Metro Green is the first and only high-end distribution platform authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture for certified green, organic and imported foods in China. We believe that we have three distinctive advantages that separate us from others. All the vendors in our wholesale markets are certified by the government, all products in our wholesale market can be traced to their origins and all products have passed the quality assurance and safety testing of SGS, a third party food inspector.”
