KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 (Bernama) -- Xinhua-Tsaidam Goji Berry Price Index was released jointly by China Economic Information Service (CEIS) of Xinhua News Agency and the government of Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Beijing, China recently.
Deputy Secretary General of Qinghai Provincial Government, Ma Rui said Tsaidam Basin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the second-largest planting base of goji berries in China.
An expert in organic products, Xu Changqing said demands for the high-end goji berries are increasing in the domestic market. The release of the index has provided a good reference for consumers.
The index covers Tsaidam's organic goji berry price index and Tsaidam's green goji berry price index and the sample covers more than 90 per cent of certified organic and green goji berries in Haixi.
The base period for the price index was set in August 2015, with the base points at 1,000.
In April 2018, data shows that the organic goji berry price index was 921.06 points, down 7.89 per cent from the base period and the green goji berry price index was 537.58 points, down 46.24 per cent from the base period.
