What is Cili？A Distinctive Fruit Ingredient from Guizhou, China

Yuanix works directly with source producers in Guizhou, connecting cultivation, processing and export with European food and beverage companies.

Start Small, Then Scale
Introducing a relatively unfamiliar fruit to a new market does not need to start with a large commercial order. We support a step-by-step development process.
- Sample — Receive samples for initial internal evaluation.
- Product Test — Evaluate flavour, formulation and application possibilities with your R&D team.
- Pilot Batch — Test the concept through a small production run or limited launch.
- Scale Up — Once the product has been validated, larger-volume supply can be discussed.
This gives brands and manufacturers a lower-risk way to explore a new ingredient.
OEM & Private Label
In addition to ingredient supply, we can discuss cooperation involving: OEM Production, Private Label, Custom Formulation, Custom Packaging, Product Development, Small-Batch Production.
