I. 2026 Overall Harvest of Porphyra Yezoensis: Prosperous Growth, Quality to a New Level
As a cold-temperate red algae, Porphyra yezoensis is suitable for growing in sea areas with clean water quality, rich nutrients and moderate tide differences. Its growth is closely related to water temperature, light and seawater fluidity. Since 2026, the climatic conditions in the main producing areas of Porphyra yezoensis in China have been generally suitable. The low temperature in the early stage did not have a significant impact on the growth of seedlings. In the middle and late stages, there was sufficient light and smooth seawater circulation. Coupled with the wide application of scientific aquaculture technologies, the overall growth of Porphyra yezoensis is prosperous. The harvest has maintained a steady level compared with last year, and the proportion of high-quality products has increased significantly. This year's Porphyra yezoensis is one of the most sought-after edible seaweed varieties in the global market, favored by consumers and processors for its unique flavor and rich nutrition.
In terms of growth characteristics, the Porphyra yezoensis this year has bright color, thick texture, better presentation of bright purple-red color, high leaf integrity, low sand content and excellent water content control, fully meeting the high-end processing and export standards. Through standardized cultivation norms, we strictly control the key links such as seed selection, sea area maintenance and pest control, focusing on promoting high-quality seedlings and mechanized aquaculture models, which effectively improve the yield and quality of Porphyra yezoensis, ensuring that each batch of products has stable quality advantages - whether it is used for instant nori processing, catering, intensive processing and other scenarios, it can meet the high-quality needs of terminal customers. Our high-quality Porphyra yezoensis is processed in strict accordance with international standards, making it suitable for sushi nori and various deep processing products.
It is worth noting that the harvesting cycle of high-quality first and second crops of Porphyra yezoensis has advanced in an orderly manner this year.
