The move comes as NPA confirmed its continued participation in the US Department of Commerce’s (USDOC) China Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) through fiscal year 2010.
The award was first granted to NPA in 2007 and has allowed it to set up relationships with Chinese government agencies and organizations active in the natural products arena.
Its activates so far have included providing training sessions on quality assurance and US regulations to over 200 Chinese exporters of supplement ingredients.
