Delicious! The Fengkai chestnuts that everyone loves are now on the market!

Have you discovered it?

Recently, when the reporter walked into Maou Village, Changgang Town, Fengkai County, he saw large tracts of chestnut forests growing lushly, with ripe chestnuts dotted on the branches.

The villagers were busy hitting the oil chestnuts on the trees with bamboo poles. Soon, the ground was covered with "small thorn balls".

They carefully picked up the oil chestnuts with sharp thorns with pliers into bags and transported them back home for shelling and sales.

The chestnuts that were first put on the market are popular in the market with their excellent quality and excellent taste.

During the growth of chestnut trees, the chestnut yield will be affected by the external environment and lead to a decrease, especially this year, due to more rain, the chestnut yield has decreased compared with previous years.

Chen Dongluan, a large chestnut grower in Changgang Town, told reporters that although the output this year is not high, the quality of oil chestnuts is very good and the price is relatively stable. Currently, the supply is in short supply.

After more than ten years of exploration, Chen Dongluan has mastered the seedling, grafting and pruning techniques of dozens of oil chestnut varieties. He currently operates a seedling base, supplying seedlings to surrounding farmers at a price of 10-30 yuan per plant, and promises to guarantee the variety, survival and technology, and is determined to make the chestnut industry in Fengkai County better and stronger.

At the sales point of the chestnut planting base [Zhenai Farm] in Changgang Town, Fengkai County, the reporter saw villagers sitting at the door of the store, with chestnuts just picked from the trees piled in front of them.

The villagers worked quickly, and the chestnuts shed their thorny shells one by one, revealing their shiny brown-red fruits. Everyone worked together to peel, sort and pack them, and sent them to the whole country.

"Now we have at least 25 workers working every day, and the sales volume is about 600 to 1,000 kilograms a day." Li Xiuzhen, head of Zhenai Farm, a chestnut planting base in Changgang Town, said.

Although it was also affected by the rainy weather, the output of oil chestnuts in Zhenai Farm did not decrease, but increased.

Li Xiuzhen said that this was because the farm had taken sufficient protective measures, and the output increased by 20% compared with previous years.

"In recent years, Fengkai chestnuts have become famous. They taste good after eating, and the repurchase rate is very high, so more and more people know Fengkai oil chestnuts." She said.
