China and the Ornamental Aquatic Industry
Dr. Alex Ploeg, Secretary General, Ornamental Fish International
To
the average westerner, China is a very large country, inhabited by an
enormous amount of hardworking people, individuals with different
behaviour, different food, a language which is very difficult for us to
understand and speak, and a society that appears unfamiliar and
somewhat mysterious. However, not all Dutch people wear wooden shoes
and they do more than simply grow tulips, not all Americans drive
cattle in the prairies, not every Indian rides elephants and the
English do not all drink their martinis shaken, not stirred. Once we
get to know one another, we will all see that we are more similar than
we might have expected, and the Aquatic Ornamental Fish Trade is one
way for us to get to know each other.
