China: 2025 China Fishery Products Report
China remained the world's largest seafood producer in 2024, with production estimated at 74.1 million metric tons (MMT), up 4 percent from 2023. Production growth continues to be driven by aquaculture, which, according to official data, increased 4.5 percent year-on-year to 58.1 MMT. In 2024 seafood imports fell compared to the record high set in 2023 but were the second highest on record in volume terms at 4.4 MMT, and third highest in value terms at $17.7 billion, driven primarily by imports of fresh and frozen fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Demand for high-value products, including salmon, lobster and shrimp remains strong, but competition within this sector is high. U.S. seafood exports to China declined slightly both in volume and value terms in 2024. On March 4, 2025, China announced additional retaliatory tariffs of 10 percent on many U.S. fishery products.
