Cooperative increases walnut production efficiency in Xinjiang
The Kuqa City Bostan Walnut Professional Cooperative is consolidating local farming efforts in Xinjiang to improve crop yields and market access for producers.
The Kuqa City Bostan Walnut Professional Cooperative has emerged as a significant entity in the Xinjiang walnut industry, focusing on centralized agricultural management. By organizing small-scale farmers, the cooperative seeks to standardize cultivation practices and enhance overall crop quality.
Vice-chairman Abdurahman Kebir has highlighted the importance of technical guidance during the harvesting period. This professionalization of field operations is intended to ensure that walnuts meet specific grading standards, thereby increasing their value in the regional supply chain.
This cooperative structure is increasingly common in China’s agricultural landscape as a method to stabilize production in rural areas. By pooling resources, the farmers can invest in better processing techniques, aiming for long-term economic sustainability in a competitive market.
