This year, Macadamia in Chongzuo City, Guangxi have once again welcomed the harvest season. The nut industry in Chongzuo City is generally improving, with a total Macadamia planting area of 629100 mu and a fruit hanging area of about 263200 mu. It is expected that the total output of green skinned fruits will be 77300 tons. Chongzuo City has taken a series of measures to stabilize prices and ensure the healthy and orderly development of the industry of Macadamia, which will help promote rural revitalization.
Conduct in-depth market research and carry out thematic deployment. Since August, the Chongzuo City Nut Industry Chain Work Team has dispatched a working group to visit various counties (cities, districts) to investigate and understand nut production, processing enterprises, purchase demand, distribution of purchase outlets, entry of out of town buyers, and purchase price forecasts. On August 16th, the city held a conference on high-quality development of the industry of Macadamia, specifically deploying the Chongzuo Nut Price Stability and Purchase Protection Work. According to relevant information from the Chongzuo Nut Industry Chamber of Commerce, it is expected that the purchase price of Guire No.1 Nut will fluctuate between 4.3-5 yuan/jin, with a steady increase compared to last year.
Standardize harvesting work and stabilize the order of procurement. Each county should strengthen publicity to ensure that fruit farmers understand information such as purchasing outlets and market prices, guide them to pick fruits at the right time, and achieve better fruit prices to better protect the interests of fruit farmers. The nut purchase service stations in various townships of Longzhou County have issued purchase notices, starting from August 23rd to purchase mature Macadamia such as Guire No.1, and clarifying the purchase prices for each variety. Fusui County has issued a "Proposal on Doing a Good Job in Nut Harvesting in 2024", advocating that fruit farmers harvest mature Macadamia according to the guided harvesting date, classification and variety, and promising local deep processing enterprises to offer the highest purchase price according to the market, without worrying about fruit payments being delayed, giving fruit farmers a "reassurance pill".
Ensure processing capacity and crack down on disruptive market behavior. At present, there are a total of 19 nut processing enterprises in Chongzuo City, with a processing capacity of over 100000 tons of green peel fruit, which can meet the city's demand for green peel fruit processing and help stabilize the nut market. According to the work deployment, the next step for each county (city, district) and relevant departments is to establish professional teams for fruit picking, selling, purchasing and other guidance services, track and serve fruit farmers and buyers, and ensure that fruit farmers can smoothly sell green skinned fruits. At the same time, carry out special actions for market supervision and law enforcement, standardize market order, and severely crack down on behaviors that disrupt the order of the acquisition market, such as malicious price cutting.
