The report citing an unnamed exporter said the recently exported crawfish was just for a trial and more of them are expected to be available in Dubai in the future.
Previously, Hubei delivered about 100,000 crawfish to Moscow for soccer fans from around the world during the 2018 FIFA World Cup soccer championships, which concluded on July 15.
Hubei alone accounts for 55 percent of the country's crawfish industry, with 1.13 million metric tons in annual output, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in June.
