As people tend to become more healthy in the selection of snack foods, the nut category is prominently encircled to pry up a market with a scale of 100 billion yuan. In the process of the rapid rise of the industry, the development of the market will focus on the production and processing of nuts. As a region with unique advantages in the development of the nut industry, Yunnan has accelerated the improvement of the mechanization level of nut production and processing in recent years. Amidst the roar of the machines, the nuts produced are of better quality and stronger market competitiveness.

From melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans to walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, almonds, macadamia nuts, from single nuts to mixed nuts, food consumption has become more and more diversified in recent years, and the roasted nuts industry is also continuously subdividing and seeking Innovative breakthroughs to meet increasingly escalating consumer demand. Nowadays, compared to the earlier on-demand weighing and buying in stores, snack brands such as Qiaqia, Three Squirrels, and Liangpin Shop have successively launched a series of nut products, and are focusing on food processing, preservation, and packaging. Daily nut series products with a more balanced nutritional ratio seize market share.

Of course, as the market size of the roasted nuts industry expands to 180 billion yuan by 2020, the growth of downstream sales will also drive the rapid development of nuts in the upper and middle reaches, which is an opportunity for the upward development of the Yunnan nut industry. Yunnan is located in the southern part of my country, with a mild climate and abundant rainfall. Many places represented by Lincang City, Zhenkang County and Yongde County, are widely distributed with walnut and macadamia nut planting industries. It is reported that the local walnut planting area is now It has reached more than 43 million mu, and the planting area of macadamia nuts has reached 3.53 million mu. The total output has reached 1.48 million tons and 74,800 tons respectively, which is an important part of meeting the supply of nuts in the market.

However, as people’s pursuit of the quality of nut products continues to improve, the disadvantages of the low standardization of local nut processing, the incomplete industry standard system, and the lack of intensively processed products have become more prominent, such as the large output of nuts but the uneven quality. Uneven, lack of competitiveness in the nut market, and so on. In response to this, in recent years, Yunnan has also made great efforts to integrate resources, and through measures such as introducing a series of nut processing machinery and equipment and increasing scientific and technological innovation, it has improved the level of nut processing and the level of industrial scale and green development.

It can be seen that with the continuous improvement and improvement of food machinery performance in recent years, washing machines, peelers, shellers, color sorters, dryers, etc. are bringing better solutions for nut processing. For example, for walnut processing, the green walnut peeling machine can not only improve the efficiency of traditional manual peeling and peeling through mechanical and physical peeling, but also ensure that the damage rate of walnut kernels is low with the support of technology; the formation of the walnut photoelectric sorting production line is walnuts Bringing size, color, flaws, textures and other multiple indicators, multi-level refined sorting, help to enhance the core competitiveness of products.

In Yunnan, in recent years, walnut primary processing production lines including peeling, washing, drying, grading, packaging, etc., as well as macadamia nut peeling machines, dryers and other equipment have been introduced to promote the automation and standardization of nut processing. At the same time, it is also speeding up the construction of a nut science and technology innovation system and combining digital information technology to integrate nut processing and technology to create high-quality products, and is committed to further developing diversified snack foods and functionalities using walnuts and macadamia nuts as raw materials on the original basis. Food, develop the market in depth.

In recent years, the rapid development of the nut market is obvious to all. Enabling nut production and processing at the level of mechanization and digitalization is conducive to further promoting the industry's quality, efficiency, and high-quality development. As an important province in the supply of nut food, Yunnan has a certain advantage in this round of market development. Accelerating the promotion of production and processing levels will also better consolidate the advantages of industrial development.
