Management Comments
Mr. Xinrong Zhuo, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented, Since the beginning of 2018, the Company started deploying rebuilt new vessels into operation in several groups and we have experienced a steady growth of sales volume and saw an increase in sales volume for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. However, product prices are subject to fluctuation due to market situation. During the quarter, the Company’s highest sales revenue and volume by single fish species were from the one species with the lowest average price, and this resulted in a decrease in our revenue compared to the same period of 2018. Besides, it was monsoon season this quarter, which made it difficult to transport catches back, and our fish landings for the quarter decreased compared to the previous quarter this year, another factor impacting our revenue. We believe that production capacity improvement plays a significant role in boosting revenue growth. As we disclosed in our previous earnings release, the Company has 31 new vessels in different phases of modification and rebuilding. As of, all of these vessels are completed, 25 of which have departed from port for sea and most of them have reached the designated fishing grounds; the remaining 6 vessels are expected to set their sail to the international waters of the Indian Ocean in the near future after fulfillment of departure preparation. The Company has been committed to improving catching capacity and expanding species of catches by actively exploring for other available fishing areas in international waters. We also made efforts in exploring other business models as well, to enhance our business strategy. This may include entering the international trade markets through strategic partnerships.
