How much profit can be obtained from chestnut planting? Benefits and prospects of chestnut planting

The chestnut production in my country cannot meet the demand, so most of the chestnuts in my country are imported from other regions. In addition, regular consumption of chestnuts has many benefits to the body, and their medicinal and edible values ​​are relatively high.

What is the yield of chestnut per mu?

The yield of chestnuts per mu is about 80 catties . 7-8 years after planting, when chestnuts enter the peak fruit-bearing period , the yield of chestnuts per mu is about 500 catties . Due to different varieties, the yield will also vary, and the yield of chestnuts per mu can reach 1,200 catties .

Profit from planting one acre of chestnuts

The profit of chestnuts per mu can reach about 8,000 yuan . However, the climate and temperature in different places are different, so the specific profit of chestnuts should be determined according to the actual situation.

When planting chestnuts, the temperature can be maintained at 8-15 degrees, and sufficient water can be provided, but there should be no accumulation of water. The daily sunshine time should be maintained at more than 6 hours, and the overgrown branches should be trimmed in time to enhance the permeability between trees.

Chestnut planting technology

1. Variety selection

First of all, when planting chestnut trees, the choice of variety is very critical. It is recommended that you choose a chestnut tree variety that is suitable for the local climate, preferably one with a certain degree of disease and insect resistance, which is more conducive to later growth.

2. Soil requirements

The chestnut tree is not very demanding on soil. It has a very strong adaptability and can be planted in most parts of my country. Although it prefers moist soil, it is not good if the soil is too moist. If the roots are soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to affect the normal development of the tree.

It is recommended that you choose a plot with a certain slope and height and slightly acidic soil before planting. It is not possible to plant in low-lying and humid land.

3. Reasonable planting

In order to improve the quality of chestnuts, the planting density must be planned reasonably. An average of 30 to 40 plants per acre is optimal. Too dense planting will easily affect the yield and quality of chestnuts.

Prospects of chestnut cultivation

Because chestnut trees are easy to cultivate, easy to work with, high in yield, long harvest period, and high in price , cultivating chestnuts in rural areas, especially in hilly areas, still has a good prospect.

Chestnut is a common plant in China. Because its fruit is rich in nutrients and its production output is very low, its price in the market has always been high, so the market prospects are still very good .
