2. What vegetables are relatively profitable to grow in 2020?
1. Vegetables with high sales
If you do not have sufficient sales and do not have enough experience, then you can grow the above vegetables with relatively large sales volumes, such as radish, lotus root, potato, napa cabbage, lettuce, winter melon, cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant, green pepper and so on. These vegetables have large sales volumes on the market and are highly popular, so you hardly need to worry about sales. However, growing vegetables with high sales means the price will be relatively low and the average profit relatively small. This suits small and medium-sized farmers who do not have sufficient sales channels.
2. Vegetables with large price fluctuations
Some vegetables have relatively large price fluctuations. During 2019, the prices of vegetables such as peanut, ginger and scallion fluctuated greatly, and some speculators were able to take advantage of vegetables with price fluctuations to gain relatively high profits. However, choosing vegetables with large price fluctuations carries a certain risk, because ordinary people cannot predict which vegetables will have relatively large price fluctuations. Choosing vegetables with large price fluctuations is only suitable for some speculators and some farmers who are lucky, and is not recommended for ordinary small and medium-sized farmers.
3. Rare and precious vegetables seldom seen on the market
Although there are many vegetables on the market, some relatively rare vegetables are also very popular. Such vegetables are often relatively expensive, and a small number of consumers will pay for them just to try something new, so large-scale planting requires caution. Such vegetables include golden silk gourd, tree head vegetable, mini pumpkin, purple bok choy and so on.
What vegetables to grow still has to be decided according to your own actual situation. As long as you grow mainstream vegetables, you can generally make money.
