Outlying pharmacies see success in sales

A pilot program undertaken in August to encourage pharmacies across the country to sell infant formula should expand to less-developed provinces, said an official in the organization that led the program.

Xu Jing, director of the International Brand Management Center, said the program was launched on Aug 14 as a trial run requested by the central government.

The center is a department of the China Association of International Trade, under the Ministry of Commerce.
