There is also the matter of inflation, said Lamont. Consumers are more focused on the price of a litre of gas or hamburger at a superstore than buying a premium product like live lobster or snow crab.

Lobster exports have also slowed down, especially to China, which usually makes up for 40 to 60 per cent of live lobster exports in Nova Scotia in a year.Article content Lamont said he is also struggling to get lobster onto airplanes to be exported due to staffing shortages.
