Growing vegetables with foam boxes, plastic buckets, flower pots and unused wooden pots is a tradition of the older generation, but it is nothing special. The analyst planted an acre of land at home, which is more of a hobby. However, seven or eight years ago, Wenzhou media reported that some hotels sold "potted vegetables" as dishes. It's a local restaurant that calls potted vegetables "farm vegetables". Usually, three pots of potted vegetables can be fried in two plates. "Vegetables bought in the market are easy to keep fresh for several days. This kind of potted vegetable is now cut and fried, and it tastes better. " Fang, head of the restaurant, said.
Of course, the limitations of ordinary people's own potted vegetables are still relatively large. Generally speaking, it is a leafy vegetable with short growth cycle, such as baby cabbage, beet, lettuce and oil winter vegetable. It is not easy to grow melons.
However, after that, "potted vegetables" began to develop. Hunan Red Net reported that "the potted vegetables in our base include pepper, tomato, eggplant, zucchini, towel gourd and bitter gourd." Zhou, a technician at the base of Hunan Horticultural College in Gao Qiao Town, Changsha County, said that the yield of these vegetables is 50% higher than that of ordinary vegetables, and these potted vegetables are cultivated in special soil without using any pesticides.
After that, "potted vegetables" became more and more popular in a certain range, and Xinfa Society issued a document, and the "potted vegetables" cultivated by jimo city Harvest Planting Cooperative ushered in the peak season of production and sales. Ornamental and edible bonsai, such as lettuce, tomato and celery, cultivated by the cooperative by substrate soilless culture technology are very popular in domestic and foreign markets.
According to the report, the average period from sowing to marketing is two months, and the price of each pot ranges from 20 to 30 yuan.
The key is whether we can find the right market.
However, after a period of time, an acre of field analysts looked at the market again and saw that the "potted vegetable" market, which had already warmed up, seemed to have become tepid again.
"Throughout the first half of this year, the company did not grow potted vegetables, mainly because the market consumption did not reach the scale, and the benefits were still not as good as flowers." Zhou Jing, assistant general manager of Changzhou Lv Jia Company, was tepid when talking about this matter to the media.
Ying Yingze, general manager of Changzhou Shenglv Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. analyzed that when the price is high, a pot of vegetables costs more than 30 yuan, which is basically gone after eating at one time. Except for a few water spinach and leeks, they can grow again once cut, and most leafy vegetables and fruits can only be eaten once. Secondly, the varieties of potted vegetables are relatively simple, which are nothing more than tomatoes, lettuce and water spinach. For ordinary people, these limited varieties can't meet the table needs of three meals a day.
Tianjin Daily conducted a survey on "Problems in Potted Vegetables Market": It is difficult to see potted vegetables in the market, and some citizens reported that they could not buy them at all. The reporter found that although there is market demand, vegetable planting enterprises complain that no one buys them and are unwilling to produce potted vegetables.
Back to Jiang Yunchao's management, he introduced that two hotels in Shenxian had just ordered potted vegetables. "Now the van can't meet the demand for food delivery. I'm going to buy a van. " "In addition to being sent to hotels, there are also many families to buy. There are bright pots of vegetables on the balcony, which are both beautiful and edible. "
An acre of field analysts believe that, of course, potted vegetables can't replace greenhouse vegetables, and not every citizen is willing to spend time planting potted vegetables on the balcony, but operators only need to find a suitable market, and a market segment that suits them can get higher economic benefits and development to a certain extent. The key is to receive customers at low cost, which may be restaurants, units with display needs, or Taobao shops with special operations. Generally speaking, such personalized customers tend to look for suppliers online.
