What are the planting costs and profits of Anoectochilus roxburghii?
Anoectochilus roxburghii has long been known as the “Southern Cordyceps”. As a health and wellness product that has risen in popularity in recent years, it is increasingly sought after by customers and entrepreneurial investors. The common planting models include three types: understory planting, simple greenhouse planting, and standard high-yield greenhouse planting. Below, let us look at the planting costs and planting profits of Anoectochilus roxburghii respectively!
Understory planting costs and profits of Anoectochilus roxburghii
Using the natural understory environmental conditions, according to the growth requirements of Anoectochilus roxburghii, choose mountain forests or gentle slopes with relatively convenient transportation, dense trees and fertile soil, and enclose the surrounding area with wire mesh to prevent birds, snakes, rats and other animals from feeding on it. Stretch shade nets between the trees, control the light transmittance at about 30%, and the light intensity is best at 3000-4000lux, that is, “three parts sun and seven parts shade” as the standard. The planting benefits are as follows (taking a half-year harvest period, 1 worker, and one mu of land of 660 sq m as an example; land lease costs are temporarily not counted).
1. Cost: The land utilization area is 20%, about 150 sq m, and about 50,000-60,000 Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings can be planted. The cost per seedling is 3-5 mao, and the total cost of Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings is about 30,000 yuan. The half-year wage for labor is about 10,000 yuan, and the investment in shade nets, fences, irrigation equipment, etc. is about 5,000 yuan.
2. Income: Anoectochilus roxburghii can be harvested after half a year of planting. At 3-4 grams per seedling, the total is about 200 kg. At 300 yuan per kg, the income is about 60,000 yuan.
3. Profit: The cost of understory planting plus labor and facility investment is about 45,000 yuan, the income is 60,000 yuan, and the profit per mu is about 15,000 yuan.
Benefits of simple greenhouse planting of Anoectochilus roxburghii
According to the suitable growing environment of Anoectochilus roxburghii, choose a production base with no industrial pollution, natural clean water sources, convenient sprinkler irrigation, and located on the shady side near a mountain. Build a shed with moso bamboo or steel pipes, and cover the top and surroundings with shade nets to provide shade, prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and prevent birds from eating it. In order to form an ecological environment conducive to the growth of Anoectochilus roxburghii, plant greening seedlings around the shed. At the same time, multi-layer three-dimensional planting can be used to increase the multiple cropping index, and sprinkler irrigation facilities are installed at the top. This cultivation method has the advantages of low cost, large-scale production, and easy promotion. The benefit analysis is as follows (taking a half-year harvest period, 2 workers, and one mu of land of 660 sq m as an example; land lease costs are temporarily not counted).
1. Cost: Using double-layer three-dimensional planting, the land utilization area is 80%, about 500 sq m, and about 150,000-200,000 Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings can be planted. The cost per seedling is 3-5 mao, and the total cost of Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings is about 70,000-90,000 yuan. The half-year wage for labor is about 20,000 yuan, and the investment in greenhouses, irrigation equipment, etc. is 30,000-50,000 yuan.
2. Income: Anoectochilus roxburghii can be harvested after half a year of planting. At 3-4 grams per seedling, the total is about 700 kg. At 300 yuan per kg, the income is about 210,000 yuan.
3. Profit: The cost of simple greenhouse planting plus labor and facility investment is about 150,000 yuan, the income is 210,000 yuan, and the profit per mu is about 60,000 yuan.
Standard high-yield greenhouse planting of Anoectochilus roxburghii
At present, relatively large Anoectochilus roxburghii enterprises all use this method of planting. Standard high-yield greenhouses can control temperature, control humidity, and provide ventilation. Artificial temperature- and humidity-controlled greenhouse shade net facilities are used. The greenhouse uses a multi-layer planting model, with sufficient management passages left in the middle. The land area utilization rate can reach 200%. The benefit analysis is as follows (taking a half-year harvest period, 2 workers, and one mu of land of 660 sq m as an example; land lease costs are temporarily not counted).
1. Cost: Three-layer three-dimensional planting can be used, and the land utilization area can reach 120%, about 800 sq m. About 300,000 Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings can be planted. The cost per seedling is 3-4 mao, and the total cost of Anoectochilus roxburghii seedlings is about 100,000 yuan. The half-year wage for labor is about 20,000 yuan, and the investment in greenhouses, irrigation equipment, etc. is about 100,000 yuan.
2. Income: Anoectochilus roxburghii can be harvested after half a year of planting. At 3-4 grams per seedling, the total is about 900 kg. At 300 yuan per kg, the income is about 270,000 yuan.
3. Profit: The cost of standard greenhouse planting plus labor and facility investment is about 220,000 yuan, the income is 270,000 yuan, and the profit per mu is about 50,000 yuan.
