He continued: The harvesting operation started in early October and ended a few days ago and we had a production of 5,000 tons.

Biranvand reminded: Most of the big walnut orchards in Khorramabad city are located in Zagheh, Biranshahr, Sepiddasht, Azna Sekund, etc.

The director of Khorramabad Agricultural Jihad pointed out: This year, the average harvest of walnuts per hectare was about two tons, while each hectare of walnuts should produce about four tons.
