中國去年訂購加拿大龍蝦數量突破300噸

Perhaps one of the best and most recent examples showing the potential of the Chinese market involves the humble Canadian lobster.

不起眼的加拿大龍蝦也許是展現中國市場潛力的最佳、最新範例之一。

When you visit the high-end restaurants of Shanghai's Pudong district, you learn that restaurants here dish up lobster, and plenty of it.

當你前往上海浦東區的高檔次餐廳的時候，你會發現這些餐廳都供應龍蝦，而且數量不少。

That being said, according people in the business, lobster more than five years ago wasn't even popular in China. Somehow, things started to take off.

話雖這麼說，但是商界人士表示，就在五年多以前，龍蝦在中國並不受熱捧。不知何故，龍蝦開始大熱。

In fact, the market has exploded far beyond the walls of splashy restaurants with their succulent dishes.

實際上，龍蝦市場規模呈爆發式增長，已遠遠不侷限於提供美味菜餚的高檔餐廳了。

All of a sudden, Chinese consumers were ordering Canadian lobster directly through online vendors like Alibaba. In 2014, Chinese people bought 100 tonnes of Canadian lobster on Alibaba. In 2015, Chinese people bought more than 300 tons of Canadian lobster on Alibaba.

一時間，中國消費者通過阿里巴巴等在線供應商直接訂購加拿大龍蝦。2014年，國人從阿里巴巴平臺購買的加拿大龍蝦達到了100噸。而在2015年，國人從阿里巴巴平臺購買的加拿大龍蝦甚至突破了300噸。
