Nation's 'prawn capital' holding its lead in industry

Small prawns will grow into a big industry in the coastal city of Zhanjiang, according to the local government.

The government announced in a new development plan that the prawn cultivation and processing industry will be an important part of the city's "marine economy".

The government has promised to implement new preferential policies for the industries, and it will stress quality supervision to meet the public's rising expectations of safer and healthier food.
