A Survey of the Development of Walnut Industry in China

   in the vast hilly and mountainous areas of north and south of China, the agricultural production conditions are poor, especially the serious shortage of water resources. Taking this basic national condition as the starting point at the beginning of the development of fruit tree production is an important principle for us to implement the scientific concept of development formulated by the CPC Central Committee and to build a socialist harmonious society in the field of agriculture. Fruit tree production has always been one of the most important fields of agricultural production in China, and it is also the highlight of the economic growth of agricultural production and the hot spot of agricultural industrial structure adjustment.

The picture shows walnut

   in recent years, under the guidance of the national policy of protecting the environment and returning farmland to forest, many places regard the development of nuclear industry as the main implementation content of returning farmland to forest, which has greatly promoted the rapid increase of walnut area. As a kind of economic forest tree species with strong adaptability, high economic value and suitable for development in the vast areas of our country, walnut has become one of the pillar industries of the new high-efficiency watch industry in some rural areas of our country and a new economic growth point to increase farmers' wealth.

   walnut originated in China and Central Asia, is widely distributed all over the world, and has a good adaptability to different climate types and site conditions. There are not only a large number of walnut ancient tree resources widely distributed in Xinjiang and Xizang, but also Chinese people began walnut cultivation a long time ago. at present, it has formed the earliest and largest walnut production bases, such as the northwest region represented by Xinjiang and the southwest region represented by Yunnan. However, due to various reasons, the current situation of walnut production in China is large, the yield is high but the quality is not high, and the efficiency needs to be improved, which can not meet the large demand of walnut products in the vast market at home and abroad. Another noteworthy tendency is that in the process of implementing the policy of returning farmland to forests, there are two problems in many places: one is the phenomenon of planting a large number of walnut seedlings without grafting, resulting in the late withdrawal of mature walnut without fruit or the lack of variety typicality; second, the development of walnut in a short period of time, the supply of improved varieties exceeds demand, resulting in mixed varieties and low rate of improved varieties. The emergence of these problems will restrict the healthy development of China's walnut industry not only at present, but also for a long time in the future.

The current situation of    not only shows the backwardness of our fruit industry, but also provides an opportunity for the development of China's agricultural and forestry industry. Following the basic guiding ideology of developing fruit trees-"adapting measures to local conditions and suitable trees", we will vigorously develop dry fruit trees with water saving and drought resistance in dry and semi-early dry areas, with walnut as the representative to form a high-standard and high-benefit dry fruit industry.
