Diversify input material supply

For export industry associations, closely coordinate with state management agencies to promptly provide information on policy mechanisms and international trade market movements to advise and guide member businesses to proactively develop plans in production and export.

It is recommended that member enterprises pay attention to ensuring the origin of input materials for production, meeting the requirements of importing countries on food hygiene and safety, traceability, and avoiding fraud of goods origin.
