Production and Market of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in China

In recent years, China's MSG industry has witnessed growth in capacity and output, though there are plenty of pressures and challenges from policies and market competition. In 2012, with the industry integration of MSG, production of MSG is concentrated in a few large-scale producers, while some small-scale MSG producers have to stop production.


To give you suggestions on MSG industry, CCM has conducted an investigation of MSG industry in China to show the current situation of China's MSG industry to you as follows:
