As the country has only recently allowed companies to resume operations, the lack ofraw materials may lead to a temporary insufficient supply of nutrition health foods, inturn affecting exports in the short term.

      However, the trade body is optimistic of growth in the second half of this year as thepandemic gets under control and the global supply chain resumes normality, it said inarecent report which detailed the imports and exports of health foods in China for lastyear."

This has affected the usual product supply, and will also affect the import andexport of raw materials and finished 'products."
