At present, the epidemic has broken out in many regions of China, and the situation in some cities is relatively severe, which has a certain impact on the imported aquatic products industry.
Affected by the epidemic, Shenzhen and Dongguan in Guangdong Province have begun to implement stricter epidemic prevention policies. Nucleic acid testing has been carried out in Shenzhen, enterprises have stopped operating or worked from home, and all entertainment venues and scenic spots have been closed. The catering industry suspends dine-in services, and bus and subway operations are suspended.
The city of Dongguan suspends all non-essential movements. In addition to ensuring urban operation and the transportation of goods and goods supplied to the port, the city’s buses and subways are temporarily suspended. Schools are closed and students are taking lessons online. All scenic spots, sports venues, and entertainment venues are temporarily closed. The hotel only provides pick-up and take-out service.
The control of these two cities, especially the control of the catering industry, has a great impact on the sales of imported aquatic products.
The recent epidemic situation in many cities in Shandong Province, especially in Qingdao, is currently severe. Positive food detections remain high. Since the beginning of this year, 42 batches of positive food have been detected in 21 special warehouses in 8 cities in Shandong Province, from 11 countries. The average monthly detection volume is 1.45 times that of last year, an increase of 68% compared with the same period last year. However, according to industry insiders, this is related to the Dalian port. Due to the epidemic in Dalian, many imported goods to Dalian were diverted to Qingdao port, so the positive rate of Qingdao port has increased.
In addition, the epidemic situation in Jilin Province and Shanghai is severe. The number of confirmed cases in Jilin is as high as several hundred per day. At present, Changchun City, Jilin Province has implemented a complete lockdown of the city, while Shanghai is currently suspending services to all passenger stations. The emergence of the epidemic has caused a great impact on the catering and tourism industries, which directly affects the sales of imported frozen products.
