1C4A2386_Jfoto_20260612_-1558107582The 3-day 18th China (Fuzhou) International Seafood & Fisheries Expo (hereinafter referred to as "China FIFE") concluded successfully on June 14, 2026. Themed "Global Aquatic Supply Chain, Source Direct Procurement in Fuzhou," this year's expo achieved innovative breakthroughs in both scale and format, yielding fruitful results in promoting industrial exchange and advancing the high-quality development of the marine economy.

Innovative Models Lead the Way, Scale Reaches New Heights

For the first time, China FIFE adopted a dual-venue model in conjunction with the Huawei Xiyingli Agricultural Products Wholesale Market. The total scale surpassed 100,000 square meters, with the Fuzhou Strait International Conference and Exhibition Center covering 74,000 square meters and featuring 2,399 booths.

IH4A9543_JX_0612094403Statistics show that the on-site retail sales across the two venues reached 531 million yuan, with intended transaction volumes hitting 2.076 billion yuan. The expo attracted 44,500 professional visitors and a cumulative total of 272,500 attendees. A total of 518 entities exhibited, drawing participants from over 30 countries and regions worldwide, including Russia, Ecuador, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Norway, Australia, and the United States.

Precise Matchmaking Promotes Cooperation, Igniting New Industrial Vitality

The expo attracted professional buyers from over 20 provinces, including Jiangsu, Guangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Shandong. Through subdivided precise supply-demand matchmaking sessions, the event ensured comprehensive coverage for production and sales connections.

洽谈 (3)Supermarket Procurement Matchmaking: Key chain supermarket procurement heads, such as Beiguo Mall, Anhui Baida Hefu, Xianghe Hualian, Linyi Xinye Shangxia, Jiangxi Jiabai Le, Taizhou Sanhe, and Changchun Ouya, were invited for on-site negotiations.
Yangtze River Delta Catering Supply Chain: High-quality enterprises like Shanghai Qitiaoyu Agricultural Technology, Nanjing Huayushanfang, Wuxi Hanyan, Sodexo, and Wenzhou Quchaqu Catering were invited.
Catering Brand VIP Procurement Day: This session gathered procurement teams from Fujian's top catering brands, including Jihai, Yuntan, Xingxian Restaurant, 1718 Seafood Hotpot, Fulihua, Yufu, and Tianfu Seafood Restaurant.
China Rural Banquet Initiative: Over 300 rural chef procurement heads from Hunan, Anhui, Hainan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian visited the expo, reaching cooperation intentions with over 80 exhibiting enterprises.

During the event, two major project matchmaking activities were held to promote the high-quality development of the marine economy. At the Fujian-Hainan Marine Fishery Cooperation event, enterprises from both provinces reached multiple key cooperation agreements in technology, investment, and sales. Research institutions and enterprises signed joint research agreements focusing on "bottleneck" issues in aquatic seed industries, promoting the integration of Fujian's deep-sea intelligent equipment and Hainan's tropical seed technology.

The "Blue Ocean" Industrial Chain Cooperation Matchmaking attracted dozens of domestic and international buyers, suppliers, financial institutions, and service agencies. Participants engaged in deep exchanges centered on the deep integration of five chains: breeding, new energy, technology, finance, and supply chain.

Opening a "High-Speed Channel" for Trade, The New Retail Wave Surges

The expo partnered heavily with Douyin (TikTok) to create a "Golden Field" for the 618 Shopping Festival. Statistics indicate that over 40 quality e-commerce aquatic brands, including "Seafood Boss Lady," "Jia Zhi Pai," "Ziji," "Lin Baobao," "Uncle De Abalone," "Shen Apo," "Chengfu Jellyfish," and "Denghuo Yu," utilized an "offline display + online livestreaming" model. Notably, "Seafood Boss Lady" and top influencer "Jia Zhi Pai" helped the on-site livestreaming sales volume break 10 million yuan.
