Lan Ong

Lan Ong is the manager of Wing Hop Fung, a family-owned business in Arcadia, California, which specializes in importing teas, Chinese herbs, and other Asian products. With her parents having founded the store in 1985, Lan is keenly aware of the challenges posed by increasing tariffs on imports from China, which threaten the viability of small minority-owned businesses like hers. As the demand for specialty grocery ingredients continues to rise, Lan is working diligently with suppliers to navigate the financial impacts of the trade war.
