    "When the autumn wind rises, the crab feet itch", and it is time for the golden autumn crab eating
    .
    In recent years, China's crab industry has ushered in great development, with the continuous progress of science and technology, scientific and technological crab farming has shown style and responsibility
    in promoting high-quality development.
    Tianyancha recently released the "National Hairy Crab Pingdi Foodie Map", based on the information of more than 300 million social entities and AI analysis capabilities collected on the platform, comprehensively inventory the country's major crab-producing provinces and strong provinces, gain insight into the scientific and technological power behind the vigorous development of the crab industry, and make consumers' journey to buy crabs and eat crabs better
    .

    The number of crab enterprises in Jiangsu is unbeatable

    Anhui, Liaoning and Huluyue formed the second echelon

    Affected by the high temperature, the Yangcheng Lake hairy crab started fishing a week
    later than usual this year.
    According to the data of Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, this year's purse seine aquaculture in the hairy crab lake area of Yangcheng Lake plus high-standard pond transformation and aquaculture is expected to have a total output of about
    9,400 tons.
    This is expected to decrease by 1,540 tons
    compared to last year.

    As the "C position" of hairy crabs, hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are sought after and coveted, but compared with the annual consumption of 300 million hairy crabs by the Chinese people, hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are really in short supply
    .
    In fact, there are as many as 600 species of crabs in China, and delicious and affordable crabs abound throughout the country
    .
    The "National Hairy Crab Pingdi Foodie Map" shows that there are more than 60,000 "crab" related enterprises
    in the country.
    Among the top ten provinces in terms of the number of crab enterprises, the southern region accounts for 7.

    In addition to the number of crab enterprises in Jiangsu accounting for 30.
    72%, Anhui, Liaoning, Hubei, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces are also major crab-producing provinces, and more varieties of crabs are climbing onto the public table
    .

    According to statistics from Tianyancha, there are currently as many as 18,000 crab enterprises in Jiangsu
    .
    The most famous is the Yangcheng Lake production area of Suzhou, due to the unique topography of the water source and the clean water quality, the hairy crab produced has the characteristics of
    green shell white belly, golden claw yellow hair, and fresh and sweet meat.
    Other producing areas in Jiangsu, such as Gaoyou Lake, Gucheng Lake, Hongze Lake, Taihu Lake, etc.
    , produce hairy crabs that are no less good, which can be called creamy yellow, and are now in a good season
    to appreciate the taste.

    Anhui, Hubei, Guangdong, etc.
    are also representative crab-producing provinces
    in the southern region.
    Among them, the number of Anhui crab enterprises has reached more than 6,800, and Lujiang Huangpi Lake hairy crab and Anqing Tuohu hairy crab are all famous national geographical indication products
    .
    There are more than 3,800 crab enterprises in Hubei, the most famous of which is the Honghu hairy crab, and the crab yellow is purple sauce or bean paste color, which is very special
    .
    The number of crab enterprises in Guangdong exceeds 2,400, especially the unique "top corner cream" Zhiliao crab after autumn, and the Nansha butter crab, which can be seen through the whole body after steaming, are the most famous
    .

    Of course, crabs are not unique to the Yangtze River, and Liaoning, Shandong, Hebei, etc.
    are also among the
    top ten crab-producing provinces.
    Liaoning Province ranks third in the country with more than 4,400 crab enterprises, and Donggang pike crab and Panjin rice crab are representative varieties
    there.
    Donggang pike crab is large, with obvious body tattoos and bright color, and is the fattest from March to May every year; Panjin River crabs are stocked in rice paddies, typically characterized by white belly scratches, dark back shell, full of paste, yellow, oily water, and are popular
    in the market because of their approachable prices.

    The food culture of different regions has also created the unique beauty of crab-eating in the local area: residents of the Pearl River Basin love a crab fried rice cake to warm their stomachs and hearts; The fishermen in the reeds of Yangcheng Lake directly boiled crabs with green onion and ginger wine to eat, and they were hearty; In the areas around Suzhou and Shanghai, drunken crabs are often soaked in Huadiao wine, or the yellow and paste in the crab shells are stir-fried into "bald butter" for storage in winter
    .

    2,600 patents throughout the entire industry chain

    The crab industry contributes to rural revitalization

    The other side of the variety of delicious crabs climbing on the public table is the great development
    of the crab industry, which is closely related to rural revitalization.
    According to Tianyancha data, there are more than 2,600 patent information related
    to crabs in China.
    It is no exaggeration to say that every link of crab breeding in China is extremely technical, and with the continuous progress and popularization of ecological breeding technology, crabs have also "flown into the homes of ordinary people"
    .

    From the perspective of provinces, among the top ten provinces with the largest number of crab-related intellectual property rights, the southern region accounts for 9 provinces, and Jiangsu, the origin of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, is the leader, with 29.
    23% accounting for the first
    place.
    Anhui, Zhejiang, Shandong and other specialized and new private economic provinces are close behind
    .

    It is worth mentioning that there are 38 crab-related high-tech enterprises
    in China.
    Among them, Jiangsu accounted for 15.
    79% and ranked first, which is not only a large province of crab production, but also a strong province
    of scientific and technological crab production.
    From the perspective of industry distribution, the number of enterprises in the science and technology promotion and application service industry accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 26.
    32%; Secondly, fisheries accounted for 15.
    79%, while research and experimental development and wholesale accounted for 7.
    89%.

    Through the data related to "intellectual property rights" checked by Tianyan, it can be seen that crab-related patents run through the entire process of
    the industrial chain.
    From crab breeding and grabbing, to packaging, transportation, and identification, intellectual property rights are everywhere
    .
    For example, "a crab breeding box that automatically cleans manure and is not easy to clog", originally invented by individuals, was purchased by a crab company for patent rights and glowed in modern crab farming
    .
    What's more interesting is that in response to the "Li Ghost" problem faced by hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, there are also related patented technology research "anti-counterfeiting traceability based on blockchain"
    .

    Refuse to bathe crab label crab listen to the crab

    "Identification of crab enterprise strategy" is online

    When consumers buy hairy crabs, they are most afraid of false deception
    .
    Tianyancha big data shows that 19.
    34% of crab-related enterprises in the country have abnormal operations, more than 1,000 related enterprises have generated legal proceedings, and more than 780 related enterprises have been subject to administrative penalties
    .
    There are three ways to counterfeit hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake - "bath crabs" that are put into Yangcheng Lake for a short time before sale, "label crabs" labeled as Yangcheng Lake origin labels for crabs from other origins, and "listening crabs"
    that have not even been raised in Yangcheng Lake for a day, but are sold by merchants with origin labels.

    In order to help crab lovers avoid buying hairy crabs with wrong goods, the "National Hairy Crab Pingdi Foodie Map" introduces the appearance, taste, and appreciation time of crabs in various places for the ten major crab-producing provinces, so as to facilitate foodies to distinguish between reality and fiction
    .

    Tianyancha also provides a set of exclusive "identification crab enterprise strategy": first of all, find the name of the manufacturer through the official website before purchasing, and check whether the manufacturer's address is in Yangcheng Lake
    through Tianyan.
    Focus on "administrative punishment" and whether there is false publicity; whether there is a service dispute in the "Legal Proceedings" section; At the same time, it is also seen in "news public opinion" to see if there are reports that the company is shoddy
    .
    Secondly, after placing an order, check where the hairy crab is shipped in the logistics information; Finally, after receiving the goods, you can also refer to the description of the hairy crab morphology in the "hairy crab flat foodie map" to observe whether it meets the requirements
    .

    In addition, Tianyancha reminds that due to the sales model of "crab coupons" pre-order, consumers should beware of the problem
    of "non-delivery" and other roll money running away.
    If it is found that the affiliated company has a large number of revocation and cancellation prompts, the person in charge of the enterprise is the "untrustworthy executor", and the enterprise has abnormal business problems such as not being able to contact the office, it is necessary to stop loss in time
    .
