Recently, the news that novel coronavirus was found on the chopping block of imported salmon in Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market pushed imported salmon and related seafood to the forefront. Many restaurants that focus on seafood, especially Japanese restaurants that focus on raw food, have been greatly affected. The turnover of most Japanese shops in Beijing is less than half that of the same period last year, and even many Japanese shops have closed for the second time.

the business of Japanese food stores is not good, and the sales of seafood in China are not good either. In order to reduce the risk, the number of seafood sent to Beijing has also decreased, and the purchase price has also increased accordingly. No one buys seafood, but the price has gone up instead of down.

In order to reduce losses, the seafood market trades time for profits. If it cannot be sold, it will be frozen.

some people say that although the epidemic has brought some adjustments to seafood consumption, with the improvement of residents' living standards, the demand for seafood in the national market still exists.

after the epidemic, the seafood market will return to normal.

On June 25th, at the 132nd novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control press conference held in Beijing, Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Peking University First Hospital, said that meat, eggs and fish (including seafood) in all shopping malls in Beijing are safe and can be purchased with confidence. A seafood merchant told reporters today that at present, nucleic acid testing has been carried out in shops and stock markets, and the supply of goods is safe. In terms of price, some products will fluctuate slightly, mainly due to the change of purchase price, and most products are stable in price and sufficient in supply. At present, the supply of Sanyuanli vegetable market is sufficient to ensure the basic supply, and the prices of a few commodities will fluctuate up and down by 5%-11%.

according to the person in charge of a chain seafood restaurant brand, the supply of seafood products consumed by consumers can be roughly divided into two channels, one is imported from abroad, and the other is produced at home. At present, the channels for importing seafood are almost blocked. Because customs clearance is more complicated and strict, logistics circulation is subject to a series of strong supervision and is almost blocked. As far as domestic channels are concerned, Beijing has been particularly cautious about the import and export of seafood. Many seafood transportation needs to stay for inspection, but some fresh products can't stay for a long time, so it has a certain impact on transportation, which is one of the reasons for the current increase in seafood prices. In addition, seasonal fluctuation is also an important reason for the rise of seafood prices, and there are similar small waves every year. This is a normal phenomenon.
