Abstract:

From the perspective of supply and demand, this paper analyzed the current status, characteristics, existing problems and future development trends of the tilapia industry. The development of tilapia supply and demand is characterized by a high concentration of supply and scattered domestic consumption; products are mainly supplied to the international market and highly dependent on foreign countries; demanding countries are diversified and trade volume is greatly affected by the US market. China's tilapia demand has changed significantly, especially due to the uncertainty of the US market, which has caused a partial surplus of tilapia supply. It is expected that the demand for tilapia would decline significantly in the future, but this decline will be alleviated after the impact of COVID-19 and the demand will continue to grow. Due to market uncertainty and other reasons, China’s tilapia supply will increase at a low level, or even decrease.

Key words: tilapia industry, supply and demand, trade war, COVID-19, forecast
