How promising is goldenberry cultivation? Market and profitability analysis
Goldenberry, also known as gu niang guo or jin gu niang, is a type of berry and an premium nutritional and health-promoting herbaceous fruit used both as food and medicine. In medicine, goldenberry is often used to treat anemia, while ripe goldenberries can not only be eaten fresh but also processed into jam, candied fruit and more, making them deeply loved by everyone. So today we are mainly here to learn about the prospects of goldenberry cultivation; follow along as we analyze it together below.
1. Cultivation prospects analysis
In fact, many people are not very familiar with goldenberry. A few years ago, there were still many wild goldenberries in many rural areas, but in rural areas people basically would not touch this fruit. With the promotion of goldenberry in the market, people have gained a new understanding of it, and wild goldenberries have been picked clean. However, the current scale of artificial goldenberry cultivation is not very large, and there are still many markets that have not been opened up, so the market prospects for goldenberry are very broad. In addition, the current market price of goldenberry is also relatively high, so at least in 2019 growing goldenberry was still quite profitable.
2. Market price analysis
The market price of goldenberry is quite good, but there is no unified standard. In some places goldenberries are relatively expensive, while in other places goldenberries are still not worth much, so we need to analyze based on specific circumstances. Secondly, the quality of goldenberries also has a certain impact on price. At present, the general price of goldenberries on the market is 29 yuan per jin, but goldenberries from Northeast China are only 25 yuan per jin, and goldenberries from Harbin sell for only 15 yuan per jin. In some places goldenberries are even cheaper, and may even be given away with no one wanting them.
3. Cultivation cost analysis
Goldenberry has strong adaptability and is also very easy to grow. The cost of goldenberry cultivation mainly includes land rent, seedling or seed costs, labor management costs, fertilizer and pesticide costs, and some other miscellaneous expenses for auxiliary cultivation. If we calculate rent at 1,500, the seed cost is about 200 yuan, and generally speaking the total cost of growing one mu of goldenberry is about 10,000 yuan.
4. Profit and return analysis
Goldenberry can generally be planted for two seasons, but if planted in the same year, the yield is generally not very high, and only in the second year will production increase. Let us assume that the yield of goldenberry per mu per season is 1,000 jin, so if grown for one year the total yield per mu is 2,000 jin. Calculated at the current market price of 15 to 29 yuan per jin for goldenberries, growing one mu of goldenberry can bring a benefit of 30,000 to 58,000 yuan. The cost of growing one mu of goldenberry is about 10,000 yuan, and after subtracting the cost, the net profit per mu is about 20,000 to 40,000 yuan, so the profit margin is quite large.
Based on the above analysis of the cost input, profit returns and market price of goldenberry cultivation, we can see that the current market prospects for growing goldenberry are very good, so we can also consider growing it.
