Aquatic products accounted for one quarter of China's farm produce export last year, with two million tons sold on the world market, said sources with the Ministry of Agriculture.

More than 2.08 million tons of Chinese fish and fishery products valuing at 4.69 billion US dollars swam out to the world market last year, contributing the most to China's agricultural exports which hit 18.14 billion Us dollars, said Yang Jian, director of the ministry's Fisheries Bureau.

The country has good potential for increasing the share of its aquaculture products on international market with the help of the World Trade Organization (WTO), said the latest report on the world's fishery industry by the Food and Agriculture of the United Nations.

China is currently the world's largest producer of farm-grown aquatic products. It remained the world's largest eel exporter last year, and exports of tilapia fish jumped from 473 tons in 1998 to 32,000 tons in 2002, according to the bureau sources.
