China's farm produce prices slightly down last week: MOC

BEIJING - In the week ending February 13, farm produce prices in China declined slightly for the first time this year, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said in a report released on Tuesday.

As the week-long Spring Festival holiday ended, abundant supply and weakening demand had brought down vegetable prices last week, said the ministry.

Compared to a week ago, the wholesale prices of 18 staple vegetables and 8 aquatic products went down 4.3 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively, it said.
