About nuts, edible; walnuts, fresh or dried, in shell

HS code 080231 covers the trade of fresh or dried walnuts in their shells. Walnuts are a popular and nutritious tree nut that are widely consumed around the world. The global walnut industry plays a significant role in the broader agricultural economy, providing a valuable source of income for farmers and contributing to the food supply chain.

Production process

Walnuts are typically harvested from walnut trees, which can take several years to mature and begin producing a reliable crop. Once harvested, the walnuts are dried, either naturally or using specialized drying equipment, to reduce their moisture content. The nuts are then sorted, graded, and packaged for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the walnut industry include walnut trees, land for cultivation, and labor for harvesting and processing. Walnut trees require specific climatic conditions to thrive, such as moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall. Machinery and equipment, such as drying units and sorting/packaging systems, are also important inputs for the industry.
