What are the prospects, yield per mu and profits of growing baby cabbage?
Baby cabbage is a new vegetable variety introduced from abroad in recent years. Baby cabbage is very rich in vitamins, can be cooked in hot pot, and can be stir-fried with meat. Baby cabbage is not only much smaller in size than Chinese cabbage, but its growing period is also shorter than that of Chinese cabbage. It has considerable growing value and benefits, but baby cabbage growers always worry about what the prospects for growing baby cabbage are and roughly how much profit there is. Let us learn about it together below.
What are the prospects for growing baby cabbage
Baby cabbage, although only 1/4 the size of Chinese cabbage and looking very much like a miniature Chinese cabbage, is priced much higher than Chinese cabbage. In supermarkets, it is generally sold in bags of 3 small heads, and one bag sells for 7-8 yuan. In recent years, as the prices of various vegetables have risen higher and higher, the market for baby cabbage has also been rising all the way. Baby cabbage has a large market space, but growers still need to assess the market conditions well when planting on a large scale.
How much is the yield per mu and profit of baby cabbage
1. Yield of baby cabbage: Baby cabbage has very high soil requirements, a short production cycle, and quick results. Generally, the yield per mu reaches 10,000-15,000 heads, about 6000 kg-12,000 kg, varying according to specific growing conditions.
2. Profit of baby cabbage: The average yield per mu of baby cabbage is 10,000 kg, the production cost of baby cabbage is 2000 yuan/mu, the labor cost of baby cabbage is about 800 yuan per mu, the average selling price of baby cabbage is 0.8/kg, and the net profit of baby cabbage is about 4000-6000 yuan/mu. For farmers, the economic benefits are very considerable; however, there will also be certain differences due to different regions and market conditions.
From the above, we have roughly learned that growing baby cabbage still has market space, and the profit is relatively objective, but before growing baby cabbage, everyone had better first do a market survey, so as to avoid everyone rushing to follow suit and grow baby cabbage, causing the planting area to be too large, the market selling price to be low, or even the situation of being unable to sell it.
