Chile's total export earnings of salmon declined in 2010

It is reported that in 2010, the total export revenue of Chilean squid was US$2.59 billion, which was 2% lower than in 2009. This was due to the fact that infectious salmon anemia virus affected the production of Atlantic salmon, and the sales volume decreased accordingly. Total Atlantic salmon shipments totaled 715 million yuan, a decrease of 33% from 2009. The total export volume of Chilean seabass was 297 million metric tons (net weight), and shipments decreased by 20% from 2009. Among them, Atlantic salmon accounted for 86,000 tons, silver carp accounted for 83,100 tons, and carp accounted for 123,000. Ton. The value of silver oysters exported was 433 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 1% over 2009, and the export value of Umbro was 877 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 52% over 2009. From the rise in the export value of carp, it can be seen that many carp companies have decided to develop the carp market. Since the infectious carp anemia virus severely ravaged various salmon farms in Chile in 2007, the carp industry in Chile has faced health, economic and labor crises. .

Carlos Odebret, Director General of the Association of Chilean Salmon Industry A. G., Salmon Chips, believes that the increase in the income of carp is due to the strong demand in Brazil. In recent years, Brazil's carp imports have increased fivefold. Japan, the United States, and Brazil are the main export markets for Chilean seabass, with exports to these three countries at 990 million U.S. dollars, 448 million U.S. dollars, and 274 million U.S. dollars.
