Data in relevant reports shows: The unshelled walnut
yield in 2020/21 season will reach 1.02 million ton, increasing 2% on
year-on-year basis.
Owing to favorable climate conditions, Xinjiang and
Yunnan celebrated walnuts harvests.
The walnut orchards in Xinjiang are mostly in plains, and
daily management and recovery is relatively easier. With market development and
processing equipment upgrade, Xinjiang has rapidly developed to the symbol of
future walnut industry in China. At present, Xinjiang not only contributes to
over half of national walnut yield, but also is well known in the industry for
large size and fulness.
Walnut traders said the walnut (unshelled) purchasing
price in Yunnan Province in the season is RMB 13.5/kg, RMB 2 lower on
year-on-year basis. As the yield increases steadily, national walnut price is
lowering year by year. The price suffered large pressure due to blocked sales
under epidemic.
