How much does it generally cost to grow rice?
SummaryTaking one mu of rice as an example, the expenses during the rice seedling raising period require about 102 yuan, the expenses for pesticides and the like are about 220 yuan, and the field management costs are about 630 yuan, bringing the total cost to about 952 yuan. Prices may differ between regions, so everyone should base it on local prices.
Let us calculate the cost of growing one mu of rice:
1. Expenses during the rice seedling raising period
One mu of land needs about two jin of hybrid rice seed, and its price is about 60 yuan. Then during its growth period, fertilizer is needed, and the cost is about 22 yuan. Pest prevention also needs to be done twice, and the price is about 10 yuan. Herbicides and the like require about 10 yuan. The total is 102 yuan.
2. Pesticide expenses
During the growth period of rice, spraying must be done in a timely manner, generally at a price of about 40 yuan. During this period, fertilizer needs to be applied about 3 times, and the price is about 150 yuan. Then there is plowing the field, which requires some diesel cost, about 30 yuan. The total is 220 yuan.
3. Field management costs
In the later stage of planting, work such as weeding, land preparation, fertilizing, and pest removal needs to be done. These tasks together can be completed in about five days, and the daily wage is about 100 yuan. Five days is 500 yuan. Of course, if there is plenty of manpower, you can do it yourself, and this part of the expense is saved. The cost of harvesting rice is about 130 yuan per mu, totaling about 630 yuan.
3. Total
Expenses during the rice seedling raising period 102 yuan + expenses for pesticides and the like 220 yuan + field management costs 630 yuan = 952 yuan. However, this is only calculated according to our local prices. Prices in each place may vary somewhat, so everyone should still base it on local prices, and it is best to go to the local market to make an inquiry.
Profit analysis of rice planting
Now one mu of rice can produce about 1000 jin of rice. At present, the purchase price of rice is about 1.8 yuan per jin, so 1000 jin of rice can sell for about 1800 yuan. Excluding its cost of 952 yuan, the profit from one mu of rice is about 848 yuan. If you sell it yourself, the price may be even higher. If your family has labor, you can also save a few hundred yuan in labor costs, and the profit will be relatively higher.
