What are the prospects for walnut cultivation? The latest analysis is here

Walnut is the king of the four major dried fruits, has a long history of cultivation in China, and is distributed throughout the country. Because of its rich nutritional value and medicinal value, it is very popular in the market, and its price has risen year after year, and has always shown an upward trend. Below let us take a look together at what the prospects for walnut cultivation are like!

Factors affecting the prospects for walnut cultivation

Walnut cultivation has been quite hot in the past two years, especially hickory, whose nuts sell for more than 40 yuan, grafted seedlings for more than 30 yuan, and in some orchards even buds have been sold for several yuan each. In recent years, quite a lot has been expanded. However, walnut yields are low, and it takes a relatively long time to reach production. If you cannot wait 5 years, it is better not to plant them. If it is good farmland, it is still better to plant something with quick returns. The reason walnut prices have risen year after year is related to several major factors:

1. Expanding demand in the domestic consumer market: as people's living standards improve, more and more consumers recognize the nutritional and medicinal value of walnuts, and consumption is on the rise.

2. The rise of the walnut processing industry: walnut kernels can be made into food, processed into oil, and also added to other foods. These wide uses have greatly increased walnut consumption and demand.

3. Increased demand in the international market: because walnuts are nutritious and taste good, they are very popular in the international market. China's main walnut export destinations are the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Syria, Singapore, Kuwait, and others, and export volume has shown an upward trend year by year.

What issues need attention in walnut cultivation

Taking into account both international and domestic market demand, one can conclude that developing the walnut industry has broad prospects and is profitable. However, experts suggest that when developing walnuts, several points should be noted:

1. Choose improved varieties: although China is the largest country in walnut planting area, the penetration rate of improved varieties is low, outdoor grafting techniques are not up to standard, and seedling propagation still predominates. Experts suggest that when choosing varieties, farmers should as much as possible choose improved varieties that are early-bearing, high-yielding, thin-shelled, large, and have a high kernel yield, so as to improve market competitiveness.

2. Scientific planting: farmers should improve their technical quality and commodity awareness, scientifically cultivate and manage walnut trees, and improve economic returns.
