What risks should be noted in longan cultivation?
As a hot-selling fruit, longan is the first choice for many people to plant. The overly heated atmosphere conceals some of the risks of growing longan, leading many people to see only the popularity and the money to be made. After joining in, they discover there are just as many risks, but by then they are stuck, because they have already invested a lot of money. So which longan cultivation risks should everyone think about more?
1. Frequent diseases
Longan grows in a relatively hot and humid environment and is a tropical fruit. Combined with the fact that the fruit itself is quite sweet, this leads to longan diseases and pests being relatively frequent. But there are many pesticides that cannot be used on longan, because once used, the fruit cannot be sold, which makes disease and pest prevention difficult. Beginners basically all suffer this loss, using excessive medication against diseases, which makes their fruit unsellable. It is best to learn more about this information, because longan has to face these situations often!
2. Empty shells
Empty shells are a situation growers really dislike. When their fruit has many empty shells, few people are willing to come and take the goods, cutting off their sales channel. But empty-shell longans are generally hard to spot, because they look the same as normal longans on the outside with no abnormality, and empty-shell longans easily appear in batches. Here the empty shells do not all grow together, but are distributed in different places throughout the tree. Everyone knows a single tree bears a lot of longans, so there is no way to inspect them one by one. For this kind of risk, the only option is to do a good job of prevention in advance.
3. High technical requirements
Growing longan is actually not simple either, and the technical content is by no means low. Failure in novice cultivation is common. When you are excited and think you have mastered this cultivation technique, you will find during planting that you have not even grasped the basics. Because of the growing environment, when planting longan, growers need to be able to appropriately adjust the cultivation process according to current environmental changes, because under such conditions, some problems will appear very quickly. Friends who want to grow it, do you think your skills are up to standard?
4. Slow capital recovery
The investment in this is not as little as everyone thinks. From fruit seedlings to orchards to various kinds of equipment, the funds needed are relatively large. In addition, a longan tree cannot be harvested as soon as it is planted. It needs time to grow and then enter the full fruiting period. Only then will your funds slowly be recovered, and this is still under ideal conditions. This also means that when you plant this, your funds will be tied up in it in the early stage. In addition, when problems arise, you need to prepare extra funds, and the recovery time is several years later. Everyone should consider whether they have this financial capacity.
Growing longan still depends on doing what your means allow. Many people can meet the funding needs of longan cultivation, but not many can bear this loss. Facing these risks, everyone should consider them carefully!
