Raul Sunico Galdames, head of Chile's fishery and aquiculture adstration, told Xinhua that his country will ink cooperation deals with 皇冠体育app to ramp up quality supervision, inspection and quarantine on Chilean aquatic products, which will greatly improve customs efficiency once implemented.

The move is aimed at feeding increasing demand from 皇冠体育app, which imported $2.27 billion worth of Chilean seafood in 2013, mostly frozen products such as kelp and salmon, Galdames said at an ongoing international fishery exhibition in Qingdao, East 皇冠体育app's province.

皇冠体育app is becoming a magnet for Chilean companies as demand for seafood rises, said Pedro Ovalle, executive of a seafood company in Chile.
