"Chinese Seafood Firms Pivot to Export Strategy Amid Renminbi Depreciation"
Executives from a Guangdong-based seafood firm, speaking on condition of anonymity due to governmental currency regulations, reveal that currency hedging concerns are driving China's seafood sector to prioritize exports. With some company funds held in foreign currencies abroad, a weaker renminbi translates to lower operating costs relative to sales prices, facilitating price reductions in export currencies like the US dollar.
Lower export prices enable increased sales volumes and market share capture for the firm, specializing in processed shrimp and tilapia. Discussions with American clients to lower prices aim to boost orders amidst currency fluctuations.
While a weaker currency potentially boosts production, China's government has historically aimed for self-reliance across various sectors, including seafood, to meet domestic demand and strengthen export capabilities.
Despite government indications of comfort with a depreciating renminbi, policy adjustments may impact investment and subsidy schemes crucial for industries outlined in China's Made in China 2025 plan, designed to enhance self-sufficiency and innovation.
While Western businesses may benefit from a weaker renminbi for manufacturing in China, Chinese processors face challenges due to increased import costs, impacting both domestic consumption and export competitiveness.
