When people think of caviar, Russia and Iran usually come to mind. But it's actually Quzhou City, in east China's Zhejiang Province, that's quietly leading the global scene. For 10 years straight, Quzhou has been the world's top caviar exporter.

The secret? Precision and speed. From harvesting to washing, draining, grading, curing and packaging – 16 steps completed in just 15 minutes. The final product can land on tables around the world in as little as 48 hours.

This isn't just gourmet food. It's a story of craftsmanship, efficiency and shared success. While global consumers indulge in luxury, Chinese fish farmers are building better lives.
