The Impact on Squid Export Price through Packaging Weight Standardization from Taiwanese Jigging Vessel

Abstract
In 1972, Taiwan¡¦s first squid jigging vessel ¡§YUNG CHUNG¡¨ succeeded in developing fishing ground at Sea of Japan. Since that time, Taiwanese squid jigging vessels keep succeeding in developing new Squid fishing grounds in New Zealand, North Pacific Ocean, and Southwest of the Atlantic Ocean.
Because the squid catch continued to grow, Taiwan began to export squid products to China, Japan, South Korea, North America, and Europe.
In volumes, the top three countries of catching squids are Taiwan, China and South Korea vessels at present. However, in reality, even the freezing ability and catching quality of Taiwanese jigging vessels are much better than the other two countries, the export price for Taiwanese catch are the lowest.
The major factor is because the packaging weight has not been standardized. It reduces the purchase willingness and the selling price in the overseas markets for Taiwanese catches.
Currently, Taiwan now has 105 squid jigging vessels, but each vessel process the catch in their own way. Therefore, it makes the crew difficult to follow the work procedures which influence the efficiency, and result in inconsistent of the packaging weight.
This research we use ¡§Analytical Hierarchy Process¡¨. Through consulting with the experts and studying based from the historical documents, we try to establish the key factors on the construction and design of our questionnaire.
We then collect the answers from the fishery companies in Taiwan and sea food processing factories in China, and then we confirm the results trough the statistical analysis.
We hope through a dependable data and solid research, we can provide concrete recommendations to squid fishery companies, processing factories, and Fisheries Agency of the Government on benefits of packaging weight standardization. We then hope that the ultimate goal is to help raise the Taiwanese squid price in overseas markets.
