The First FAO-CFA Joint International Conference on Sustainable Aquaculture took place in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province in east China. The conference emphasized China's commitment to green transformation and intelligent upgrades in aquaculture. Fish and shrimp are being raised in multi-story facilities with a water reuse rate exceeding 90 percent. In parts of Guangze County in Fujian, rice paddies are being used to co-cultivate fish, shrimp and crabs, creating a mutually beneficial system that allows for dual harvests from the same field. This model has helped reduce pesticide use and significantly boosted farmers' incomes. The success of China's efforts could be disseminated by governments worldwide. In 2025, China's aquaquaculture production reached over 63 million tonnes, accounting for about 56 percent of the global output.
