On April 28, 2016, Announcement No. 9 of 2016 of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA), "Announcement of the CNCA on Issuing the Supplementary Catalogue of Organic Product Certification (IV)," included goji berries in the Catalogue of Organic Product Certification. Because the production process of goji berries involves relatively high risks, when the CNCA formulated and issued the first edition of the Catalogue of Organic Product Certification in 2011, it kept goji berries outside the door of organic product certification. In 2016, in order to meet market needs and to cooperate with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China in the on-site handling activity for suggestions made by National People's Congress deputies in 2016, the CNCA included goji berries in the pilot scope of organic certification and, in accordance with the principles of voluntary application by enterprises and recommendation by provincial quality inspection departments and certification bodies, determined the pilot certification bodies and enterprises. Our organization was also selected for the list of pilot certification bodies for organic goji berry certification. The full text of Announcement No. 9 of 2016 of the CNCA, "Announcement of the CNCA on Issuing the Supplementary Catalogue of Organic Product Certification (IV)," is as follows:文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/en/11580/
