285 shocked fish market

The Port of Mogadishu, located on the southeast coast and bordering the northwest side of the Indian Ocean, is the largest port in Somalia and the center of Somalia's international trade and maritime transport. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The port is well connected by road to major cities across the country, with numerous mosques [more than 100 in total] in the port and about 5km from Mogadishu Airport.

There are six main berths in the port area, the maximum water depth of the inner harbor is 12M on average, the maximum lifting capacity is 50T, and the water depth of the large anchorage is 13M. The main export goods are gum, frankincense, myrrh, timber, cotton, frozen meat, etc.

Imported goods include grain, textiles, petroleum, machinery and electronic equipment, medicines, and all kinds of scarce industrial and agricultural products, most of which are bargains.

The fishing wharf is in the most corner, the environment is dirty and messy, with various purchase berths, loading and unloading areas, supply areas, and chaotic and dilapidated wharf equipment, just like the garbage collection station.

Seafood wholesale companies, import and export companies, seafood food processing plants, fishery equipment companies, more than 20 enterprises are stationed here for business, and there are 50 berths.

There are 40-60 fishing vessels calling at the port every day, all of which are small offshore fishing vessels, accounting for almost half of the fishing volume in the south and southeast, about 200 tons per day.

The annual trading volume is about 70,000 tons, which is a drop in the bucket compared with Somalia's abundant fishery resources! China often catches millions of tons or tens of millions of tons, which is exactly the opposite, not to mention Europe and the United States.

The fishery, foreign trade, and customs revenues from the ports of Kismayo, Mogadishu, and Berbera are the pillar industries of Somalia's economy and are related to the country's finances!

Deep-sea transportation and deep-sea fishing are very important, and the economic interests are quite huge, and Li Wei also attaches great importance to them; the future development direction of the Talmud town lies in the "sea."

The fleet went all the way in a "human" shape, and came to the port of Mogadishu, looking at the scenery of the capital in the distance, the area is quite large and lively, but unfortunately there are few high-rise buildings!

The urban area is dilapidated, low, and cluttered, but it is also far larger than the small town of Talmud and more than Kismayo, with a relatively stable and orderly economy and a small number of factories.

For Li Wei, Ling Yao, Ling Zhengjun, and Little Black Boy, Mogadishu is a very backward city, but for the local residents of Somalia, the capital is already very prosperous.

Bitamud, Garasrai, Kismayo, any city is huge and attractive. But now with the rapid development of the town, everything is very different...

Soon, the fleet arrived at the port, and ten fishing boats, large and small, entered the fishing dock, attracting the attention of many fishing companies, and they all stared sideways.

At this time, the fishing port is full of small broken boats, only a few fishing boats of about 15 meters, which are manually unloading frame sardines, sea bass, and wahoo at the berth.

Unlike these old ships, the fleet led by Li Wei has all been refurbished and painted, and has been overhauled on a large scale, and it looks at least seventy or eighty percent new, and the salvage ships are brand new!

"Hey~ my God, what kind of ship is that?"

"It seems to be a salvage boat, and a fishing boat. ”

"Fuck, that's big business!"

The owners of the fishing companies at the wharf are all looking forward to taking over this big business, and ten boats of seafood may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is not a small amount!

After a while, the salvage boat first docked at the port, and nine fishing boats followed in turn, docked and prepared to go ashore, open the fishing boat's frozen warehouse, and process the frozen fish, shrimp and crabs.

A large number of people from fishing companies and import and export companies quickly gathered around, shouting that they wanted to buy fish, and the price given was quite good, and they would receive as much as they wanted.

"Herring, sardines $2.2 a pound!"

"We're giving $2.3 a pound!"

"Are there sea bass or mackerel?"

"High-end fish is sold to us, moray eels, tuna, and groupers are sold to us, and the price is definitely not lowered!" "The export is usually high-end fish, and the mainland cannot afford to consume it.

Sardines are $2.3, sea bass is $3.5, mackerel and bonito are $5.5, prawns are $6, and lobster and snow crab are $12--60/kg depending on the meat grade.

MORAY EELS 25 USD/KG, SOLE 35 US $/KG, GROUPER 25--70 USD/KG ACCORDING TO THE SPECIES, TUNA ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION GRADES, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

Li Wei plans to sell 100 tons of sardines, as well as 10 tons of deep-sea shrimp and crabs, and seven tuna; miscellaneous fish are as good as the price of ordinary herring! Moray eels, groupers, sea bream, pike, tongue soles will not be sold for the time being, and he will go back and process them himself.

Sardines worth US$23W and shrimp and crabs are US$18W, which are wholesaled directly to local seafood suppliers, with a profit of about US$400,000, half of which is distributed to the fishing boat owners.

The fishermen were paid $600 for each of the 30,000 large boats and 20,000 for the small boats, and the fishermen were paid on the spot to help unload the cargo and take it to the docks.

The two companies jointly ate it, sent trucks to pull away 100 tons of fish and send them to a nearby freezer, and sold 100 tons of fish and shrimp at one time, which is very rare in Somalia!

Moreover, with the current fishing technology, it is difficult for several boats to catch so many fish, even if they go to sea for half a month, it is only a few tons. The people from the fishing company were surprised, this salvage ship is too powerful, it doesn't seem to be simple~

What is even more exaggerated is that the last batch of fish caught was taken out of the freezer, and there were several fat tuna three or four meters long, with black fins and white bellies!

", tuna, bluefin tuna?"

"Shhhh This... This fish is so beautiful!"

"Bluefin tuna, $350,000!"

"Two together for $800,000. "The boss of the Middle East Fishery Company next to Li Wei is arrogant and arrogant, these two bluefin tuna are sent to Dubai, and they will definitely make money.

There are too many tyrants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and the consumer market for tuna is huge, and the price is quite expensive, not worse than the Tsukiji market in Tokyo, the more expensive it is, the more people buy it.

A piece of 125kg/2.5m/A grade meat!

One piece of 133kg/2.6m/A-grade meat!

The unit price is 30-400,000 US dollars, which is not too expensive, and bluefin tuna is rare after all, higher than caviar and truffle foie gras, and the whole world likes it.

In addition, a few yellowfin tuna are also very high-end and atmospheric cooking ingredients, worth two or three hundred thousand US dollars, a total of seven tuna, which makes the import and export company crazy.

"A million dollars, I bought them all!"

"Fuck, I'll give 1.1 million, 1.1 million!"

"Don't get excited, I'll give $1.15 million. ”

"Damn, go to hell, I'll give you 120w dollars if it's higher!" The Middle East boss scolded, very excited to bid $1.2 million again, which is already a very high price, and no matter how high it is, there is a risk of losing money.

Fortunately, no one continued to increase the price, and the owner of the fishery import and export company from the Middle East successfully auctioned off his inevitable seven tuna, 1.2 million US dollars!

Each ship received another $50,000, and the total revenue was already over $1.6 million, which was a great harvest, plus a large bluefin tuna...
