markets during the first few months
of 2004. China's NSB indicates urban aquatic product consumption has
risen 25.5 percent from 1998 to 2002, while rural consumption increased
13.7 percent. Further consumption increases are probable as urban and
rural residents gain greater access to fresher and higher quality
aquatic products through improved distribution and greater purchasing
power.

The highest seafood consumption is in coastal provinces, indicating that
much of the increased consumption is probably from seawater (and
brackish water) caught and cultured products. Many of these seawater
products are from domestic production increases as there are few
processed seafood imports in many of these coastal affluent areas.
However, as consumption of aquatic products increases in coastal urban
centers, it is likely that more people from these areas will be willing
to try imported seafood products.

Nationwide urban seafood product expenditures averaged slightly over 2
percent of total income and nearly 7.5 percent of total food purchases.
Although Shanghai residents spend the highest amount on a per capita
basis for aquatic products, it ranks fourth behind Fujian, Zhejiang, and
Hainan for the percentage of total food expenditures on aquatic
purchases.

Consumption of aquatic products (namely fish and shrimp) is greatest
among the wealthy, urban population. The difference between the
wealthiest urban segments of the population from the lowest urban income
groups is a factor of 2.5 for "fish" products and 6.8 for "shrimp".
"Poultry" consumption is the only other food category where consumption
from the lowest to wealthiest urban groups is of a factor greater than
two and one-half.

# Trade Surplus in Seafood Products Tops \$3 Billion

China's 2003 seafood product (Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) 0302-0307,
1604, and 1605) exports surpassed \$5 billion with a trade surplus of
over \$3 billion. A large portion is from bonded trade, which can enter
China tariff and VAT free for processing and re-export under the 1994
Interim Provisions on Export Tax Refund. However, as seafood product
consumption patterns continue developing, imports of processed products
and higher value prepared and prepackaged products may enter China for
domestic consumption. Hong Kong re-exports of seafood products to China
remain stable at roughly \$213 million for the past three years. Hong
Kong re-exports of aquatic products to the U.S. remained stable at
around \$51 million (mostly chilled, frozen, and packaged shrimp and
prawn).

## Imports Growing as Processors and Consumers Demand More

Year to date imports for January to April 2004 are 14 percent higher
owing to a large increase in frozen fish and fish products (cod, plaice,
roes and livers) and mollusk products from the United States. Russia,
North Korea, the United States, Japan, and Canada were the top five
suppliers of fishery and aquatic products to China in 2003; each with
over \$100 million in landed product and a combined 65 percent of total
import value. As consumer income grew the last five years and processing
companies ramped up processing ability, imports increased from nearly
\$700 million to over \$1.8 Billion. The primary import locations are
Qingdao and Dalian (major seafood and aquatic producing and processing
centers). Frozen cod imports remain one of the most important varieties
for China's processing sector. Other imports of significance include
frozen Pacific Salmon, Plaice, and frozen other fish in HTS030379 (e.g.
Yellow Croaker, Scabber Fish/Hairtail/Ribbon Fish, and Tilapia). Mollusk
imports like Cuttlefish and Octopus are important, as well, for the
processing sector and domestic consumers.

China imported \$133 million in seafood imports from the United States
in 2003; including Plaice (\$43 million), Cod (\$25 million), fish
livers and roe (\$14 million), Pacific Salmon (\$12 million), and Loligo
Squid (\~ \$8 million). U.S. trade statistics, however, list total
exports at \$176 million for the 2003 calendar year indicating most
product was "other" seafood (\$113 million), crab and meat (\$25
million), and salmon (\$17 million).

## Aquatic Exports to Markets Outside Japan Growing Fast During 2004

Year to date exports for January to April 2004 are 27 percent higher
than one year ago. China's aquatic product exports to Japan averaged
approximately \$2 billion a year for the past four years. Although Japan
is by far the largest export destination, exports are relatively stable.
Exports in the past five years to the U.S., South Korea, Hong Kong, and
Germany grew quickly to nearly \$1 billion, \$665 million, \$316
million, and \$185 million in 2003.

Processed fillets and other processed seafood product exports leave
China from the northern ports of Qingdao and Dalian, while most other
products (frozen, chilled, etc.) leave from central and southern China
ports like Ningbo (primarily shrimp and prawn) but also Fuzhou
(processed freshwater eel) and Shenzhen and Zhanjiang (processed and
frozen prawn and shrimp).

# Hygiene Standard and Certification Notices Could Impact Production and Trade

In February 2004, China notified several regulations on seafood product
food safety to the World Trade Organization mentioned in CH3019. These
regulations are National Standards designed to regulate the quality of
domestic and imported aquatic products. The Chinese government accepted
comments on these food safety measures for sixty days after the
announcement, but has not determined a date for full adoption. Once
final versions are adopted, China will provide at least six months
before regulations enter into force. Many of the regulations appear
similar to Codex and EU regulations on aquatic product food safety, but
traders are encouraged to review the regulations and work with Chinese
importers to develop a common understanding of their application or
enforceability to individual products and sales.

In addition, China's certification requirements for aquatic products
(AQSIQ 2002 No. 31 CH2061 and CH3007) and live aquatic products (AQSIQ
2003 No. 44 CH3091) are being implemented. Aside from complaints
associated with higher costs for inspection and certification, trade
appears to be progressing as normal. Trade sources indicate some leeway
is given prior to full enforcement however greater stringency is
expected as time passes.

# Production Policy Remains Unchanged

China's ambitious 5-year plan to place aquaculture in the forefront of
China's competitive agricultural industries, as mentioned in last year's
report (CH3019), remains in place. Success is possible if aquaculture
producers balance environmental quality controls with increasing yields.
Specialists indicate it will be necessary to take a more sustainable
approach to aquaculture and specialize in varieties for domestic and
export markets.

# Declining Tariff Rates Continue

Tariff rates for aquatic products decreased on January 1, as scheduled
under China's agreement to join the WTO. Products entering China under
bonded trade for processing and re-export are tariff free while goods
destined for China are subject to tariffs and VAT.

Aquatic product tariff rates on goods from most WTO member countries
(applicable to U.S.) for fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic
invertebrates (HTS 03) vary from 10 to 16 percent while rates for
prepared and preserved fish and caviar (HTS 1604) and prepared and
preserved crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates (HTS 1605) vary
from 5 to 12 percent.

ASEAN "Early Harvest" members enjoy a 5 to 10 percent tariff on HTS 03
items while Bangkok Agreement members enjoy a 6.7 to 12 percent tariff
on HTS 03 items. Some goods in HTS 1604 from Bangkok Agreement members
enjoy a tariff reduction at a rate of 6.4 to 9.9 percent. Non-WTO member
tariff rates are significantly higher for HTS 03 (40 to 80 percent),
1604, and 1605 (both 90 percent). All countries are supposed to be
subject to a 13 percent VAT for HTS 03 items and a 17 percent VAT for
HTS 1604 and 1605 items.

# Marketing and Promotion

## Trade Shows and Expositions

China's Ninth Fisheries and Seafood Expo along with the Aquaculture
China Expo are scheduled for November 2 to 4, 2004 in Qingdao, China.
Last year, in addition to providing a showcase for domestic and overseas
exhibitors, there was an American Pavilion showcasing several U.S.
seafood manufacturers, suppliers, and trading companies. Interested
participants should request placement in the U.S. pavilion and work with
show organizers or the USDA Agricultural Trade Offices.

There are additional fisheries and aquatic product trade shows and
events throughout the year in China sponsored by the Chinese government
or independent organizers of trade shows/events.

## USDA Agricultural Trade Offices

For additional information regarding marketing of U.S. aquatic products
in northern, central, or southern China contact a USDA Agricultural
Trade Office. USDA Agricultural Trade Offices can provide a variety of
assistance and information to exporters of U.S. high-value and consumer
aquatic and fishery related goods. There are also Foreign Commercial
Service offices in China that may be of assistance.
