Status and Countermeasures of Development of Eel Industry Cluster in Guangdong
Abstract
Eel is a kind of high-quality edible fish with high protein and fat, and it is an important export agricultural product of Guangdong Province. With the upgrading of consumption, domestic consumers are increasingly interested in this nutritious aquatic product. Through the analysis of fishery statistics and field investigation, the development characteristics of the four main eel production areas in China were found out. The eel industry in Fujian Province had the highest cluster degree with strong competitiveness. Jiangsu Province has gained an important industrial status because of its unique eel fry resources. Jiangxi obtained the late-development advantage of eel industry by virtue of favorable geographical conditions. Guangdong eel industrial cluster has excellent breeding conditions and construction conditions of the whole industrial chain, and eel output ranks first. The study aims to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of the current development of eel industry in Guangdong, which can promote the upgrading and optimization of Guangdong eel industry cluster to achieve sustainable development. Currently, the local quotient and concentration coefficient of Guangdong eel industry reached 3.16 and 4.93, showing the advantages of high industrial concentration and specialized production. However, the supply coefficient of eel fry in the upstream of Guangdong eel industry chain is only 0.0045, and the supporting role of leading enterprises in eel industry needs to be further enhanced. Based on these above, the following development countermeasures are put forward, such as strengthening the supporting capacity of leading enterprises in Guangdong eel industry cluster speeding up the construction of eel industry service system in Guangdong Province, and strengthening the close cooperation with other major eel producing areas.
