How to identify kudzu root planting scams and be prepared

Kudzu root planting is a cultivation project that requires a lot of skill. If you want to plant and harvest in the same year, it is very difficult to achieve a good yield without skill.

In order to sell seedlings, many companies or individuals exaggerate kudzu root yields in the early stage, claiming yields as high as 10000 jin per mu. If you hear anyone say kudzu root can yield 10000 jin per mu in the same year, that company is 100 percent a scam.

If you are also told that kudzu root is very easy to grow and that just a few simple steps are enough, then that person is basically a scammer too. Everything is hard at the beginning. If you compare yourself with those veteran growers, they have experience, so of course everything is easy for them.

It is impossible for kudzu root to yield 10000 jin per mu. Under normal conditions, kudzu root yield is around 4000-5000 jin per mu (of course, this is under the condition that you manage it properly and handle it well).

For growers planting kudzu root for the first time, we generally do not recommend large-scale planting. We recommend a planting area of no more than 150 mu.First: You have to consider the local labor situation. For 100 mu, in the first half of the year (January-July), you need about 10-15 regular workers.Second: Your labor management and time scheduling. When the area is large, their work arrangements will lag.

In the second year, if you feel you have mastered the techniques well, there is no harm in expanding the planting area accordingly. Kudzu root has a long history as a food in China, but it has never formed into a product line. Only in recent years have a small number of products been produced.

In the international market, especially in Japan's food market, it is highly favored by consumers, called "royal treasure" in Japan, and regarded as a high-end consumer product. It can be seen that developing kudzu root as a high-quality functional food has huge development potential and good market prospects.
