Abstract

This paper investigates China's export activities in the aquatic products sector over the period from 2018 to the current year. By collecting and analyzing relevant data from authoritative sources such as the United Nations Comtrade Database and the General Administration of Customs of China, it provides a comprehensive overview of the scale, composition, and market allocation of China's aquatic product exports in this timeframe. In addition, it offers an in-depth examination of the driving factors and outlines relevant strategies for future development. The results show that although China's aquatic product exports have faced certain challenges, there are still great potential and opportunities. Through continuous optimization of the industrial structure, improvement of product quality, and expansion of market channels, China's aquatic product exports are expected to achieve more stable and sustainable development. This research provides a reference for relevant industries and policymakers to understand the current situation and future trends of the exportation of aquatic products from China.
