Hainan fish on global tables: testament to successful Hainan Fresh Products initiative
HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 April 2025 - At the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo held in Hainan recently, Wang Kangzheng, a marketing staff member of the Hainan Haiken Marine Industry Group Co., Ltd., has been busy showcasing premium seafood. Golden pompano produced in the deep-sea aquaculture base was a bestseller at the exhibition, and many buyers and visitors stopped to inquire, taste, and order.

'These golden pompanos were cultivated in the deep sea of Changjiang, Hainan, featuring no intermuscular bones, delicious meat, abundant unsaturated fatty acids, and multiple trace elements.' Wang Kangzheng said.
As the southernmost tropical island province in China, Hainan boasts a vast sea area, pristine water, and a suitable climate, which are ideal for fishery.
In recent years, Hainan has redoubled efforts in deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture and proposed three priorities: the shore, the deep sea, and recreational fishery. By the end of 2024, the scale of deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture water bodies exceeded 8.5 million cubic meters, and the total output of aquatic products reached 1.814 million tons, more than half of which were supplied to the domestic and international markets.

'At least 150,000 kilograms of golden pompanos caught in our deep-sea aquaculture base have been exported to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia during this harvest season,' Wu Zhiduo, chairman of Hainan Haiken Marine Industry Group Co., Ltd., expressed his joy at supplying dining tables around the world. In addition, Haiken has recently launched the Sanya Bay Deep-sea and Far-sea Aquaculture Project, focusing on the cultivation of high value-added deep-sea fish species with Hainan characteristics, such as golden pompano and grouper, to drive the construction of modern marine ranches.
Tilapia, known as the 'fish of the 21st century,' has 'grown' into a large industry since it 'swam' to Hainan nearly three decades ago in the 20th century. According to the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, almost 30% of China's exported tilapia are produced in Hainan, while most of the tilapia in the European and American markets comes from China.
Hainan, where amberjack fries have been exported to Japan for nearly 40 years, plays a key role in global amberjack production. The Wanning Marine Fishery Association revealed that Hainan catches about 15 million natural fries every year, contributing to about 70% of China's total exports. Earlier this month, a Japanese-flagged ship loaded with 170,000 amberjack fries set sail, marking the first batch of fry exports in the province this year.
As stated by the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Hainan promotes smart deep-sea aquaculture by adopting advanced data management and precise feeding systems so that professionals make informed decisions based on real-time parameters. Feed provided in the preset time and amount not only avoids waste but also boosts efficiency and quality. Today, Hainan's golden pompano, grouper, tilapia, tuna, and other aquatic products are favored by more and more countries and regions: one reason is the excellent climate, while the other is detail-oriented scientific aquaculture.
In fact, Hainan's aquatic product export has been constantly growing, thanks to the business-friendly policies of the Free Trade Port, the measures taken for the high-quality development of agricultural international trade, and the Hainan Fresh Products initiative. Nothing demonstrates the achievements better than data provided by the Haikou Customers: from January to February this year, Hainan's aquatic products exported to the USA, the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, France, and Israel increased by 39.6%, 33.8%, 109.9%, 75.7%, 75.3%, and 52.2%, respectively.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler Calls on California Governor Gavin Newsom to Request Disaster Declaration for Small Businesses Impacted by L.A. Riots
Agency Requests Authorization to Deliver Aid to Victims of Looting, Property Destruction WASHINGTON, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to request an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Declaration to authorize the agency to begin delivering urgent assistance to small businesses across Los Angeles that have been ransacked by rioters since civil unrest began last week. The agency stands ready to deliver critical aid to innocent American victims – whose storefronts have been looted and destroyed by the migrant mob that is wreaking havoc in defense of criminal illegal aliens. 'We're giving Gavin Newsom the opportunity to stop siding with criminal illegal aliens and start siding with law-abiding Americans – many of whom have lost everything to the violent and destructive riots across Los Angeles,' said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. 'The migrant mob has looted stores, destroyed storefronts, and committed criminal acts of vandalism against our small businesses. Although local leaders are allowing Los Angeles to burn, federal partners are ready to help American citizens rebuild – and we will do so, as soon as the Governor answers their call for help.' For the safety of employees and small business owners, Administrator Loeffler recently announced that SBA would be relocating its Regional Office out of Los Angeles due to the city's refusal to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Regional Office is located mere steps from the violence that continues to occur in downtown Los Angeles – and where U.S. Marines have been deployed to restore order. The SBA has provided the state of California with all relevant information needed to request an EIDL Declaration – which will allow small businesses in Los Angeles to apply for low-interest, long-term loans of up to $2 million to help them rebuild following the catastrophic violence of this weekend. Given the urgency of the situation, the SBA is committed to approving any such disaster declaration as soon as it is submitted by Governor Newsom.

American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade
American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade originally appeared on Parade. Attention all traveling foodies: American Airlines is rolling out a deliciously major upgrade. The airline is celebrating some of its popular summer travel destinations with a new European-inspired in-flight dining menu beginning June 11 for customers flying in Flagship Business, a Flagship Suite Preferred seat, or a Flagship Suite seat on select European routes. Routes that will feature the menu include Paris (CDG) and Nice (NCE), France; Rome (FCO), Venice (VCE), Naples (NAP), and Milan (MXP), Italy; Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD), Spain; Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC), Germany; London (LHR) and Edinburgh (EDI), United Kingdom; and Dublin (DUB), Ireland. The menu items inspired by France are ratatouille and a porcini short rib paired with polenta and blue cheese, while the Italian-inspired menu features an herbed short rib with pea risotto and pan-seared halibut with fingerling potatoes. Would it be a German menu without schnitzel and spaetzle? American Airlines isn't taking that risk, adding both to the menu with potatoes and blistered tomatoes accompanying the schnitzel, and grilled zucchini, cremini mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes joining the spaetzle. The theme continues with the Spain-inspired menu items, going coastal with a mar y mar paella and a seared sea bass served with squid ink rice, while the U.K. is represented with mustard-crumb lamb served with turnips, peas and baby carrots, and a peppercorn short rib with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. That's not the only change being implemented, as the airline is now giving customers more time to make their pre-order selections by adjusting the pre-order meal window to 20 hours before departure, giving them four additional hours than they currently have to select their in-flight meal.

Posthaste: Why the Canadian dollar is going up when the economy is going down
A funny thing has been happening to the Canadian dollar lately. Despite evidence that the economy is weakening, the currency has been going up, not down, rising 3 per cent against the U.S. dollar since President Donald Trump's Liberation Day. That's not usually how it works, but some strategists think this is more than just a temporary overshoot. Desjardins Group expects the divergence will continue to widen in coming months, with the loonie rising to 74 cents U.S. by the end of this year and to almost 77 cents U.S. by the end of the next. It was trading up at 73.08 this morning. The forecast is based on the U.S. dollar losing strength rather than the Canadian dollar gaining it, said Mirza Shaheryar Baig, a foreign exchange strategist with Desjardins. The loonie's performance against other major currencies has not been stellar. 'Net-net, a strong loonie is the result of a shift in global capital flows leading to a broadly weaker U.S. dollar,' he said. Since Liberation Day the U.S. dollar has become positively correlated with stocks. 'In other words, it has lost its safe haven appeal. This matters because many Canadian institutional investors who did not hedge the currency risk on their U.S. investments are now being forced to raise their hedge ratios,' said Shaheryar Baig. The outlook for the U.S. economy is also weakening. Coming out of the pandemic, it grew faster than other economies, but that has changed. Expectations for U.S. growth have dropped and are now in line with other advanced economies, he said. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned last week that Trump's tariff war will sap global growth in 2025 and it gave the United States the biggest downgrade among G7 nations. The OECD sees its growth slowing sharply from 2.8 per cent in 2024 to 1.6 per cent this year, and 1.5 per cent next. Trump's tactics to raise the income share of American workers is also unnerving investors, said Shaheryar Baig. Telling Walmart Inc. 'to eat the tariffs' and threatening Apple Inc. with duties on products made out of the country does not help boost the profits investors are looking for. 'To many investors, American capitalism now resembles Chinese 'common prosperity,'' he said. Desjardins admits its forecast has risks. America dodged a widely expected recession in 2023 and its economy could surprise again. Carry trade in the U.S. dollar, which has the highest deposit yields in the G7, could also revive, he said. The downside of a strong Canadian dollar against the greenback is that it makes exports more expensive, a drag on Canada's already fragile economy. Desjardins believes this will force the Bank of Canada to cut its interest rate another 75 basis points to 2 per cent this year. to get Posthaste delivered straight to your manufacturing sector has been slammed by tariffs, but now new data shows that services, which makes up a much bigger share of the economy, are suffering too. S&P Global's Services PMI for May shows this sector is not only in contraction, but is also the weakest of all 14 countries covered, said National Bank of Canada economists. Earlier last week S&P Global's manufacturing PMI put Canada as the lowest among 30 countries.
