Religious products are a small minority industry, which not many people concerned about in daily life. We can see there are only 349 products list on Alibaba, and only 31 suppliers on MIC if you search the keywords “Joss stick”. Compared with other industries, this is a very niche industry.
I know many markets in Guangzhou and even wrote an article about the Guangzhou market list. I never pay attention to where there is such a wholesale market, although I have been staying in Guangzhou for many years.
We can find out 3 markets in Guangzhou, China, with an online search such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing.
The 3 markets are the following:
- Hualin International jade wholesale market
