Figs are a pollution-free green food, hailed as the “guardian of human health in the 21st century”. How much is a jin of fresh and dried figs? What are the costs, yield and profits of planting 100 mu? Let us take a look together below.

How much is a jin of fresh figs

The market price of fresh figs is around ten yuan per jin; in some places you can pick them yourself in the field, and this kind is a bit more expensive, but generally no more than thirty-five yuan per jin. If they are air-freighted South African figs, the price is about forty yuan per jin, and if they are Weihai figs, the price can reach forty yuan per jin.

How much is a jin of dried figs

Dried figs are 30-50 yuan per jin, though very expensive high-end figs cannot be ruled out. Dried figs are made by drying fresh figs into dried fruit. Although making dried figs is to some extent a way to extend the shelf life of figs, compared with fresh figs, dried figs also have a distinctive flavor of their own.

Cost, yield and profit analysis for planting 100 mu

Economic benefits: fig trees bear fruit 2-3 years after planting, and enter the full fruiting period in 6-7 years. The trees have a long lifespan, with a general economic lifespan of 30~50 years.

Take the Brunswick variety as an example:

[Cost input]

Investment in the first year: land rent, seedling cost, land preparation and planting costs, fertilizer, irrigation and drainage, loosening soil and weeding (intercropping is generally possible), and others; the last four items are generally about 1,000 yuan.

Investment in each subsequent year: land rent, fertilizer, irrigation and drainage, tending and weeding, and others. The last four items are generally about 1,000 yuan. If cold protection is needed, about 500 yuan more must be added depending on the region.

[Output]

About 8 ripe figs make a jin, and one plant can bear about 20 fruits. Calculated according to standard row spacing, there are about 100 trees per mu, and the yield per mu during the full fruiting period is more than 3,000 jin. At a purchase price of 5 yuan per jin, the output value of 100 mu of figs is about 1.5 million yuan.

Potted cultivation: fig trees have luxuriant branches and leaves and an elegant tree form, with good ornamental value, and are a good ornamental tree species for landscaping gardens and courtyards. They bear fruit in the same year they are planted, making them one of the best potted fruit trees. If fig bonsai are vigorously developed, the benefits will be very obvious, and they are currently one of the potted fruit trees with the highest profit margins.

From this it can be seen that the planting benefits of figs are considerable.
