Market prospects

Hawthorn helps digest food and move qi, and strengthens the spleen and opens the appetite. Its processed products are called “therapeutic foods” or “health foods” by people. After eating them, they not only increase a person's nutrition but can also produce fairly good medical effects. Hawthorn fruit is rich in red pigment and pectin, and also contains sugar and acid, making it a very good raw material for food processing. It can be made into many kinds of foods with a unique flavor, and market demand is very large.

Market price

The price of hawthorn is relatively affordable; one jin of fresh hawthorn is only about 15 yuan. Hawthorn has high nutritional value, but few people buy fresh hawthorn because it is quite sour and does not taste good. It is generally processed into finished products before being sold. The price of processed hawthorn can reach about 40 yuan/jin, so the price difference before and after processing is quite large.

Market demand

At present, market demand for fresh hawthorn is not very large, so it can be sold through some other channels. There are now many products made with hawthorn as a raw material, and hawthorn can be sold as a raw material to major manufacturers. Their demand is relatively large, because the price of processed hawthorn is much more substantial than that of fresh hawthorn.

Planting benefits

Generally, the cost of hawthorn cultivation mainly consists of land contract fees, staff wages, hawthorn sapling fees, fertilizer, and some other expenses. Generally, the total profit from one mu of land can reach about 300,000 yuan. After deducting all costs, about 200,000 yuan can be earned in a year. From this it can be seen that the profit from growing hawthorn is very considerable.

Planting advantages

Hawthorn grows in mountainous areas, plains, sandy areas, and other places in our province. The Taihang Mountain area is currently a key hawthorn production area in the country. Hawthorn has relatively great medical and health care effects, so processed products are called “therapeutic foods” or “health foods.” They can not only increase nutrition but also produce fairly good medical effects on certain diseases. It is a very good plant to grow.
