In a significant development for the kratom industry, key stakeholders have reached a groundbreaking agreement on the classification of kratom and 7-hydroxymitragynine products. The American Kratom Association (AKA) and the Natural Plant Products Alliance (NPPA) are set to announce this major policy shift on October 8, 2024, at a press conference in Washington, D.C. The agreement, which aims to address concerns about adulterated and misbranded kratom products, is expected to have far-reaching implications for consumers, retailers, and manufacturers. Industry experts anticipate that this new classification system will enhance product safety and transparency while potentially paving the way for more standardized regulation. As reported by Reuters, the announcement is likely to reshape the landscape of the kratom market in the United States.
