In terms of market price, in terms of specific categories, the wholesale price of grass carp market was 1 1.7 yuan/kg, up 2.5% from the previous month. The wholesale price of tilapia rose to 9.4 yuan/kg, up 1.4% from the previous month. The wholesale price of Penaeus vannamei decreased for six consecutive weeks, and last week it fell to 47.3 yuan/kg, down 2.5% from the previous month. The wholesale price of raw fish was 19.5 yuan/kg, up 3.0% from the previous month.
In terms of market supply, since May, Penaeus vannamei in the province has gradually entered the peak of listing, and it reached the peak of listing in July due to the pond cleaning carried out by farmers to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival. In August, farmers' pond cleaning work has basically ended, and the amount of prawns on the market is expected to decrease from July, but it is still at the peak of the market, with little difference between July and July.
From this point of view, the market supply of Penaeus vannamei is still sufficient in August. Under the influence of sufficient market supply and declining overall consumer demand, it is expected that the market price of Penaeus vannamei will be difficult to increase this week. If it continues to decline, it will probably strengthen farmers' reluctance to sell, slow down the pace of shrimp listing, and drive the price of Penaeus vannamei to stop falling and maintain stability.
