Red-fleshed kiwifruit: 2018 planting profit, yield per mu, and market prospects

Red-fleshed kiwifruit is a fruit that can be eaten and used as medicine, and it is planted in many places. So how much money can you make growing one mu in 2018? What is the yield? What are the market prospects? According to Mr. Wang, a red-fleshed kiwifruit grower in Sichuan, the commonly planted red-fleshed kiwifruit generally has a very low yield, at 1000-2000 jin. But if you choose new red-fleshed kiwifruit varieties, such as Donghong, Hongshi, and Jinhong, and keep up with fertilizer and pesticides, have sufficient human resources, carry out key management on time, and keep up the investment amount with reasonable investment, the highest yield can reach 5000 jin.

How much money can you make growing one mu of red-fleshed kiwifruit in 2018?

If you want to know how much money you can make from one mu, you have to know what the costs and profits are.

First, let's calculate the approximate cost of growing one mu of red-fleshed kiwifruit:

One mu needs about 120 kiwifruit seedlings. Kiwifruit seedlings, labor, fertilizer, concrete posts, and galvanized wire, and possibly also investment in a motor-pumped well, roads, buildings, etc., require more than 10,000 per mu.

Now let's look at how much the profit is:

If it is a 100-mu pollution-free red-fleshed kiwifruit production demonstration orchard, in the first 1-3 years of orchard establishment the vines go up on the trellis, with an average investment of more than 2000-3000 per mu. After 3 years they bear fruit, with an average annual investment of more than 1000 per mu.

After 3 years they enter the full fruiting period, with each tree bearing an average of 20-35 kg, and some individual trees can produce 40-50 kg. At a conservative calculation price of 12 yuan/kg, each tree has an output value of more than 300-400, and each mu has an output value of 45000-60000 yuan. Entering the full fruiting period, the output value of 100 mu of land can reach 4.5-6 million yuan. Moreover, with China's rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the price of red-fleshed kiwifruit will not be lower than the current price.
