CCTV News:As an important part of the service industry, catering has resumed its development since this year. As an upgrade of catering consumption, the market scale of China’s prefabricated vegetable industry is growing, reaching 419.6 billion yuan in 2022. A plate of prefabricated dishes not only changed the dining habits of many people on the consumption side, but also promoted the upgrading of the industrial chain on the raw material side.
In Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, the new container fish culture adopted by Tan Xingkui, a 50-year-old snakehead farmer, is a link in the prefabricated vegetable industry chain.
In this container fish farming system, 30 mu of ecological fish ponds provide high-quality water, and the aquaculture water is treated by four-level fish ponds to achieve recycling and zero carbon emission. This way of fish farming is not only to increase farmers’ income, but also a subversive change to the traditional way of fish farming.
The snakehead fish comes to the processing plant from the fish pond of farmers, and it takes only 6 hours to enter the market after slicing, deboning, trimming corners, slicing by machine, sizing and rolling oil after cleaning, packaging and packaging. Fresh-keeping, not adding preservatives, but entering the freezer, using instant freezing technology to lock fresh for 30 minutes. The rapid development of prefabricated dishes and the pursuit of upgrading quality and taste are driving the green development of rural industries, promoting farmers’ income, and giving birth to more new businesses. Huang Wanyong, a cutterhead from Guangxi, is a new craftsman who grew up with the prefabricated vegetable industry.
Black fish filmmaker Huang Wanyong:I didn’t adapt to it at first. When I first started learning, my hands were numb, and I could kill twenty or thirty pounds of fish in an hour. Later, I got used to it. My highest record was killing 3000 Jin of fish a day. The factory here in Guangdong is bigger and the salary is higher. Only when you come here can you afford to buy a car.
In Guangdong, from fish ponds to dining tables, the prefabricated vegetable industry chain of pickled fish covers a complete supply chain network from fish seedling breeding, feed production, snakehead breeding and fillet processing. Last year, Guangdong Province issued "Ten Measures for Accelerating the High-quality Development of Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Industry", and accelerated the formulation of local standards for food safety of prefabricated vegetables, basic standards for classification of prefabricated vegetables, and quality evaluation and testing standards.
With the upgrading of technologies such as fresh-keeping cold chain, the ingredients that could not be made into prefabricated dishes have a new life. In the past, crayfish-related prefabricated dishes in the market were mainly frozen, and few factories made them cold and fresh. In Xuyi County, Huai ‘an, Jiangsu Province, the newly-built liquid nitrogen quick-freezing production line and other intelligent equipment have broken through the limitations of space and time, and the innovation of technology to keep fresh has made it a reality to eat crayfish cold.
