It's coming out of nowhere. For 100,000 forest farmers, walnut harvests are the most important agricultural event of the year, and more importantly, an annual “absorption” of safety. How can this harvest no longer carry risks? The answer given by the department of agriculture and rural affairs is not to hold on to it, but to do soLong-lasting mechanismsI don't know。
01
It's a net. It's a net. It's a net
In the village of baekgo, the old forester had already laid a safe harvest net under the tree, waiting only for the natural fruit of the walnuts。
The net harvest is one of the safe harvest patterns promoted by the main pro-zone. Since 2015, the regional agricultural and rural directorates have continued to increase their support efforts by investing more than 45 million yuan in financial subsidies and promoting a net of more than 120,000 acres. This model not only effectively mitigates labour shortages, but also reduces the risk of harvesting more significantly. Today, a growing number of forest farmers have chosen to “land like fruit” rather than “tops of trees”, with more than 4,800 acres being promoted this year。

One track
In response to the pains of steep, shoulder-to-carrying roads, the regional agricultural rural authority promoted the deployment of mountain-orbiting transport aircraft, agricultural drones, which were widely used to transport fertilizer, trans-shipment of fresh fruit links, significantly reduce the intensity of human handling and transport risks, allow fruit and agricultural resources “to climb down the mountain” and to leave the history of “man-loading sacks to climb the steep slopes”. To date, the mountain walnut-producing areas have accumulated over 200 mountain orbits, promoting the application of over 200 agricultural drones and adding over 3,000 machines such as the walnut debugger。
03
An insurance policy
“no insurance to go to the mountain”, not only is it included in the regional government's announcement for the safe harvest of walnuts, but it is a “backline” built in the hearts of foresters。
As early as 2007, the steering association took the lead in introducing accident insurance for mountain walnut pickers; in 2024, the joint zone general service for supply and marketing (oari), the fiscal authority, introduced a new version of the walnut accident insurance, with a further extension of the guarantee period; and in 2026, optimized the walnut walnut rainfall index insurance, which covered 133 persons, covering 27491 acres, an increase of 14. 8 per cent over the same period. To date, nine insurance policies have been used to set up the entire industry chain of walnuts, covering the key elements of walnut rainfall, fruit tree health, fruit growth, harvest accidents, storage, production safety and marking violations, and to achieve full-process closed-ring safeguards, ranging from branches to tongues, and to provide industry-wide risk security of over $1. 8 billion。

A platform. Integrated services
“the walnuts used to be played by their families, and now they can call on professional teams to help.” this is..An xian walnutsNew changes in production areas。
With the reform of the system of collective forest rights as its main focus, the regional agricultural and rural directorate has made every effort to pilot the provincial shared forest service centre, under the “1651+x” operating system, to create a comprehensive forest service platform that combines technology promotion, production hosting, material supply, distribution and distribution, financial insurance, digital empowerment and six service functions. Currently, six physical sites, such as yonggang, shimbok and qingbhu, have been fully transported, forming a network of services “one stop, one station, one station, one station, one station,” which effectively connects forestry socialization services “last kilometre”。
05
A set of mechanisms
Long-lasting mechanisms, with emphasis on the “full chain”. The regional agricultural and rural directorates have set up a chain-wide management system for “preventive prevention, management, aftercare”. During the pre-harvest period, training in safety techniques, popularization of operational norms and enhancement of hazard screening; during the harvest period, the formation of safe harvest teams to enhance technical guidance on the ground; and after the harvest, the organization of a technical team to provide guidance to foresters on post-harvest trimping, fertilization of formulations, etc., to help restore the strength of the tree and ensure a steady increase in production in the coming year。
From “one pole to the world” to “all chain guards”, the safe harvest of walnuts in quan is coming out of a new path, from “human to technical”, from “temporary capture” to “long-acting tube”。
Safety is the foundation for industrial development. Peace is the best bottom of a year's harvest. Bringing every hard-working forester to the mountain and returning home safely is our constant goal。
