Brunei

"I really didn't expect that the fish we raised in the deep sea of Brunei could be selected as a state banquet food by Brunei. We are so proud!" Dr. Wei Chengyu from Seastone Fishery (Brunei), who has just returned to China, shared with you This joy.

    In mid-November last year, Brunei used deep-sea farmed fish from the Brunei branch of our private company Haishitong Food Co., Ltd. as ingredients for a state banquet welcoming foreign heads of state. The state banquet is a formal banquet held by the head of state or the government to entertain state guests and distinguished guests. For such a high-end and important banquet, it is self-evident that the requirements for the selection of ingredients are high and the meaning is deep.

    Brunei's sea area is ecologically sound and there are extremely rich seafood varieties. The high-quality seafood that is not farmed in the country is just a home-cooked dish for ordinary people in Brunei. Because of this, Brunei people are particularly picky about seafood. Artificially farmed fish are hard to see, and it is even rarer to see them on the dining table.

    "Don't look at Brunei people eating seafood, but they are very interested in the fish we raise in Brunei. The wife of Brunei National Finance Minister Nadu Amin likes to eat the fish we raise. Brunei country The Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism, Nadu Ali, also gave us a thumbs up!" Wei Chengyu is full of confidence in the company's business in Brunei.

    Haishitong Food Co., Ltd. is the first large-scale offshore marine aquaculture enterprise in Guangxi, with the annual processing capacity of 20,000 tons of aquatic products. Its investment in Brunei is the "Guangxi-Brunei Economic Corridor". The first landing project is also a demonstration project of scientific and technological cooperation between our city and the countries along the "Belt and Road". It mainly breeds famous marine fish such as goldeneye perch and cobia.

    The settlement and construction of the project reflects the "speed of China". In February 2016, Nadu Amin visited Haishitong Food Company. After understanding the company's advanced deep-sea aquaculture technology and its economic and social benefits, he immediately issued an investment invitation. With the efforts of both parties, the project entered the substantive negotiation stage in April of the same year, and was put into construction and trial production in June of the same year.

    Haishitong Fishery (Brunei) has always adhered to the principle of ecology and quality first, and output and profit second. The company set up cages in the deep sea 12 kilometers offshore from Brunei. The distance between the cages is 500 meters, and the aquaculture water depth is 12 meters. The density of the cage layout and the aquaculture water depth are much higher than those of foreign counterparts. The net cage with a circumference of 80 meters can produce about 100 tons of commercial fish.

    "The advantage of this is that the aquaculture area has enough space for the aquaculture water body and the water flow changes quickly, which can ensure the self-purification of the marine environment in the aquaculture area and ensure that the entire aquaculture environment is pollution-free. The ecology of the aquaculture area is guaranteed, and the quality of the fish can be guaranteed." Wei Chengyu said, "In addition, we strictly control fish feed. We only use it after it has been tested by relevant departments of Brunei and meets halal standards."

    Due to advanced technology and high feed quality, coupled with the deep sea low-density facility farming, the quality of Haishitong Fishery (Brunei) has overturned Brunei’s long-standing attitude towards farmed fish that is "not tasty, nutritious, and nutritious." Not safe”. Nadu Amin’s wife and many Brunei people agree that its quality is as good as the quality of non-farmed deep-sea fish, and the quality of the deep-sea golden pomfret raised has reached the quality of sushi.

    Brunei has a vast sea area, but the scale of fish farming is relatively small. In order to alleviate this situation, Haishitong Fishery (Brunei) decided to breed high-end seawater fish fry such as goldeneye perch and golden pomfret locally, and learned from the domestic "company + base + fisherman" model. The company is responsible for supplying fry, The fishermen participating in the cooperation only need to raise fish with peace of mind in the whole chain of technical training, adult fish recovery, processing and export.

    The "Chinese model" of "company + base + fisherman" was quickly recognized. Thirty or forty Brunei aquaculture companies and a large number of fishermen have cooperated with Haishitong Fishery (Brunei). They were pleasantly surprised to find that the use of Chinese technology to raise fish not only solves the problem of slow growth and susceptibility to disease, but also can meet international aquatic product export standards within 6 to 8 months. In July 2018, the first batch of deep-sea fish affixed with the Haishitong Fisheries (Brunei) company trademark was sold to Canada, which meant that Brunei farmed fish entered the international market for the first time.

    It is worth mentioning that the investment project of Haishitong Fishery (Brunei) is also Brunei’s first large-scale large-scale cage deep-sea aquaculture project and national fishery brand. The company’s amazing performance has won Brunei’s senior executives. Affirmation and attention. Last year, the 14th China-ASEAN Expo was held. Brunei Head of State Hassanal fully supported the company to represent Brunei to participate in the exhibition in China, and visited the company's booth to inspect and encourage.

    It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Haishitong Fishery (Brunei) not only imparted China’s advanced aquaculture technology to fishermen from Brunei, Myanmar, Indonesia and other countries working in the aquaculture base, but also used the deep-sea cage aquaculture base as a platform to build Brunei fishery vocational education internships. The base, in conjunction with the University of Brunei, Brunei University of Technology and other colleges, offers professional courses in fisheries, which has been widely recognized in Brunei.

    The beneficiary Brunei fisherman Beijia said that in the past, many foreign investors said that they would help Brunei develop fisheries, but they all failed. Only the Chinese did it and left the advanced fish farming technology without reservation. , Has brought new hope to Brunei fisheries.

    Haishitong Food Co., Ltd. uses Chinese wisdom to benefit the countries along the "Belt and Road", vividly continuing to write wonderful stories of China, which not only enhances Chinese technology and China's international influence, but also injects new connotations into the "Belt and Road" initiative.
