Crayfish jumps up when anti-"shrimp cycle"

[Hui Cong Food Industry Network] "Since this summer, the price of crayfish has experienced a jump, the current wholesale price is twice as expensive as in previous years. I did not expect to start the lobster catering, it will be unable to sustain the cost."8 On the 14th, Yang Guo boss Li Guoxiang, who just turned to crayfish dining this year, said frankly that many lobster halls have been forced to slam. "Because the cost is high, but the market is fierce, the sales price is not easy to raise."

"Behind the high price is a serious imbalance between supply and demand, and there is a shortage of goods everywhere. The 100 billion-level industry of crayfish must prevent 'high fever' in the rapid development." Insiders are more concerned about the current popularity of crayfish, but have deeper thoughts. .

Farmers earn money, lobster hall is busy

These days, in the Wang Xianji Farm in Lingtang Township, Gaoyou, workers are stepping up their nets to catch crayfish. “Now it is the highest peak of crayfish prices. Several lobster brokers are waiting in Tangkou every day. As long as the crayfish is out of the water, it will be taken away immediately.” Farm boss Zhang Yuxi said with emotion, this year the crayfish is a little bit hot. Crazy."

5 money crayfish 32 yuan / kg, 7 money to 9 money crayfish sold to 55 yuan / kg, this time the wholesale price of crayfish also let Yizhengtang, the large shrimp farmer in Zhengying Village, Yuetang Town, Yizheng City, an accident. "Twice than last year, it has turned round. Even if it is such a high price, it is still the seller's market. The phone calls for shrimps are one by one, but the output of shrimp ponds is more than 1,000 kilograms per day, almost all of them are empty."

The number of money raised by farmers has reached a soft hand, but it is not all laughter that the crayfish is hot behind the whole industry chain. Many lobster pavilions that directly face consumers are mired in business because of the cost of raw materials.

"The wholesale price of crayfish from 7 to 9 money has been sold to more than 50 yuan a pound, which makes us sell in the store." A lobster owner near Nanjing Shanxi Road told reporters that the average lobster was nearly 200 yuan per guest. If you continue to raise the price, many guests will lose. If the lobster price has been maintained at this high level, the store may have to stop the lobster and switch to other dishes.

The reporter learned that some restaurants in Nanjing, Huai'an and Yangzhou have stopped the supply of crayfish. "The average price of crayfish in one or two specifications is as high as 80 yuan per jin. There is no way, we can only Stop selling and sell wild fish and earthen vegetables.” Yangzhou Qiandao Lobster Museum owner told reporters.

Surging price increases to prevent "cycle rate"

"In July and August this year, there is a continuous high temperature. Many shrimp farmers are reluctant to go to the fields and shrimps in the lower ponds. In addition, after the temperature rises, there are water shortages in the ponds and crayfish are also decreasing. Therefore, the high temperature shrimps are the reason for the price increase." The price of crayfish was unusually high this summer, and Qi Yuantang analyzed it from the perspective of farming.

However, in the eyes of Zhang Yuxi, the reason is not so simple. "The reason for the madness is superimposed. I think the key is the transformation of the traditional catering industry. Because of the money-making effect, everyone is going to do lobster catering. You see the lobster hall in the first- and second-tier cities. Which township is now? There are not many. There are different crayfish and crabs, high-end hotels sell, and street food stalls are also sold.” The market size of crayfish’s 100 billion-level market has attracted capital to flock in, but this market is like crayfish itself. Generally, "smells and smells hard."

Tang Jianqing, a researcher at the Provincial Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute, told reporters that the area of ​​crayfish farming in the country is expanding, last year was 9 million mu, and this year exceeded 10 million mu, so the total output of lobster is increasing. He analyzed that the wholesale price is closely related to market demand. "There is still a new phenomenon this year. The demand in the southern market is exploding." Zhang Yuxi himself has also run the lobster hall. He thinks that it is because there are too many lobster restaurants now, everyone goes to the market to grab the goods, crayfish. The price has been lifted up, and these lobster halls must be hard to scalp to get shrimp, no matter how high the cost, why? Because only the crayfish attracts guests, you are likely to make money on other dishes and wine. “For the popularity of the hotel and the quality of the customers, it is necessary to grab the shrimp at no cost. This is also the fundamental reason why the farmers are making money this year and the lobster hall is busy.”

“There are thousands of crayfish, which have become the luxury food and beverage consumption.” Zhang Yuxi believes that like this year’s high prices, some farmers will fall into fear: Do you want to raise crayfish next year? If more people rush to raise crayfish next year, the "cycle rate" that occurs on many agricultural products may also become the fate of crayfish.

The industrial chain still needs to be long and deep

In 2016, China's crayfish production was 8.991 million tons, consumption was 879,300 tons, the total output value was 146.610 billion yuan, and nearly 5 million employees were employed in the entire industry chain. The reporter learned that this year's data is expected to continue to break through. Crayfish has become an important and wealthy industry in many places.

“Although it is already a billion-dollar industry, our current research on crayfish is not enough.” Gao Hui, deputy dean of the Agricultural College of Yangzhou University, believes that most of our crayfish farmers rely on traditional experience to raise crayfish, which is efficient and healthy. There is basically no widespread farming technology, the number of seedlings is severe, and the quality is worrying. In fact, crayfish farming technology breakthroughs may not be as difficult as some traditional aquatic products such as crabs.

“The farmer's farming technology really needs to be further improved, including feeding feed, water quality management, grass management, etc.” Tang Jianqing suggested that local departments should strengthen training and on-site guidance for farmers, and appropriately foster large-scale breeding households in crayfish farming areas. Large households help small households and large households with small households, effectively improving the level of farmers' farming technology.

At the same time, relevant departments and industry associations should also play a guiding role. Tang Jianqing said that the sales of crayfish are in the off-peak season. It is necessary to guide farmers to raise the market time for crayfish to keep up with the pace of the market and to step on the rhythm of the peak season. Now the online prices of crayfish are very transparent, but they are short-term and immediate prices. It is necessary to strengthen the long-term price research and early warning of price fluctuations to prevent large fluctuations and reduce the investment risk of farmers.

The crayfish industry chain also needs to continue to grow and deepen. Zhang Yuxi told reporters that in the past, Gaosuo Lake's Macrobrachium prawn appeared in a concentrated listing of bad streets, and no one wanted a few dollars. Later, a group of enterprises that deep-processed shrimp and frozen shrimp appeared. Since the price of Macrobrachium rosenbergii on the market has reached a certain level, these enterprises will immediately start to store and store. Therefore, the prices of Macrobrachium rosenbergii have been stable in these years. For areas where the crayfish industry is fully developed, deep processing supporting enterprises also need to keep up, not only to prevent price fluctuations, but also to solve the problem of cyclical supply of lobster.

Some experts believe that the crayfish's living preservation technology and cryopreservation technology are available, but the application is not much. “These technologies can be further promoted to extend the sales period of crayfish.”
