Rising incomes in China have led to an expansion of the middle-income population, which is more inclined to consume seafood, including shrimp, as a part of its diet. Shrimp is a versatile ingredient in Chinese cuisine and is featured in a wide range of dishes, from stir-fries to dumplings, making it a staple in Chinese cooking. The Ecuadorian shrimp industry staged a comeback in the Chinese market during the 17th World Seafood Shanghai International Fair which took place in August 2023.

Key representatives from prominent shrimp exporting firms gathered to reintroduce Ecuadorian shrimp to its primary export destination, China, with the main goal of highlighting the unique qualities of Ecuadorian shrimp and strengthening its presence in this critical market. As part of this event, 16 Ecuadorian companies specializing in shrimp production and export presented their products under the brand name "FIRST CLASS SHRIMP" at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
