What are the prospects for growing figs?

Although figs have a long history of cultivation, systematic research on cultivation techniques started relatively late. China began fig research in the 1980s. With progress in fig research in various countries, especially the gradual understanding of the medicinal and health value of figs, as well as research progress in using them to treat cancer, people have gained a new understanding of the economic value of figs. At present, the world's annual fig output is about 2.5 million tons, while China's annual output is less than 6,000 tons, ranking 22nd in the world. Figs in China are mostly grown in scattered plots; the national cultivation area is only equivalent to 1/1220 of the apple cultivation area and 1/420 of the citrus cultivation area, making it one of the fruit tree types with the smallest cultivation area in China. Therefore, figs have broad market prospects.

How much does it cost to plant one mu of figs?

For planting one mu of figs, the most practical current spacing is 2 x 1.5 m with 200 plants per mu; first-grade saplings at five yuan each require an investment of about two thousand yuan per mu. There are also investments such as land rent, land preparation and planting costs, fertilizer, irrigation and drainage, loosening soil and weeding (generally can be intercropped), and others, of which the latter four items generally total about one thousand yuan. At the same time, if cold protection is needed, depending on the region, about 500 yuan in additional investment is required. Calculated this way, excluding land rent, the first-year investment for one mu of fig trees is about 3,500 yuan.
