Since the end of August this year, the price of #tilapia has been rising all the way, and it has continued for more than 2 months now. The pond 's price and market transaction price of 400g have always been above 5 yuan/piece. The original legend that many people in the industry expected that the price increase would not last more than three months has to be broken. The high price of tilapia will remain until the end of this year, and it will not be until the beginning of next year that the price will drop after the beginning of spring.
At present, tilapia farming and frying are booming in the western Guangdong and Hainan regions. Many farmers have increased the amount of tilapia frying during the period of high tilapia prices in the past two months. The tilapia farming cycle is relatively short, and the tilapia farmed in this part will reach market size and flow to the market in a few months.

At the same time, from the end of October to now is the last ordering period for tilapia fillet orders in the European and American markets. If you want to catch up with the Christmas holiday at the end of the year, you must ship it before mid-November. Domestic tilapia processing plants will gradually complete the processing of this part of the order.
The production of open-backed tilapia in the domestic market has increased, and open-backed tilapia has gradually been accepted by small grilled fish shops and street stalls, especially in the south. Small-sized tilapia has price and quality advantages. The price is cheaper than channel catfish and pangasius of the same size. At the same time, the meat of tilapia has high protein content and low fat content, which meets the health food requirements of many new generation young people.
