I have spent some time in China , although I 'am no expert in China food industry but I can be pretty sure that Chinese will have little or no interest in Organic food offerings by foreign company. One major reason for it I feel is that the local food producers have a very strong hold in the market and they understand the unique Chinese tastebuds/requirement much better than anyone. Moreover Hutchison Whanmpoa has little or no experience in food industry . Hain should probably change its strategy to enter with other more reasonable product which it can later leverage for expansion in China.
