Pakistan’s seafood exports to China register 42% increase in 2022

Author: Agencies

Pakistan’s seafood exports to China have increased by 42% in 2022 as compared to the previous year. This is due to the rising demand for seafood products in China,  Ghulam Qadir, Commercial Counsellor of Pakistan’s Embassy in Beijing, told China Economic Net (CEN).

He said that Pakistan’s seafood exports to China topped US$ 198.36 million in 2022, while in 2021 it was US$ 139.29 million, recorded in the data of the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC).

“The increase in Pakistan’s seafood exports to China is largely attributed to the increasing demand for fish of the Chinese people and the growing popularity of Pakistani fish in Chinese restaurants. This has led to a successive increase in Pakistani seafood exports every year since 2020,” he said.

Qadir mentioned that as per GACC, Pakistan’s export of frozen fish, (commodity code 03038990) to China crossed US$ 63.31 million in 2022, up from US$ 33.43 million in 2021, while in terms of volume, it is more than 30,637.8 tons in 2022 and 18,987.2 tons in 2021.
