The 22nd China Fisheries and Seafood Expo (CFSE) was held in China's sailing capital Qingdao from Nov 1 to 3. One of its highlights was New Zealand's pure and high-quality seafood products, showcased by the New Zealand Trade and Development Bureau and nine of the country's outstanding seafood companies.
With a coastline of 15,134 kilometers, New Zealand has pure and pollution-free water. Its vast sea area has rich marine resources. In addition, proper protection policies and careful cultivation of seafood have earned New Zealand the world title for sustainable fisheries management.
Every year New Zealand exports 130 kinds of seafood, about 17 percent of them special high-grade products, to international markets. In value they amount to about 1.79 billion New Zealand dollars.
China is New Zealand's largest seafood export market with an annual volume of about 578 million NZD, which is increasing year by year.
The nine exhibiting seafood companies each have their own characteristics.
Fiordland Lobster Co, a supplier of New Zealand rock lobsters worldwide, is a leader in the live lobster export industry.

Port Nicholson Lobster Co markets rock lobsters from A-class to the highest quality F-class. Rock lobsters taste sweet and lush. They live in clean waters in the southern hemisphere, where their growth cycle is very slow. They cannot be cultured and can only be caught through wild fishing, which makes them a greater luxury.
New Zealand greenshell mussels taste juicy and are rich in protein and trace elements. Kono NZLP specializes in the production and export of greenshell mussels.
