FAQ

Common questions from global goji buyers.

How can I tell if goji berries were sulfur-fumigated?

Sulfur-fumigated berries often look unnaturally bright and uniform and can have a sharper acidic smell. We supply clean hot-air dried, sulfur-free batches (organic SO2 non-detect) backed by lab reports.

What do the 180 / 280 / 350 grain counts mean for pricing?

Grain count per 50g indicates size uniformity. Lower counts (180/220) mean larger, more uniform berries and higher price; 280/350 are the mainstream bulk trade grades with better value for manufacturing.

What is the price difference between organic and conventional?

Organic typically carries a premium. Whether it is worth it depends on your market and label requirements — we quote both grades so you can compare landed cost.

How do I read the COA and pesticide-residue report?

The COA summarizes moisture, SO2, impurities and microbiology; the residue report lists each pesticide against the destination-country MRL. We provide both, plus third-party (SGS/Eurofins) reports on request.

What is goji polysaccharide (LBP) and does it matter?

LBP is a key quality marker for the nutraceutical market. We can supply LBP-spec batches and reports for supplement applications.

Are black goji and red goji different?

Yes — black goji (Lycium ruthenicum) is valued for anthocyanins, while red goji is the mainstream culinary/medicinal berry. Availability is confirmed per inquiry.

What is your MOQ? Can I get a sample first?

We support evaluation samples, then MOQ by grade and form; full-container loads are typically 20GP / 40HQ. Contact us with your target volume.

Which ports do you ship from, and do you offer FOB or CIF?

We ship FOB from major China ports and can quote CIF to your destination port worldwide.

How should goji berries be stored and what is the shelf life?

Store cool, dry and away from light; keep relative humidity low. With correct storage, dried goji berries hold quality for 12-18 months.

Can you do OEM / custom packaging?

Yes — custom cartons, retail pouches and private-label programs are available for importers and brands.
