"China: "Chestnut production in Liaoning down by about 10-15%"

"This year, due to the stable climate and the expansion of the planting area, the chestnut output in Shandong has increased slightly compared with last year. This was due the cold weather during the flowering period, and the yield reduction is about 10-15%," according to Jia Yanmei, business manager of Qingdao Justop Industry and Trade Co., Ltd.

 

"Our chestnuts come from Rizhao, Shandong and Dandong, Liaoning. The supply period is from the end of August to the next March. The chestnuts from Dandong in Liaoning are listed in early September. Due to the impact of production cuts, the market price is expected to be higher than the same period last year. At present, the price of chestnuts in Shandong is basically the same as that of the same period last year."

 

After purchasing garlic, onion, apple, chestnut and other products from major producing areas, the company exports to many countries and areas such as the Middle East, the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea under the customer brand and the company's own brand 'Justop Produce'. "

 

"Compared with chestnuts from other countries, the advantage of Chinese chestnuts in overseas markets is obvious. This is mainly due to the large size, strong sturdiness, high sweetness and luster of Chinese chestnut."
