Exporting rock lobster to Europe

The European market for rock lobster is unique. This is not only because of its niche and specialised demand, mostly catering to high-end retailers and restaurants, but also because it is a product with limited availability around the world. The demand almost always exceeds the supply and, for this reason, rock lobster is expensive. Rock lobster is mostly consumed during special occasions and holidays. To be able to attract European buyers, you must meet the requirements regarding safety, quality and sustainability. As an exporter, your biggest potential lies in the export of frozen and live lobster to Europe particularly to Spain, France, and trading nations like Belgium.
