A golden chance to engage with global fisheries in Fuzhou


The 2025 Cross-Strait (Fuzhou) Fisheries Week and China (Fuzhou) International Seafood & Fisheries Expo took place in Fuzhou from June 13 till 15. Fruitful results have been yielded, including RMB 350 million in the turnover of retail sales, up to RMB 1.56 billion worth of intended transactions, and 196,000 visitors.

The fisheries expo in Fuzhou was filled with not only fresh seafood from across the world, but also exhibitors of all skins. With the participation of more than 30 countries and regions, including Iran, Brunei and Thailand, people from all over the world talked with each other in different languages, and sought to establish win-win partnerships.

Iran and Brunei attended the expo for the first time, and ten countries, including Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia appeared in the form of exhibition delegations. The expo was attended by the record number of international delegations.

Businesses from across the globe looked to take advantage of the Fisheries Expo, a grand event, to seek more opportunities for economic cooperation and exchanges.

Han Nongzheng, an Indonesian exhibitor, was found in the Indonesian exhibition area talking ardently with Chinese businessman Huang Haiteng.

A year earlier, Han Nongzheng made acquittance with Huang Haiteng by accident. Now, they have cooperated a lot in the purchase of raw seaweeds. In the expo, Huang Haiteng served as an interpreter to help Han Nongzheng to approach potential buyers. To her great joy, many catering and feedstuffs companies came to her booth to discuss cooperation.

From production-sales matchmaking to in-depth coordination across the industrial chain, the Fisheries Expo has established increasingly close bonds in the international fisheries sector, and seen increasingly intensive cooperation.

Experts and scholars from across the world gathered in the expo. The influx of guests, who had different skins and spoke different languages, epitomized the promising prospect of the fisheries sector as well as their sincere longing for cooperation.

“We have an innate advantage in aquaculture, and rank 5th globally in per capita consumption of aquatic products. Zhang Zhuoming, vice secretary of Malaysia Aquatic Development Association (MADA), said in the expo, we are looking forward to deepening cooperation with Chinese companies in aquaculture technology, variety improvement and product processing, and exploring together international markets on a mutually beneficial basis. (Wu Huazhen and Lan Yuping)
