"The goji berry harvest season begins every year in the middle of June and lasts until the middle of August. This year, the price of goji berries showed a continuous rise that began after Chinese Spring Festival [February 5th, 2019]. The main reason for this development is the dwindling supply of last season's goji berries from warehouses. The new harvest has not yet entered the market. At the same time, the demand for goji berries is growing among Chinese consumers and abroad. These two aspects combined explain why the price of goji berries is currently this high." This is according to Evan Guo of Ningxia Baishi Hengxing Food Technology and Science Co., Ltd.
Goji berry harvest
"The price fluctuations in the Chinese goji berry market are relatively high in comparison with other agricultural products. This is mainly a result of the relationship between supply and demand. We have a new price report every single week. Based on our own experience we estimate that the current market conditions, with the price of goji berries in a high position, will continue until around August. At that time, the new harvest of goji berries has been processed for one month and the dried goji berries enter the market in bulk."
Goji berry plantation
"Ningxia Baishi Hengxing Food was established in June, 2011. Our company is specialized in foodstuffs and integrates plantation, purchase, production and processing, and retail. We mainly sell our food products in the markets, supermarkets, and to pharmaceutical companies in the bigger cities in China. But we also export to the USA, the EU, Japan, the ASEAN, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. We have several hundred hectares of organic goji berry plantations in Zhongning, Ningxia, as well as processing factories. At the same time, we also purchase goji berries from local farmers in that area. Goji berries are difficult to keep fresh. We therefore decided to sell dried goji berries, goji berry powder, and goji berry juice in the Chinese market and abroad. When we export to overseas markets we mainly supply 5 kg bags and 20 kg boxes of goji berries. We can also supply smaller bags on customer request. These smaller bags are more convenient for consumers in the retail market."
Goji berry processing factory
"Goji berries are a familiar element in traditional Chinese medicine. The goji berry has more than a thousand years of history as a Chinese food product. A growing number of consumers in China and abroad begin to recognize the value of the goji berry. The berry has been labeled a super fruit. Goji berries are rich in antioxidants. The berries can improve the body's resistance to disease. They also help to protect the skin and the eyes because the berries alleviate the symptoms of dry and rough skin. Furthermore, the berries can stabilize blood sugar and protect the liver. We are extremely optimistic about the market prospects of dried goji berries. The berries have extremely high nutritional value and are quite popular in the US and European markets. We expect the overseas demand to keep growing."
