Pointing out that developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the European Union are importers of aquatic products, especially shrimp, Salehi said: Currently, Arab countries are in the process of processing and packaging their products and exporting them to European countries, but in our country to This issue has not been considered.
Referring to the expansion of tourism in Arab countries, he said: These countries can be a good target market for Iran due to the growing demand for imports of crustaceans, especially shrimp. Also, the import of aquatic products to China is currently increasing, which is a potential market for the export of Iranian fishery products.
