    Introduction: at present, the supply of prawn in the international market is in short supply, so China's prawn export should seize this opportunity to actively expand the market scale The year of 2001 is the year of high yield of prawn in China, and the export of prawn has increased greatly From January to October of last year, the export volume of prawns at Shanghai Port alone reached 287 tons, worth 5 million US dollars, 9.5 times and 11.6 times higher than that of the same period in 2000 This is the information that the reporter learned from Shanghai Foreign Economic and Trade Commission recently According to reports, at present, the global shrimp trade volume is up to more than 7 billion US dollars, and has formed four major markets: Japan, the United States, the European Union and Southeast Asia Chinese prawns, Mexican Brown prawns and Guyana white prawns are known as "the world's three famous prawns", and Chinese prawns are one of the main forces of export and foreign exchange of aquatic products in China from 1960s to 1980s In recent years, the demand for prawns in the international market has been growing, especially for Chinese prawns, whose prices are rising steadily Unfortunately, in recent years, the decline of prawn production in China has led to the decline of export, so many business opportunities have been lost When talking about how to develop shrimp breeding industry and grasp the export business opportunities, relevant personnel suggested to seize the following key links: first, actively expand the international market, Japan is the largest market for shrimp export in China, accounting for 76% of the total export volume of shrimp in China last year According to the market analysis, in recent years, the demand for prawn in European and American consumer markets is also on the rise, the market scope is expanding, and the price is rising again and again, but at present, there are few prawn export markets in Europe and America in China, accounting for less than 15% Therefore, we should expand the export scale to the European and American markets 2 Efforts should be made to expand the export of frozen prawns to China In the first 10 months of last year, the export of frozen prawns with shells at Shanghai Port alone amounted to 4.73 million US dollars, accounting for 94.6% of the total export of all prawns At present, the supply of frozen shrimp in the international market is further tight, and the price is rising all the way Therefore, China should follow the trend to expand the export of frozen shrimp, especially shelled frozen shrimp 3 It is very promising to moderately develop the scale of culture and improve the culture technology of prawn in China At present, in addition to the production of prawn in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and other provinces, prawns such as Banjie prawn, Japanese prawn and newly introduced Penaeus vannamei are also cultivated These varieties have short production cycle and good benefits, and are worth popularizing In addition, to further improve the export environment of prawn is also a problem that needs to be paid great attention Under the situation that the market of supply and demand of prawn is promising in the world, China should strengthen the unified management of prawn export, maintain a good export order, and strictly prevent the low price competition from hurting itself.
