China offers several routes for sourcing sodium bicarbonate: large integrated chemical producers, specialist baking-soda manufacturers and export suppliers that coordinate grades, documents and international orders. A useful shortlist should show what each company does and how it fits your purchasing requirements.
This guide compares five manufacturers and suppliers: Inner Mongolia Berun Chemical, Bergano Chemical, Shandong Haihua, Hengyang Aijie and Hunan Hailian Sanyi. Each profile identifies the company’s role, product focus and buying fit.
Published by Bergano Chemical, which is included in this comparison as an exporter. This is a sourcing guide, not a ranking: companies are not scored or ordered by quality. Manufacturing capacity, export volume and service capabilities describe different things and should be compared accordingly.

Compare five manufacturers and suppliers
Inner Mongolia Berun Chemical
Company role: Integrated chemical manufacturing group.
Production or supply focus: Natural-alkali soda ash and sodium bicarbonate. Its production enterprises include Zhongyuan Chemical, and its published bicarbonate portfolio includes the Malan brand.
What distinguishes it: The company's 2026 disclosure reports baking-soda production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year for 2025 and describes that capacity as the largest in China. Its natural-alkali resource base and group production structure make it a significant name for buyers investigating manufacturing scale.
Buying fit: Buyers evaluating large-volume, recurring sodium bicarbonate requirements and established production groups.
Buying details: The contracting sales entity, producing plant, offered grade and batch documentation. The group separates production and sales, so a sales subsidiary and the plant should not be counted as independent manufacturers.
Bergano Chemical
Company role: China-based chemical exporter.
Production or supply focus: Food, feed, industrial and pharmaceutical-grade sodium bicarbonate, with annual sodium bicarbonate exports of approximately 10,000 tonnes across all grades.
What distinguishes it: Bergano supports low-MOQ orders and multiple products in one container, provides specification sheets and SDS, and supplies a batch COA with every shipment. Bergano commissions annual third-party testing of its sodium bicarbonate at a laboratory in the Netherlands, with reports issued to Bergano.
Buying fit: Importers and distributors needing flexible quantities, multiple products in an order, coordinated export documentation and repeat replenishment. Bergano's value is organizing the supply and export requirements around the customer's order.
Buying details: Choose food, feed, industrial or pharmaceutical grade and the documents needed for your market. Ordinary orders are usually dispatched within about one week. We confirm the final product mix, minimum quantities and dispatch date in your quotation.
Shandong Haihua
Company role: Salt-chemical manufacturer.
Production or supply focus: Sodium bicarbonate alongside other salt-chemical products. Shandong Haihua identifies a dedicated sodium bicarbonate plant, and its official product portfolio includes food-additive sodium bicarbonate.
What distinguishes it: An established listed producer based in Weifang, Shandong, with a clearly identifiable bicarbonate manufacturing operation. Its annual report documents sodium bicarbonate production and sales within its wider chemical business.
Buying fit: Buyers comparing established Chinese production sources for food-additive sodium bicarbonate and recurring bulk orders.
Buying details: The precise product specification, available particle size, packaging and export sales route. Check the legal company name on the quotation and product documents when dealing with similarly named sales businesses.
Hengyang Aijie Technology
Company role: Specialist sodium bicarbonate manufacturer.
Production or supply focus: Snowflake-brand baking soda, with food, feed and industrial categories presented in its product range.
What distinguishes it: Its official company profile identifies Hengyang Aijie and describes overseas markets including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the United States and Europe. Aijie is based in Hengyang, Hunan, and describes bicarbonate production using local rock-salt resources. Sodium bicarbonate is central to its manufacturing business, giving buyers a specialist producer to compare alongside larger diversified chemical groups.
Buying fit: Buyers comparing multiple sodium bicarbonate grades within a specialist producer's range.
Buying details: The exact grade and particle-size specification, current supporting documents and order terms. Match the offered product to the application rather than relying on a general company-level description.
Hunan Hailian Sanyi
Company role: Specialist bicarbonate and carbonate manufacturer.
Production or supply focus: Sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, with mining, processing, development and sales described as part of its business.
What distinguishes it: Its company history documents exports across international markets. Based in Hengyang, Hunan, the company was formerly known as Hengyang Hailian Salt-Brine Chemical. Its product portfolio includes a coarse-granule sodium bicarbonate option, providing a concrete point of comparison for buyers whose processes require a particular physical form.
Buying fit: Buyers comparing particle-size or granule options as well as chemical specifications.
Buying details: The particle-size distribution and current grade documentation for the product offered. A published description of one granule product should not be treated as the specification for every product in the range.
Who is the largest sodium bicarbonate manufacturer in China?
Inner Mongolia Berun Chemical's 2026 company disclosure reports 1.5 million tonnes per year of baking-soda production capacity for 2025 and states that this ranks first in China.
That is a dated, group-level capacity statement. It is different from a single production line's capacity, actual annual output or a supplier's export volume. Planned expansions also need to be distinguished from operating capacity.
Scale is useful when assessing a producer's position, but it does not by itself determine the best supplier for your order. Grade suitability, order size, packaging, shipment planning and documentation remain part of the buying decision.
Factory direct or export supplier: which route fits your order?
Factory direct for large, repeat orders of one product
Direct manufacturer sourcing can suit buyers with substantial, predictable demand for a single grade or SKU. A purchasing team that can manage qualification, packaging requirements and import arrangements can focus discussions on production consistency and repeat delivery schedules.
For this route, establish the producing site and product specification early. Compare the complete quotation, including packaging and delivery basis, rather than assuming that a factory quotation always gives the lowest delivered cost.
Export suppliers for flexible, multi-product purchasing
An export supplier can be useful when the order combines several products, when quantities vary or when the buyer wants one contact coordinating commercial documents and shipment arrangements.
For importers building a product range, low-MOQ and mixed-order options can make purchasing more practical. For established distributors, replenishment planning and consistent document handling can be as important as the price of a single full-container order.
Bergano works in this export-supply role. Buyers can discuss the required sodium bicarbonate grade alongside other products and agree on packing, documentation and shipment timing for the combined order.
How to choose the best sodium bicarbonate supplier for your requirements
Start with the product and buying conditions that matter to your business:
- Required grade and use. State food, feed, industrial or pharmaceutical requirements clearly. Compare the offered specification with your intended application.
- Technical and batch documents. Review the specification sheet, SDS and COA requirements. Identify any additional customer qualification documents before ordering.
- Physical form and packaging. Confirm particle size where relevant, bag size, pallet requirements and loading arrangements.
- Order pattern. Explain whether you need a large single-product shipment, a smaller order, a mixed shipment or scheduled replenishment.
- Delivery basis. Compare offers using the same destination and Incoterm, with dispatch timing separated from transit time.
For Bergano's available grades, start with the sodium bicarbonate range, or review food-grade sodium bicarbonate, feed-grade sodium bicarbonate and industrial-grade sodium bicarbonate.
