Abstract : The price index for China's farm produce rose at a slower pace in the week ending Feb. 4, the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday.

BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- The price index for China's farm produce rose at a slower pace in the week ending Feb. 4, the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday.

The price index for farm produce went up 0.9 percent in the past week, compared with a 1.5-percent expansion the previous week. The index for production materials edged down 0.2 percent.

The average wholesale price of 30 kinds of vegetables climbed 2.2 percent from a week earlier, retreating from a 5.7-percent rise in the previous week.

The wholesale price of beef and mutton rose 0.5 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, while that of pork edged down 0.4 percent.
