How much profit can 10 acres of apples make in a year (investment cost and profit of apple planting)

How much does it cost to plant 10 acres of apples in a year?

Over the past 10 years, the per-acre output value in many apple-producing areas across the country has been between 6,000 and 9,000 yuan, maintaining a relatively high per-acre output value.

But this is only the output value per mu, not the final profit, because it is related to the planting cost. So how much does it cost to invest in one acre of apple orchard?

①Seedling cost

Under normal circumstances, one acre of land requires about 40 apple seedlings, and now the price of apple tree seedlings is about 2.5 yuan, so the cost of apple seedlings for one acre is 100 yuan .

② Expenses for pesticides, fertilizers, etc.

When planting apples, various expenses are required, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural films. Among them, the investment in fertilizers is relatively large, about 700 yuan per mu of land, about 200 yuan for pesticides, and about 1,000 yuan for agricultural films and other expenses.

③Manual management

Generally speaking, it takes about 22 days to manually manage an apple tree, which, based on a labor fee of 80 yuan per day, would cost approximately 1,800 yuan .

④Other expenses

When planting, you will also need to invest in various miscellaneous expenses such as water, electricity, drainage, maintenance, fuel, etc. Although they are not high, the total cost is about 500 yuan .

In summary, the annual cost of planting one acre of apples is about 4,100 yuan , which does not include land rent. If you want to rent land for planting, the total cost is about 4,500 yuan, and 10 acres will cost 50,000 yuan .

How much can you earn from a 10-acre apple orchard?

The growth cycle of apple trees is relatively long. Generally, they will enter the fruiting period about 3 years after planting , but they can bear fruit continuously for more than ten years or even decades.

Therefore, apples are basically in a pure investment state in the first three years of planting, so the planting cost in the first three years is about 150,000 .

When apple trees enter the high-yield period, the yield of one acre is about 6,000 catties , and the current purchase price in the market is 3 yuan per catty. Therefore, the output value of one acre of apples can reach 18,000 .

Excluding the four-year planting cost, the profit of one mu can reach 4,000 yuan, and the profit of 10 mu can reach 40,000 yuan . And this is only the first year of bumper harvest. Excluding the four-year planting cost, the cost will be lower and lower, and the profit will be higher and higher.
