I. How much is oil peony seed per jin?

It is understood that the purchase price of oil peony seed is around 10 yuan per jin, and the price varies from region to region.

II. National subsidies for oil peony planting

For local oil peony planting subsidies, please consult your local forestry bureau. The funding bottleneck for oil peony has become the biggest difficulty faced by the vast majority of oil peony planting operations. How to reasonably use national and local policies to apply for financial support, achieve targeted poverty alleviation, and promote the healthy development of the oil peony industry is particularly important.

III. How much income per mu from planting oil peony

Oil peony is an emerging woody oil crop with outstanding “three highs and one low” characteristics:

High output (a five-year-old plant can yield up to 200 kg per mu, and the comprehensive benefit per mu can reach 10,000 yuan);

High oil content (seed oil content above 22%);

High quality (unsaturated fatty acid content 92%);

Low cost (oil peony is drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant, suitable for greening and afforestation on barren hills and understory planting; plant once and harvest for a hundred years, with low cost).

IV. What are the prospects for oil peony planting

Oil peony is a woody oil crop, and returns can only be seen 5-6 years after planting; before that, it is all investment of funds. Many people do not realize this and go bankrupt before seeing any returns. Therefore, before planting oil peony, you must be financially prepared.

Oil peony is not highly selective about land, and with growth characteristics such as drought tolerance, barren tolerance, high-cold tolerance, and shade tolerance, it can be planted under forest and on barren hills. In short, the difficulty of planting is very low, and it does not occupy cultivated land.

Oil peony can be harvested for up to 50 years from a single planting. The high-yield period is also around 30 years. Therefore, oil peony is a crop with long-term returns. Planting oil peony cannot be rushed, and long-term preparation must be made. When planting oil peony in farmland, the seed yield is 600-800 jin, and after deducting costs, about 5,000 yuan can be earned per mu. When planting oil peony on barren hills, the seed yield is also around 400 jin.

Whether planting oil peony makes money is determined by local climate conditions, subsidy levels, and one's own level of agricultural technology. If all conditions are not optimal, it is not recommended to plant oil peony. However, with the development of agricultural technology and the continuous increase in national subsidies, woody oil crops like oil peony will certainly be gradually promoted.
