Wednesday, September 02, 2026, 05:30 (GMT + 9)

China's cumulative imports of cephalopods grew by 37.56% through July, while exports fell by 24.10%

During week 35, the volume of oceanic squid (Dosidicus gigas / Todarodes pacificus) cleared by customs at the port of Zhoushan registered a significant increase compared to the previous week, according to weekly customs clearance data expressed in tonnes.

In international trade, the General Administration of Customs reported that between January and July 2026, cumulative imports of cuttlefish and squid products reached USD 1.35 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 37.56%. Imported volume also grew by 37.56%, reaching 451,800 tonnes. Conversely, exports maintained a contractionary trend: total value fell by 24.10% to USD 1.267 billion, and volume declined by 17.74% to 245,500 tonnes.

Regarding market conditions, observers from the Zhoushan International Agricultural Products Trade Center and public channels noted that during week 35, the domestic market for oceanic squid maintained a stable trend across all categories, characterized by stable prices and sluggish trading activity.

The main constraint remains on the demand side. Although the scope for further price reductions is limited, trading activity remains weak and demand lacks solid support. Concurrently, imports and port arrivals continue to increase while domestic supply remains sufficient, leaving no clear basis for a price increase in the short term.

Looking ahead, demand associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day could gradually pick up as September approaches. If orders from processing companies improve and traders increase restocking, market operations could progressively recover and provide support to lower prices.

However, if the recovery in end demand remains slow, the market is likely to maintain a pattern of low prices, moderate fluctuations, and weak equilibrium. Market participants are advised to operate with caution, purchase according to immediate needs, replenish inventories gradually, and closely monitor pre-National Day stock preparation as well as the progress of squid catches in the Southeastern Pacific and port arrival rates.

舟山港のイカ通関量が増加、国内市場は横ばいで取引は低調

7月までの中国の頭足類累積輸入量は37.56%増、輸出量は24.10%減

第35週舟山港の税関を通過した遠洋イカ(Dosidicus gigas / Todarodes pacificus)の通関量は、前週と比較して大幅に増加したことが、トン単位で示された週間通関データにより明らかになりました。

国際貿易において、中国海関総署が発表したデータによると、2026年1月から7月までのコウイカおよびイカ製品の累積輸入額は前年同期比37.56%増13億5,000万米ドルに達しました。輸入量も同様に37.56%増45万1,800トンに増加しました。一方、輸出は縮小傾向を維持し、輸出額は24.10%減12億6,700万米ドル、輸出量は17.74%減24万5,500トンとなりました。

市場動向に関して、舟山国際農産物取引センターおよび公開チャネルの市場観察者によると、第35週の国内遠洋イカ市場は全カテゴリーで安定した推移を見せ、価格は横ばいで取引活動は低調な状態が続きました。

主な制約要因は引き続き需要側にあります。さらなる価格下落の余地は限られているものの、取引活動は依然として弱く、需要には堅調な支えが欠けています。同時に、輸入および港への到着商品は増加し続けており、国内の供給も十分であるため、短期的には価格上昇の明確な根拠は見当たりません。

今後の見通しとして、9月が近づくにつれて中秋節および国慶節に伴う需要が徐々に顕在化する可能性があります。加工企業の注文が改善し、業者の在庫補充が増加すれば、取引は段階的に回復し、安値圏を支える要因となる可能性があります。

しかし、最終需要の回復が緩やかなままであれば、市場は安値での推移、緩やかな変動、そして弱い均衡状態を維持する見込みです。市場関係者は慎重な取引を行い、必要に応じて購入し、段階的に在庫を補充するとともに、国慶節前の在庫準備や南東太平洋におけるイカの漁獲状況および港への到着動向を注視することが推奨されます。

舟山港远洋鱿鱼通关量增加,国内市场保持平稳且成交清淡

截至7月中国头足类产品累计进口量增长37.56%,出口量下降24.10%

第35周期间,根据舟山港海关公布的以为单位的每周通关数据,经由该港口通关的远洋鱿鱼(Dosidicus gigas / Todarodes pacificus)数量较前一周显著增加。

在国际贸易方面,根据海关总署发布的数据,2026年1月至7月期间,乌贼及鱿鱼产品的累计进口额同比增长37.56%,达到13.5亿美元。进口量同样增长了37.56%,达到45.18万吨。相反,出口保持收缩态势,出口额下降24.10%,至12.67亿美元;出口量下降17.74%,至24.55万吨

在市场行情方面,据舟山国际农产品贸易中心及公开渠道的市场观察员指出,在第35周期间,国内远洋鱿鱼市场各品类整体保持平稳态势,表现为价格稳定且交易活动清淡。

主要限制因素依然存在于需求端。尽管价格进一步下行的空间有限,但商业活动依然疲软,需求缺乏有力支撑。同时,进口及到港货物持续增加,而国内供应依然充足,因此短期内缺乏明确的价格上涨基础。

展望后市,随着9月临近,中秋节国庆节带来的备货需求可能会逐渐释放。如果加工企业的订单有所改善,且贸易商增加补货,市场交易可能会逐步复苏,从而对低价形成一定支撑。

然而,如果终端需求的恢复依然缓慢,市场可能会继续维持低价、窄幅震荡和弱平衡的格局。建议市场参与者谨慎操作,按需采购,稳步补仓,并重点关注国庆节前的备货情况以及东南太平洋鱿鱼捕捞和到港动态
