China's walnut planting area has exceeded 80 million mu, ranking first in the world. Many poverty-stricken areas expect to use walnut trees to support the "dream of getting rid of poverty". However, the blowout expansion of walnut planting is bringing worries about the market outlook.

At the Central Poverty Alleviation and Development Work Conference held a few days ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping called for the implementation of the "five batches" project, the first of which is to "develop production and get rid of poverty", based on local resources, to achieve local poverty alleviation. Previously, he listed "accurate project arrangement" as one of the "six precisions" for poverty alleviation.

Walnut poverty alleviation is the epitome of China's industrial poverty alleviation. How to arrange poverty alleviation projects more accurately so that the hard work of the common people can be exchanged for real money and silver?
