September 7 is the "White Dew" festival, Lin'an pecan "opening pole" is imminent. This also means that the Lin'an pecans that everyone has in mind are about to be listed. So what is the yield and quality of pecans this year? What about the price? Let's take a look.
Come to the boundary of Baiguo Village in Qingliangfeng Town, most of the more than 800 acres of pecans here are covered with large white nets, and the peonies on the branches are also fruitful. Wang Liping, a large planter in Baiguo Village, is picking up peats that have fallen naturally in advance, and doing some net-trolling work by the way.
Wang Liping, a large planter in Baiguo Village, Qingliangfeng Town, Lin'an District, said: "What fell this morning has been bagged yesterday. Before opening the pole, most of me was open net, (LinDao) slightly repaired, the net people (the net) readjusted, this year than last year twice, I estimate is 35,000 pounds to 40,000 pounds of dried seeds. ”
Wang Liping said that the more than 800 mu of pecans here were planted by him 15 years ago, and the walnut trees are in the "young adult" period, coupled with ecological management, so this year's walnut trees are better. However, in the entire main pecan-producing area this year, there are not many high-yielding people like Wang Liping's family. It is understood that the total output of Pecans in Lin'an last year was 15,100 tons, and this year's output is expected to decrease by 20% year-on-year. The main reason is that some of the main producing areas such as island stones are pecan small years, coupled with the drought last winter and excessive rainfall in the first half of this year, which affected production. So, will the quality of pecans be affected?
Gu Xiaobo, deputy director of the Lin'an District Agricultural and Forestry Technology Extension Center, said: "The weather is sunny during this time, this time is just the time for its oil and fat conversion, so the quality will be very good, this year's pecans are also particularly fragrant, coupled with this year's low yield, so the price will be very good." ”
The reporter learned that because the overall output of pecans this year is not high, the price will be higher than last year, but the specific price will not be known until the first batch of pecans is opened. It is expected that as soon as mid-September, everyone will be able to buy the first wave of Lin'an pecans this year. (Reporting by Lin'antai)
