"The world chestnut is China, Chinese chestnut is Yanshan, Yanshan chestnut quality can be described as the world's first," Japan's Kanto chestnut Association President Kato Gofu visited Qinhuangdao once said. Chestnut produced in Miyun, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao, Chengde, etc. in the Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Yanshan region has a high reputation in the Japanese market. It is characterized by thin skin, low moisture content, fast saccharification time, pure sweetness, strong glutinousness, and meat quality. Delicate and highly favored by Japanese consumers. According to the export of chestnuts from the Tang, Qin and Cheng regions in 2013, a total of 12429.4 tons of fresh chestnuts were exported in the region with a value of 30.92 million US dollars, which became one of the major agricultural export industries. In view of this year's climate drought, the depreciation of the yen and other unfavorable factors, resulting in the 2014 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to export fresh chestnut encounter difficulties.

The investigation and analysis found that the first reason was that this year's chestnut production had suffered a severe drought in the “small year” of production, and the output had dropped sharply. It is expected to reduce production by 60% compared with last year, resulting in a higher purchase price of chestnuts, which is about RMB 20 per kilogram. High position. Second, Chestnut in the Jingdong region is dominated by the traditional Japanese consumer market. The market is single. In recent years, due to the continuous depreciation of the Japanese yen, the value of export chestnuts (settled in Japanese yen) has increased significantly, from more than 200,000 tons per ton in 2009. Yuan, which soared to about 420,000 yen in 2014, caused the consumption of the Japanese market to slump. Thirdly, due to the continuous drought during the whole growth period of Chinese chestnut, the water content of Chinese chestnut is significantly lower than normal years, and fresh chestnuts are not able to be stored. Fourth, the drought caused an increase in its pests, and the rate of worms such as Myzus persicae and Weevilia was high, which increased the risk of export inspection and quarantine supervision. The situation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region for exports of chestnuts to Japan is not optimistic. It is recommended that relevant government departments pay attention to this and provide effective support from policies, funds, and taxes to ensure that the chestnut export industry overcomes difficulties.
