The Walnut is one of the most beneficial income-generating products in the agricultural sector. While the annual income for wheat, barley and otheragricultural products is around USD 850 per hectare, it is possible to earn payment in the range of USD 15.000 -20.000 from a Walnut Garden of the same size. Although Walnut production is common throughout the world, they are not a massive commodity in many countries. Therefore, Walnut prices have continued to increase annually.
With dedicated professional care and the correct climate and terrain, it is possible to earn a commercial income from the 4th year. Some people calculate a payment from the 3rd year, but when we consider that many trees will not have fully developed in the 3rd year, it would be wrong to guarantee the income so early.
Although the Walnut is a less risky product to grow than many fruits, some early mistakes can cause unnecessary risks in a walnut garden investment.
The soil structure of the land must be suitable for Walnut cultivation. Unfortunately, many investors have lost money with the wrong land selection. Land selection factors should include paying attention to all issues, such as water supply, electricity and access to labour.
The proposed land for the Walnut gardenshould be correctly prepared by doing an important soil analysis. Incorrect land preparation, will lead to money and time losses over the years.
Another critical point is the selection of asuitable sapling variety. The place where the seedlings are taken from is significant here. If we take it from the wrong area, we will not find out until after the 4thyear of growth. This will result in wasted years, so we must get this vital task right.
A considerable amount of water is required to produce a healthy Walnut Garden. Therefore, an efficient irrigation system must be installed at the beginning of the project.
After the Walnut Garden installation is complete, ongoing management is essential. A qualified agricultural engineer must provide this management. Depending on the size of the land, several people may be employed as permanent staff. This will ensure the land is always looked after and maintained, which will lead to a healthy Walnut harvest after four years.
Turkey is the perfect location for growing Walnuts, as we have ideal fertile land. It is one of
the few countriesthat can produce Walnuts all year round. Walnut Garden Investments in Turkey have rapidly increased in recent years, meaning Turkey is recognized as the ‘home of Walnuts’.
