What are the minimum order quantities?+

Samples from 100ml or 100g are available for product development. Commercial MOQ is 1kg for most food additives. Propionic acid and other liquid preservatives are available in 25kg drums or 200kg barrels. Flavour esters can be supplied in glass bottles, jerricans, or drums depending on quantity.

Food Additives

Food additives are synthetic or natural substances added to food to improve the color, flavor, taste and other qualities, as well as for the preservation and processing process needs. At present, China has 23 categories of food additives, with more than 2000 varieties.

Sourcing Food Additives in China

China's total food additive output accounts for about 15% of the international food additive trade, in some special varieties, which has taken an important position in the international arena.

 

At present, there are about 3,000 food additive manufacturers in China, with a wide variety and different strengths. Although China's total export volume is large, the scale of manufacturers is relatively small. Its competition is also very fierce, coupled with the state control of food additive manufacturers in recent years.

 

Problems you may face if you are not familiar with the Chinese market:

  • Many and varied suppliers, which cannot provide the appropriate certificates and services.
  • Difficulty in finding suitable plants, as they are all small in size.
  • New additives, formulations, etc., for which suppliers cannot be found easily.
  • Product quality or price fluctuation.
