Tariffs for frozen lobster and shellfish are much higher than for live lobster. Eliminating tariffs would be very important, especially for countries like Vietnam, where a high volume of shellfish passes through on the way to China. There are also the Japanese markets. In the east and the west, be it in emerging or developed countries, habits are changing, especially among young people, who usually want to be able to prepare their meals much more quickly. Live products, which take a relatively long time to prepare, and which are not easy to prepare, are often being replaced by frozen products. So there's a lot of potential for all countries that are part of the partnership.
