Walnut excursion Switzerland
Registration link only: https://veranstaltungen.uni-kassel.de/event/walnuss-exkursion-schweiz-5850
The cultivation of walnuts is becoming increasingly important in Germany. This two-day excursion to Switzerland takes participants to established farms specializing in walnut cultivation in order to impart practical knowledge directly at the source. Walnut farms will be visited that specialize in the quality production of fresh walnuts, nuts in shell and cracked walnuts. In addition, processing companies are visited that cover an important part of the value chain (cleaning, drying, cracking, oil production, packaging).
The focus is on the entire value chain: the common path begins in leading tree nurseries and variety gardens in order to understand the basics of successful variety selection. The program is rounded off by a visit to a processing and distribution cooperative, which provides direct insights into preparation, further processing and successful marketing channels. This trip offers the opportunity to benefit from the experience of Swiss pioneering companies, to establish new networks and to take away concrete ideas for your own walnut cultivation projects.
