Ingredient supplier Royal DSM announced a major reduction of vitamin C production from Jiangshan, China. It will evaluate whether or not to ramp up production in 2023 after the Chinese New Year.
 
Continuing usual output levels in the area is not sustainable with current pricing, the company reported, and DSM will use its vitamin C stocks and allocate production to areas across the global DSM production network to ensure supply. The Quali-C production in Dalry, Scotland is not impacted.
 
The local, temporary measure will ensure the long-term sustainability and profitability of producing key vitamins, as well as lowering the company’s working capital.
