An international marine industry park, is currently being built in the Aoqian town, Pingtan, Fujian province, as part of local government's efforts to further the development of the aquatic products processing industry in the city.

With an investment of 900 million yuan($ 130.7 million), the 40,000-square-meter park shall be composed of a seven-story cold storage facility, a three-story aquatic products processing workshop, as well as an equipment warehouse. The cold storage facility will have a storage capacity of 50,000 tons, with an annual storage volume estimated to reach almost 500,000 tons. After the marine industry park is completed, it will be able to freeze and process about 3.4 tons of aquatic products every year.

In light of its geographical and transportation advantages, the park will also promote aquatic products trade with neighboring countries and regions including Taiwan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), making contributions to the development of the Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone.
