As one of China's key export markets for aquatic products, the U.S. accounts for a significant share of China's aquatic exports. However, the recent tariff war has created unprecedented obstacles for tilapia exports: tilapia prices plummeted, with farm-gate procurement prices crashing below 3 yuan per half-kilogram (1 jin), tilapia wholesale prices in core markets dropping to 4 yuan per half-kilogram, and tilapia market transaction volumes shrinking drastically. This led to a massive backlog of tilapia in ponds and storage facilities, causing overstocking and slow sales of tilapia.
