Hong Kong: Inquiries Signal Strong Industry Demand for Ox Gallstones as Sales of Angong Pill Grow
In recent years, and particularly in 2024, the Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) has received inquiries from local importers looking for U.S. ox gallstones - signaling an underlying demand for this byproduct in Hong Kong. While ox gallstones may be underutilized in the United States, Hong Kong consumers see the product as a high-valued ingredient that can be used to produce Chinese medicine (such as Angong Niu Huang Wan). This report summarizes the current ox gallstone retail and pricing situation in Hong Kong and highlights market opportunities for interested U.S. exporters.
