JLWT news looks good. Wish there was some idea on what it could mean in revenue--although it does say MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR Potential if the entire project moves forward. For such a small company like JLWT, this could be huge.

Time will tell.

Janel World Trade Receives USTDA Grant Approval for Pilot Project in China

Project to begin in spring; Places Janel as a leading player in major lake cleanup supported by the Chinese government

JAMAICA, N.Y., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated transportation, logistics and environmental services, today announced it has received approval from the United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) for a grant to conduct a pilot project in Meigliang Bay (Lake Tai) China in the spring of 2010.

Janel had completed all comprehensive and successful testing on the effectiveness and safety of Clear Blue 104™ as an effective algaecide and bactericide in live lake conditions last year. The explosion of algae and its related problems is the daunting issue facing Lake Tai, a body of water the size of Lake Huron and the primary source of drinking water for the city of Shanghai. The problem impacts other major sources of drinking water in China and around the globe.

This successful testing was the first important step toward obtaining the USTDA grant, which carries US support and approval for the project because it could lead the way to a broader use of US products and services in the China environmental market. Janel is the sole distributor of Clear Blue in China, where it is a registered product.

Over the past 18 months, the company has leveraged its presence in China and its expertise in providing worldwide logistic and project management services to build a consortium of US and Chinese companies with specific skill sets and expertise. Accordingly, under the leadership of the Janel Project Management Division, Janel will bring technology, products and services to bear on this daunting environmental problem.

In addition to supplying the Clear Blue product, Janel Project Management Division will be responsible for providing the project design and management, freight forwarding, product application, technology supporting local dredging, sediment remediation, warehousing, monitoring, analysis and reports on the Lake Tai pilot project.

"This pilot test -- which should only take weeks to complete and verify -- could be the first step and lead the way toward the start of a multi-billion dollar project on Lake Tai," said Paul McCreary, President of Janel's Project Management Division. "The Chinese government has already publicly stated the cleanup of the lake is a priority, and The World Bank has pledged financial and organizational support to the undertaking. We believe our presence in China combined with almost two years of research, time and resources spent on the project, put Janel in a solid position to participate in this and other environmental initiatives around the globe."

In applying for the grant, the company enlisted and gained important support from Congressmen Gregory Meeks (Dem. NY), Michael McMahon (Dem. NY) and Senators Charles Schumer (Dem. NY) and Robert Menendez (Dem. NJ). "Our representatives and Senators were instrumental in driving support for the USTDA grant for this project," said James Janello, CEO of Janel. "The weight, importance and commitment of the US government behind us and their commitment to enhancing US exports is immeasurable and a critical component of our progress.

"This is the first step of what could prove to be the dawn of a new era for our company. In addition to Lake Tai, we continue to hold discussions and review the feasibility of bringing the essential components to provide a complete environmental solution to major water problems around the globe."
