Walnut Chapter: Detailed Interpretation of the Tree-Grown Nut Engineering Project

  Adopting the "company + base + farmers" model, by introducing improved varieties suited to domestic and international market demand, combined with the latest achievements in forestry research, and scientific planting, Weite Company is developing a 200,000-mu high-quality walnut base in Shanxi, thereby achieving variety optimization, organic production, intensification, and internationalization, and creating a well-known Chinese brand. Through industrialized operation, a large comprehensive food processing plant will be established, with an output value of over 800 million yuan, achieving a sales model focused mainly on foreign trade exports while also serving the domestic market. The prospects for implementing the tree-grown kernel engineering project are broad.

  1. By selecting and planting improved varieties suited to international market demand, a leading position in China can be maintained for 20 years. Selecting varieties from both foreign and domestic sources that meet international market demand and are also suitable for local planting not only achieves variety standardization but also forms variety optimization.

  2. By adopting advanced cultivation and management models, farmers' economic benefits will increase significantly. Through the use of new varieties and scientific cultivation methods, walnut trees can bear fruit in the third year, and from the fourth and fifth years onward, yields of more than 3,000 yuan per mu can be maintained annually.

  3. Through the intensified production of the "company + base + farmers" model, integrating production, supply, and sales, and contract farming, farmers gain real benefits. The company is responsible for seedling selection, sales, and cultivation management, and dispatches dedicated technicians to provide free technical training and guidance, signing 20-year purchase contracts with farmers. This not only guarantees farmers' high yields in walnut cultivation but also completely resolves farmers' worries about product sales.

This can not only meet the requirements of foreign customers and advance the export shipping period to achieve seasonal production and year-round sales, but also restore the sales channels of Chinese in-shell walnuts in the international market and improve the passive position of Chinese walnut kernel quality in foreign markets. Through brand marketing, the products can compete with American "Diamond" walnut kernels and occupy a dominant position in domestic and international markets.
