China: Can US Crawfish Make a Splash in China

Crawfish in China have become popular in restaurants as a late-night snack and a fun meal item to share among friends. Major online delivery companies have also tapped into this trend by delivering live and prepared crawfish directly to consumers. In 2018, domestic production increased 45 percent in volume due to growing demand. Many Chinese industry contacts consider U.S. crawfish to be raised in a more natural environment, and thus are perceived to be healthier, compared to domestically produced crawfish. Even though Chinese tariffs on U.S. crawfish are currently at 42 percent, importers have expressed interest in sourcing U.S. supplies to meet soaring demand. Due to the specialized nature of this product, U.S. exporters are encouraged to contact USDA Agricultural Trade Offices in China for more information about how to link up with Chinese importers.
