The cultivation of the walnut is one of the main economic activities of the Pichao, followed by the quince. It is the second largest after the vine in Colalao Valley and other surrounding towns in the area Calchaquí Valley.
Susana Mamaní remembers, "until the decade of 40, economic activity in this area was based largely on the planting and harvesting of corn and breeding sheep and goats. During the period of harvest most families are going to Salta or plain tucumano to peel sugarcane. " He added that in this decade, arrived from Salta Colalao Miguel Angel Jandula, agronomist and mining for work in the mines of mica.
Sweets craft today are the economic strength of El Pichao. In each house there Colalao walnut and fig. If the ground is boy, served for family consumption, and if the extension is greater, it is conceivable to sell. For many pichagüeños, the walnut is its largest source of income. However, they are family enterprises, sometimes crude, which makes it difficult marketing. These small farmers achieve a single production of 500 to 5,000 kg a year, a volume that not even allowed to put in order the tax situation and that prevents them from having competitive prices.
Prices:
When the fruit has dried, he removes the shell surface and the selection is made according to quality. They are sold in shell or peeled. The walnut colla of excellent quality, is sold in shell between $ 3.40 and $ 4 per kilo and peeled, between $ 11 and $ 13.
In Chapter XII of the novel "Like Water for Chocolate", its author, Laura Esquivel, relates: "nuts should begin to peel with a few days in advance, because doing so represents a very laborious work ...". This piece is not part of the magic realism that is flooding the novel, but the purest reality. For the delicacy of the work is justified climb three times the price of bare nut, also known as butterfly, in connection with the fruit shell.
However, producers have chronic problems of profitability by competition from wholesalers. Given these difficulties is seen as an interesting proposal shaping a society that links the interests of walnut growers, so they can market the product in an organized manner. This would enable them to stand as a new option for the regional market, which today remain anonymous.
