A surge in global pollock prices is driving China's seafood imports to new heights.

A surge in raw material demand, coupled with rising prices in major processing centers, has fueled record-high trade volumes.

A surge in seafood imports led China to import 146,519 tonnes of Alaska pollock products in April 2026 , valued at $279 million . According to market data reported by Food World (Beijing) , persistently strong demand has driven the average import price of frozen ingredients to $1.87 per kilogram . Frozen Alaska pollock continued to anchor the overall trade, accounting for 139,897 tonnes and $261 million of total shipments , recording an impressive 95% share of monthly imports.

Russia dominates the raw material supply chain

The trade structure remains heavily skewed towards headed and gutted ( H&G ) feedstock rather than processed options. Of the 139,897 tonnes of frozen Alaskan pollock imported , Russia is the undisputed leader, supplying 135,632 tonnes worth $253 million . This single-supplier monopoly accounts for 96.9% of the entire feedstock category .

In comparison, the United States supplied 5,989 tons worth $5.54 million , while South Korea contributed 908 tons . Industry experts point out that although South Korea appears in the data, its volume largely consists of transshipments and transit shipments, confirming that global pollock supply remains tightly concentrated between Russia and the United States .

Processed fish fillets and fish meat are sold at a premium.

Although raw fish dominate in terms of quantity, the processing sector commands significantly higher prices in the market.

• Fish fillets: Total imports reached 4,952 tons ( $13.05 million ), of which Russia supplied 4,141 tons ( 83.6% ) and the United States supplied 456 tons . The average price reached $2.64 per kilogram .

• Fish meat: Total shipments amounted to 1,670 tons ( $5.07 million ), with Russia contributing 923 tons and the United States contributing 456 tons . The average price surged to $3.04 per kilogram .

Value Insight: Data shows that there are significant price differences depending on the origin of seafood. In April , premium U.S. pollock products averaged $2.45 per kilogram , surpassing the Russian average of $1.89 per kilogram , while South Korean transit products stagnated at $1.33 per kilogram .

Shandong Province consolidates its position as a seafood processing center

Regionally, Shandong continued to be the main gateway for seafood processing. The province imported 93,576 tonnes of pollock products worth US$169 million, accounting for more than 63% of the national total . Liaoning followed closely with 51,832 tonnes ( $109 million ), while Jilin imported 51,056 tonnes ( $105 million ).

Shandong also absorbed the vast majority of processed fish fillets, handling 4,093 tons ( 82.7% of the national total ), while Liaoning received 561 tons and Shanghai imported 191 tons . However, Liaoning reversed this trend in specialized fish products, capturing 1,405 tons and claiming 84% of the national market share, leaving only a small amount for Shandong , Jiangsu , Shanghai , and Beijing .

Bonded logistics maintains the operation of the supply chain.

Customs data shows that logistics and processing frameworks determine how these goods enter the country. Bonded transit remains the preferred route, with "goods entering and leaving bonded supervision areas" reaching 76,787 tons , accounting for 52.4% of the country's total imports .

Traditional processing trade accounted for 43,046 tons , while logistics goods in special customs supervision zones comprised 26,136 tons . Meanwhile, general trade channels accounted for a mere 2,162 tons , with an import value of US$5.69 million , highlighting how heavily this multi-million dollar seafood pipeline relies on specialized trading zones.
