It was reported by relevant departments on February 2015, Erenhot highway port imported 108 tons of raw pine nuts from Mongolia at one time, which is the largest import over the years.

It is understood that, in recent years the domestic pine nuts have a continuous output reduction or no output, but adjacent Mongolia forest has a coverage area of 15.3 million hectares, which has high pine nut output. In addition, as new year approaches, pine nuts are also very popular. In addition, as China applies customs duties exemption, import link value-added tax and consumption tax policy to raw materials for processing trade, pine nuts have high value and tax reduction. The above various factors lead to a good prospect to import pine nuts.
