How much is black goji berry per jin? 2017 latest price forecast
Whether in price or efficacy, black goji berry has long surpassed red goji berry. I remember when black goji berry first hit the market, it sold for nearly several thousand yuan per jin, a veritable sky-high-priced product. But as market demand grew, the price of black goji berry began to slowly head downhill. Although the current price of black goji berry has fallen, it is still not affordable; the average selling price of black goji berry is still around 500 yuan per jin. So how much is black goji berry per jin in 2017? Let me now tell everyone what this year's black goji berry price is like.
How much was black goji berry per jin in 2015
2015 was a very hot year for black goji berry. After CCTV reported on black goji berry in 2012, the price of black goji berry welcomed a small surge in 2015. Various merchants all boasted that black goji berry was a “miracle cure”, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, treating heart disease, and also resisting oxidation and delaying aging. Therefore, the explosive popularity became the driving force behind the rise in black goji berry prices.
A major survey of black goji berry prices in 2016
After the hugely popular year for black goji berry in 2015, people had already begun gradually trying to cultivate black goji berry artificially, so the price of black goji berry began to gradually plunge. Compared with the previous high selling prices, the prices of various high-quality black goji berries all declined to varying degrees. Below is a comparison of the price decline of black goji berry compared with 2015:
Everyone can see that in the year-on-year comparison, the price of black goji berry took a sharp plunge, and at the same time, because of the impact of artificially cultivated black goji berry, the output of black goji berry was also greater than in previous years. Of course, the decline in black goji berry prices is very good for us consumers, but because the price fluctuations have been too large, there are also more and more fake and inferior black goji berries on the market. Taking advantage of consumers' psychology of liking cheap bargains, many merchants have advertised promotions and tearful clearance sales, but in fact they are often selling dog meat under a sheep's head. At the same time, because the selling prices of black goji berry are all distinguished according to quality, quite a few merchants also pass off inferior goods as good ones, especially in online shopping, where it is very easy to run into this problem.
2017 black goji berry price forecast
In 2017, if the technology for artificially cultivating black goji berry gradually matures, then the impact on black goji berry output will be relatively large. Compared with the previous state in which black goji berry relied entirely on growing wild, artificially cultivated black goji berry is controllable. Under careful cultivation, the efficacy of artificially cultivated black goji berry is not necessarily worse than that of wild black goji berry. Therefore, it can be said that in 2017 the selling price of black goji berry will definitely welcome a new round of decline.
How much exactly is wild black goji berry per jin
According to my information, most black goji berry prices on the market now are 300-1000 yuan per jin, and among them the good-quality ones can even sell for 3000-4000 yuan per jin. Some black goji berry brands are even more willing to go the high-end market route, so whether in packaging or quality, they are especially meticulous.
At present, the national output of wild black goji berry is less than 100 tons, which is to say that even if the price of black goji berry falls substantially, the price of wild black goji berry will still not be affected in the short term. At the same time, wild black goji berry requires manual picking, and a farmer can pick at most one or two jin per day on average, so it is unlikely that wild black goji berry will flood the market in large quantities.
Here, take Qaidam black goji berry as an example. How much is Qaidam black goji berry per jin? If wild black goji berry is purchased from farmers, depending on quality, the price ranges from 150 yuan to 300 yuan per jin. Of course, after merchants' packaging, these wild black goji berries may sell for 600-1000 yuan per jin, and among them, if the quality is especially good, they can even sell for around 2000 yuan per jin. Therefore, everyone can judge whether the wild black goji berries sold online at the price of artificially cultivated ones are really being sold in a tearful big clearance sale.
Key reminder: many unscrupulous merchants now dry and dye a plant called white thorn fruit and pass it off as black goji berry. At this time, if you want to judge whether black goji berry is real, you can break the black goji berry fruit open from the middle. If there are many seeds, then it is true black goji berry. At the same time, black goji berry soaked in different water qualities will show different colors, whereas if it is dyed white thorn fruit, then no matter how it is soaked it will only be somewhat purple.
Everyone now knows how much black goji berry is per jin, right? In fact, when buying black goji berry, we do not necessarily have to blindly pursue wild black goji berry. Because wild black goji berry has low output, its price basically remains high. Relatively speaking, the price of artificially cultivated black goji berry is more affordable. Of course, when buying black goji berry, you must choose a trustworthy big brand, otherwise you may spend wasted money and still buy fake goods.
