Chinese President Xi Jinping (left) admires a case of Rainforest Seafoods' Jamaican lobster in the company of Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Jampro President Diane Edwards, at the Jamaica pavilion during the second China International Import Expo in Shanghai yesterday. Jamaica is participating at the expo as a âguest country of honourâ. Rainforest Seafoods started shipping live lobsters to Shenzhen, China, last year August. At the time, the company's Business Development Manager Max Jardim said, âConsumers in mainland China will pay top dollar for their lobsters alive. Therefore, it is critical to ensure the best quality and the strongest animals are exported.â Rainforest, the first Jamaican company to export this type of seafood to that region of China, said it was hoping to export one ton of live lobsters per week.â
