People gather at Renhe Square in Yangbi County, southwestern China’s Yunnan province, on Sept. 1, to mark the opening of the 2017 Yangbi Walnut Festival.
Yangbi County produces 50,000 tons of walnuts each year, which can generate nearly one billion yuan in income for growers. In recent years, local authorities have transformed the local walnut sector from cultivation to processing. In the future, Yangbi will focus on producing branded walnut products, says Yang Yu, the county’s Party secretary.
During the eight-day festival, food tasting, cooking competitions, exhibitions, and other activities will be held.
