For Utah's natural products industry, reliable sourcing starts with the right relationships.

Join World Trade Center Utah, the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA), Greenberg Traurig, and the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines & Health Products (CCCMHPIE) for a Global Gateway event focused on strengthening U.S.-China ingredient supply chains and expanding trade cooperation.

Connect with executives from 17 China-based ingredient companies supplying botanicals, mushroom ingredients, natural astaxanthin, collagen, plant peptides, and more. Explore sourcing opportunities, discuss supplier qualifications, and gain practical insights into the legal and trade considerations shaping cross-border business.

Advancing U.S.-China trade cooperation

UNPA and CCCMHPIE are developing the U.S.-China Dietary Supplement and Food Ingredient Supply Chain and Trade Cooperation Initiative to strengthen supply chains supporting U.S. manufacturing and create a foundation for more reciprocal trade.

The first phase focuses on China-origin ingredients entering the United States, with an emphasis on supplier relationships, documentation, testing, and traceability aligned with U.S. purchaser requirements.

Insights from this work will help inform a second phase focused on exporting U.S.-manufactured finished products to China.
