MPEDA House, Panampilly Avenue P B No. 4272, Kochi – 682 036.
Report on the participation in Asian Seafood show 2012,
Hong Kong A. Introduction
The MPEDA has been participating in Asian Seafood exposition since last few years. For the
Asian Seafood exposition-2012, organized at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
from 11-13 September 2012, MPEDA participated as an exhibitor (please see Annex-1 for
details). MPEDA booth also had accommodated a co-exhibitor and exhibited a wide array of
seafood products from India (Annex-2).
B. Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of
China (PRC), the other being Macau and is one of the most densely populated areas in the
world.
Hong Kong is the world's largest re-export centre much of which is products made in
mainland China, and distributed via Hong Kong. Its physical location has allowed the city to
establish a transportation and logistics infrastructure that includes the world’s second
busiest container port and the world’s busiest airport for international cargo.
Hong Kong- vital statistics
1. Land mass - 1,104 km2 (426 sq miles)
2. Population – 7 million people (95 percent ethnic Chinese)
3. Per capita income – USD 49,000 (PPP)
Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As
a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the
territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 28 million in 2011, outnumbering visitors
from all other countries combined.
C. Hong Kong seafood market
500,403 MTs of seafood were consumed in Hong Kong in 2009 which averages out to 71.6 kg
of seafood per person in that year alone. This was about 3.9 times higher than the global
average (18.4 kg per capita) and double the per capita consumption in mainland China. Hong
Kong is now the second largest per capita consumer of seafood in Asia, and the ninth largest
in the world.
Hong Kong – Seafood market
1. Seafood market size – USD 2.68 billion (2009)
2. Seafood consumption – 500, 403 MT (FAO, 2009)
3. Per capita seafood consumption – 71.6 Kg/year
Hong Kong has a seafood market of $2.68 billion comprising of local supplies of $128 million
(including $124 million worth of marine fish and $4 million of freshwater fish) and $2.55
billion worth of imported seafood products. About 30 percent of the imports were re-
exported, with China and the U.S. being the major re-export markets. Major suppliers
include China ($393 million), Japan ($388 million), Australia ($277 million) and the United
States ($139 million).
Given the geographical proximity, China is the largest supplier of live fish. China supplies
mainly live fish, shrimp, prawns, squid, and sea cucumber. China competes with Philippines
and Indonesia in the supplies of expensive live fish, which are mostly served in Chinese
restaurants. Japan is the dominant supplier for dried scallop, selling over $90 million to Hong
Kong in 2009. Dried scallop is a very popular Chinese recipe served both at home and
Chinese restaurants. Australia is the largest supplier of chilled crawfish to Hong Kong,
exporting $96 million in 2009. Lobster is another major export product by Australia. The U.S.
is particularly strong in supplying molluscs including clams, oyster, and dried sea cucumber.
In addition, the U.S. is the largest supplier for frozen lobster, cod and clams, with respective
market share and export value of 45% ($16 million), 78% ($5 million) and 80% ($8 million).
India’s seafood export to Hong Kong
India exports about 129 seafood products to Hong Kong (Annex-3). The product categories
exported include live fish, chilled fish, frozen seafood and dried fish. During 2011-2012,
India exported 5,593MT of seafood at a value of USD 84.6 million. However a sharp decline
is observed both in quantity and value when compared to previous year. The seafood export
during 2010-2011 was 12,169MT and 147.75 USD million. The major decline in quantity and
value was seen in the exports of frozen fish, frozen squid, live fish and dry fish except for
frozen shrimp which showed an increase of 75% and 98% in quantity when compared to
2010-2011.
D. Asia seafood show
The Asian Seafood Exposition featuring Frozen Food Asia is the premiere seafood trade
event in Hong Kong and connects buyers with seafood and frozen-food suppliers from Asia-
Pacific Market. The event is organised by Diversified Business Communications. Diversified

Talk on the release of Chinese consumer survey report
Attended a talk on the release of the publication of “Chinese Seafood Consumers: A Survey
of Retail-Purchasing Behaviours,” by SeafoodSource.com. The 41-page report based on 30
survey questions, informs about consumer trends in the rapidly growing Chinese market for
fish and seafood. China is the third largest importer of seafood in 2011 and the per capita
seafood consumption in China is 31.9 Kg (FAO, 2009).
The report includes quantitative and qualitative analysis of evolving Chinese attitudes about
three product categories: Salmon, tuna, and frozen crab. The report covers several topics
including brand-name testing, country-of-origin positioning, buyer decision making, demand,
and price elasticity.
The talk highlighted the fact that 48% of the households surveyed consumed more seafood.
In Shanghai and Beijing it was 66% and 42% increase in seafood consumption. Salmon was
consumed most in home dining (81%), followed by crab (72%) and Tuna (57%). Country of
origin was important (81%) when purchasing decisions are taken.
New Product showcase
The Asian Seafood Exposition featured a New Product Showcase at the exposition in which
more than 30 of the newest seafood and frozen-food products were displayed. The New
Product Showcase was located at the front of the exhibition hall.
MPEDA exhibited the retort products of the Forstar Company in the new product show case.
In addition, this year's New Product Showcase includes the following products:

E. MPEDA’s participation in the Asian Seafood exposition 2012
MPEDA booth (Annex-3 floor plan) attracted a large number of trade visitors and buyers.
The delegated officials could meet with over 200 visitors. Annex-4 provides the list of visitors
with whom MPEDA officials interacted. The co-exhibitor M/s. Starfish exports, who shared
the MPEDA booth, benefitted by identifying new buyers. We also exhibited the retort
products from Forstar frozen food pvt let.
The major exporting countries like China, USA, Australia etc. had large pavilions. Aggressive
participation from non-major exporting countries like France, Canada, Chile etc was also
noticed. Products with good presentation and packing in MPEDA booth had attracted
buyer’s attention. There were many requests for tasting of the products. There was
particular interest for leather jacket, swimming crab, ribbon fish, pomfret and fish maws.
F. Market information gathered
India’s export to Hong Kong is declining in recent years and discussion with seafood buyers
shed light on the reasons behind this decline. The primary reason is the increased
competition from mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam. However many buyers pointed out
that prices from these countries showing an upward trend and if Indian seafood could
compete with them in quality, India has a chance to regain the market. The seafood from
these countries has a perception of fresh and high quality in Hong Kong seafood market.
Another reason behind the decline is the shift of consumers to convenient seafood products.
Discussions with supermarket managers revealed that ready to cook and ready to eat items
are fast moving in the supermarkets and sales of these items have picked up in recent years.
Food safety, freshness and price are key drivers for seafood consumption in Hong Kong. The
top preferences are shellfish, including shrimps, scallops and prawns; and live fish. Squid is
consumed more at home than restaurants; whereas expensive items like lobster and crabs
are consumed more in restaurants than at home. There are about 100 wet fish markets in
the 16 districts of Hong Kong. These wet fish markets are supplied by 7 wholesale markets
located on the seashore. The wholesale markets are controlled by Fish Marketing
Organisation (FMO). The FMO is a self financing non-profit making concern established by
authority of the Marine Fish (Marketing) Ordinance, Chapter 291. The FMO is also advised by
a statutory Fish Marketing Advisory Board.
The FMO currently operates seven wholesale fish markets located at Aberdeen, Shau Kei
Wan, Kwun Tong, Cheung Sha Wan, Castle Peak, Tai Po and Sai Kung to provide efficient and
orderly wholesale marketing for the fishermen, fish wholesalers and buyers. The FMO
provides fish trading facilities, and fish wholesaling and accounting services to wholesalers
and buyers, and charges the fishermen or wholesalers a commission of 7% of the total value
of all sales (for fish sold by auction or negotiation) or HK$5 per 15 catties (for fish sold by
direct sales) for these services. There is no charge for buyers.
As the show timings are from 10 to 18 hours, it was decided to explore the local seafood
market in the evenings and early mornings and the following places were visited.
A. Visit to Aberdeen live fish wholesale market
The Aberdeen live fish wholesale market was visited on 14 September 2012. The
Fish Marketing Officer, Mr. Henry was contacted and he accompanied us during the
visit. The market provides port facility for fishing vessels, live fish keeping space for
wholesalers, supply clean seawater to wholesalers and restaurants who keep live
fish, parking bay and loading facility for vehicles distributing fish to retails markets.
This fish market is the largest fish market in Hong Kong.
There are 33 registered wholesalers operating in this market. They supply to
restaurants, star hotels, caterers and super markets. There are about 12, 000 high
end restaurants out of which about 1,000 live seafood restaurants are catered by
the wholesalers. There are about 200 star hotels as consumers for this wholesale
market.
The prices between fishing vessels, wholesalers and retail customers are fixed
through negotiation and not through auction. The wholesalers pay the fishing
vessels in about 7 days after the supply.
The main sources of live fish are from local marine cage culture, the Philippines,
Indonesia and Thailand. It takes about 2 weeks for the fish to reach the market by
sea. Large barges travel through South China Sea and Andaman Sea for collecting
live fish. It was learned that there is a supplier from Andaman and Nicobar islands as
well but we were not able to collect his details. These barges buy the fish from
mariculture cages and pay by cash on the spot. However the condition of the fish
collected and transported by sea are not good due to injuries and mortality and
hence attract 20% lower price than air shipped consignments.
Quality seawater assurance scheme- The FMO supplies clean seawater to live fish
wholesalers and retail customers (restaurants, hotels etc) and a logo is displayed by
those who use this water. The seawater is collected by the designated barges from
specified locations in the sea. The collection point is recorded using GPS. The water
is then brought to the fishing harbour of Aberdeen and treated using rapid sand
filter, UV etc and stored in large tanks for supply to customers. The water is sold at
HK$ 30/MT.
B. Visit to Sai Kung live fish wholesale and retail market
Sai Kung is one of the 7 wholesale fish market in Hong Kong where live fish is traded
to the restaurants located adjacent to the harbour. The trading takes place in the
morning and the restaurants are open in the evening until early morning. We visited
the Sai Kung restaurants on the night of 13 September. There are about 50 live fish
restaurants serving live marine fish to customers. The live fish are kept in aquaria of
various sizes ranging from 3-4 feet size to approximately 10,000 litres round acrylic
tanks. A large variety of live seafood was available and major species available was
groupers, Asian seabass, Main lobsters, Australian rock lobsters and spiny rock
lobsters; crabs, squids, variety of bivalves etc. The customers prefer crabs, lobsters
and other seafood with plenty of meat. These are steamed and served with a variety
of sauces and vegetables. Minimum cost per dish was about HK$ 200.
C. Visit to Chenshawan fresh/chilled fish market
This is the second largest wholesale fish market and landing centre in Hong Kong
after Aberdeen wholesale market. We visited this market at 0300hrs on 15
September 2012. The market is operated by the FMO and the Fish Marketing
Officer, explained the activities of the market to us. The operating time of the fish
market is from 03-10 hrs for the chilled fish with peak trading done during 03-06 hrs.
The chilled fish is mostly send to we markets in Hong Kong and these wet markets
open for business at 06 00 Hrs. Hence most of the trading concludes before 0600
hrs. There are about 30 wholesalers operating in this market and catering to about
300 retailers. The retailers are mainly we market shops, supermarkets, restaurants
and hotels. The price is fixed through negotiation. In addition to whole sale of chilled
fish, wholesale of live fish is also practiced from 0900 to 1300 hrs.
The source of chilled fish is mainly by land from Southern China. Nearly 90% of the
fish arrive in this manner. Rest of the chilled fish and all live fish come from capture
fisheries. The fishing vessels do not come ashore for unloading the catch. Rather
they continue to do the fishing while the delivery boats operated by the wholesalers
make daily trip to collect the catch from fishing vessels. This is done in a well
organised manner. The fishing vessels operate in groups in South China Sea and
based on the catch, the delivery vessels are informed to come to fetch the catch in
the night. The fish loaded in the delivery vessel is sorted and packed in Styrofoam
boxes at 5, 10 and 15 Katty weight and delivered to the market. It takes about 24 to
48 hours for the fish to get landed after catch. Yellow croaker, Thread fin bream
(larger size), eel, unicorn file fish, Big eye, sea bream, Mangrove snapper, Ribbon fish
etc were the common fish varieties available in the market during the visit. The
Ribbon fish steaks deep fried with chilly is quite popular in traditional Chinese
cuisine and is also popular in pubs as well. Sharks, sting rays and shrimps were
almost not available in this market. A thin polythene sheet is used to wrap individual
fish, the thickness of which we were not able to find out. The fish wrapped in this
film is packed in the Styrofoam box. This film protected the fish from damages from
ice and abrasion, according to one wholesaler. The fish packed this looked fresh.
The chilled fish delivered from Southern China are mainly from marine/brackish
water aquaculture. Only pomfret was seen from capture fisheries. On enquiry it was
found to be imported from India to China in frozen form and thawed and delivered
to the market as chilled/fresh fish. The wholesaler was interested to take chilled
pomfret if delivered by flight daily. The prominent cultured fish was Pompano which
according to wholesaler is cultured on a large scale in Southern China. Other
cultured species available were Mullet, black sea bream etc.
Pre-processing activity on a smaller scale was also observed. This included gutting
large fishes like eel and filling the visceral cavity with ice for better preservation.
However mostly low value fish meant for fish ball preparation was being handled in
the pre-processing area.
There are a large number of species were available from capture fisheries when
compared to aquaculture species and the prices of capture fisheries were
comparatively high when compared to aquaculture species. The prices of the fish on
the day of the visit are as follows:
No Description Price (HK$/ Katty*)
1 Yellow Croaker (small 200 gm size approx) 30
2 Eel 40
3 Bobay Duck 6
4 Pompano 10-11/kg (200-400gm) & 17-19/Kg (400 -500 gm)
*1 Katty= 600 gms approximately.
There was an adjacent market for live freshwater fish where cultured fresh water
fish was brought by specially equipped trucks from China. Rohu and big head carp
seems to be popular and fetches price of HK$ 20/Katty for 1kG up size.
D. Retail market survey in Hong Kong
Many corner convenience shops and mini marts were visited for a quick look at the
seafood sold in Hong Kong. There were a large number of Chinese traditional shops
selling dried seafood and vegetable (e.g. mushrooms) products in the market area.
The mini marts and convenience shops had two sections selling seafood- the
freezer/chilled display units selling frozen and chilled/fresh seafood and shelves
displaying dried and canned seafood. All the products sold were ready to eat or
ready to cook products. On 11 and 12 September evenings a market survey of these
shops was done.
Fish Maws- The traditional Chinese shops were selling mostly dried/salted seafood
products such as sea horses, abalone, succulent shrimp etc. but fish maws were
occupying prominent place in these shops. Hence more information was collected
on fish maws. Many shops were reluctant to share information and did not allow
photography. However, we managed to talk to few and also discussed with few
importers. The demand for fish maws is growing rapidly. The market ban of shark
fins and increasing affluence of the consumers are behind this growing demand for
fish maws. Fish maws are used in soups like shark fins, dried abalone and is less
expensive.
The fish maws are dried swim bladder of fish. Fish maws could be made from any
fish, including fresh water fish. Larger size fish give larger fish maws which fetch
better prices. The prices range from HK $ 100-400/katty (1 katty ~600 gms) for
normal quality fish maws. Premium fish maws fetch HK$ 2,000 and above per/Katty
in the retail market. The prices depend on the quality. Size, shape, colour (golden,
translucent is the best) and type of fish from which fish maw is produced determines
the price. Fish maws from large (5 Kg up) Conger eels, Jew fish, Nile perch, Yellow
croaker fetch premium prices. Fish maws from South African countries and South
America were of premium quality in the retail market. These premium quality fish
maws are from chilled/frozen swim bladders to retain the quality. The standard
quality fish maws are produced from a wide variety of fish and cat fish is also
popular in this category.
Some of the buyers complained that Indian suppliers were not consistent with
quality as most of the suppliers are traders not processors. On enquiry in Mumbai, it
was found that the fish maws is produced in fishing villages and supplied to exporter
who stores and packs it for export. One buyer from mainland China was interested
to buy from a processor exporter of fish maws from India and RO, Mumbai is
communicating with him to explore the possibility of developing a processor
exporter in the region. One dry fish exporter has come forward to set up a fish maws
unit.
G. Recommendations
A. Due to economic problems, the traditional markets of Indian seafood, viz. Europe,
USA and Japan are becoming difficult. Focusing on eastern market would enable the
country to diversify as well as absorb the price shock from the traditional markets.
Hence we recommend that MPEDA conduct a market study of the major far eastern
markets namely China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and South East Asia to
identify key products which could be promoted and marketing channels in these
markets. These products could be developed as a pilot projects and promoted in the
trade shows. We may also participate in the trade shows, in the region especially
Bussan and Shanghai in addition to the current ones.
B. It was observed that the Asian Seafood Expo is catering to the southern China
market also in addition to Hong Kong. The market is moving towards more
convenient products. For example buyers were more interested about Ribbon fish
chunks, steaks etc. Similarly Pomfret is very popular. Scaled, gutted and gilled
vacuum packed pomfret could attract attention as a pan ready product. Similarly
yellow croaker also could be value added. Hence, we may develop few value added
convenience products and display in the show next time to get feedback from the
customers.
C. It is proposed that we may take 4-6 booth space, provide table spaces to the
exporters. A reception to the prominent buyers from Hong Kong and China could be
arranged on the second day afternoon. Indian seafood should be served with each
item identified to the concerned exporter by a small tag placed next to it. This would
help the generic promotion of Indian seafood as well as the specific exporters as
well.
D. It is suggested that focus market teams of 3-4 MPEDA officers were formed for each
market. These teams could track the market developments, involve in the product
development and promotion and participate in the trade fair. Presence of at least
one member of the focus team in the trade show would help in building
relationships and promoting buyer-seller matching.
