Chinese Goldfish Breeding Season

Normally goldfish spawn in spring or early summer. Most of the exporters start their new fish sale to oversea market from the middle of September or even later, because fish in the wild breed according to the temperature, sunlights, and food availability, the shipping possibility as well. An experienced importer used to have a very relax summer. However, they might miss the biggest sale this year.....

Our farm has spawn fish in February successfully, almost ahead one and half month to stop fish dormancy. Some of our new fish  now is reached to 6-7cm and changed colour completely. We can ship to non-stop customers after testing a couple of times for some fancy lines.

We invested on the research and facilities, not only to be able to supply all year around to meet customer needs, but also to increase our overall profit. It is getting harder and harder, along with the US dollar to Chinese Yuan's currency dropping, less of land, rising of utility etc. In fact, the only strength every chinese farmers is the cheap labour!

Proper handing/shiping techniques-Packing Skills 2

A proper handling and shipping techniques that will make a low mortality rate to ensure profitability for the importers then to provide fish to their customers. Whatever the suppliers from fresh water, marine or pond, they have their own holding/shipping methods. The suppliers decide about the density of the fish are held prior to shipping, quality of packing water, the volume of water in the bags and the ratio of compressed oxygen, whether or not the fish were treated for disease, whether heat packs or cold packs are applied in the box etc. Generally, this information is a competitive advantage to compete others and is not be shared..

Therefore, a couple of questions you can ask the supplier when you want to import ( for goldfish).

  1. Does the supplier has well-equipped packing room?
  2. Does the supplier use a cooler to reduce the water temperature gradually, or just use a big pie of ice?
  3. Is the packing density the same whatever the summer and winter, the orandas or the butterfly tails?

You will have at least 80% survived fish arrival after you gathering these information above.

DO NOT consider the price list only!-Packing Skills 1

The first consideration jump into the importer's mind is the price list, then the fish quality or DOA issue etc when they would like to buy ornamental fish from China directly. Therefore, I have to remind every importers that you'd better to ask the suppliers about their packing skills usually was ignored. An experienced supplier do a better job than others can save a lot of money and make a good DOA for their customers.

Last year, a new customer decided to buy fish from mainland China. He got a bunch of price lists from almost suppliers in China and studied. He pretty like my fish and my quick reponse but was a little hesitate because my FOB price was not the cheapest(1 cent or 2 cents more than the cheapest). Anway, he asked me to provide a proforma for his 30 boxes order. At meanwhile, he asked the cheapest supplier located in Shanghai as well did the same thing. When he compared these two proformas, he figured out our approximately shipping weight was only 330kg, the other was 390kg!  So, he asked him if it is possible to make it around 330kg so that he could have the most benifit. "it could be heavier on the shipping date, 13kg per box is normal!" the supplier answered. Finally, I got his order and sent him 30 boxes fish. Although he spent $80 more on the fish cost, but he saved $400 on the shipping cost, and our excellent DOA (lower than 0.1%) let him very happy

I wrote this story for you, just hope every impoters, you may thinking or will be thinking to buy fish from China to learn something from it. Do not through money into those unnecessary wolume of water in the bags. Do not consider the price list only.

Lovely Calico Lionhead!


Calico Lionhead




Although USDA-APHIS postponed one month to enact the new regulation which meant the deadline would be Oct 29th, we still confused when we received orders from a couple of US customers. The customers asked us to provide the health certificate despite during the grace period. Of course, it is no problem for us to provide the health cerficiate. Buy why some US cusotmers don't require?

The officers from Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau issed the health certificate tell me that they are confused too. It looks the different states perform different methods.

Anybody knows why?

800kg Super Moon Cake


800kg Super Moon Cake


Today, I finally get a day off to celebrate the second major festival of the Chinese calendar--"Mid-Autumn Festival" with my family.  This festival is also known as the "Moon Cake Festival" because a special kind of sweet cake prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds, red beans, all kinds of nuts and duck eggs is served as a traditional food.

I asked Yuanling if she likes the moon cake taste. "I'd rather to have iced-Cappuccino!" she answered.

Well, it looks I have to keep on educating her Chinese culture.

Tomorrow, I will start to introduce a series of goldfish couple.

What's so busy these days?

Everybody knows the new law in US is coming to the industry. I am busy for shipping hundreds of boxes goldfish to my US customers in LA, Chicago and Miami etc. What I am doing is to beat the deadline of the new law and work so hard. So far I still have one US customer waiting for my goldfish. The good news is the new law will be postponed till mid-October. However, you know Chinese October holiday during Oct 1st to Oct 7th is coming. And I don't have any expectation to ask the Government in Shanghai including Shanghai Custom officers to work well during the holidays. My customers all know I have a 12-year-old chess master daughter , she is going to play a chess tournament called Shanghai Open during Oct 5th to Oct 7th every year. Therefore, I suggest some customers could place your order again and I could ship my goldfish at least one more time before Oct 3rd if your sales is really good.

Goldfish Queen started to supply from this month!

                                          


As I promised to all my customers that I could supply goldfish and koi from the beginning of September, now Goldfish Queen's farm already started to ship oversea from last week.

My colleagues and I are extremely busy working on those orders. All the customers had no fish for a quite long time and waiting for their first shipment anxiously. What quality will be this year? They all questioned.

When you see the pictures I attached here, "Quality is Our First Priority!" is quite understandable!

Love their chubby face? I do...... very much! How about you?
