"I have been in China for 5 years. The goji berries here are very famous. We visited the goji berry plantations, production workshops, and saw a variety of goji berry products, such as dried goji berries, goji berry juice, goji berry preserves, and more. Today, I even tried the goji berry juice. I heard that in Zhongning, many people's lives have improved because of goji berries, and the products from here are now sold in over 40 countries and regions. That's impressive!"
