Only the rich can afford tea oil that costs 60 yuan per pound. This is the most important reason why camellia oil has not entered every household. Let’s discuss why camellia oil is so expensive and why its output is so small. Tea oil price.

Just now we said that 60 yuan for camellia oil is the price of camellia oil in Yongzhou, Hunan. In 2015, we bought it at a friend’s house in Taowu, Jianghua. I bought a dozen kilograms for 60 yuan. In my country, it is grown from the Yangtze River Basin to the Pearl River Basin, that is, in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangsu and other places. There will definitely be some differences in the price of camellia oil in each place, but generally speaking, the price of camellia oil in Hunan and Jiangxi is "cost". "They are all around 40 yuan, and the ones in Anhui may be a little more expensive.

In addition, the different qualities of camellia oil are also one of the important factors that affect the price of camellia oil. Camellia oleifera trees are divided into wild camellia oleifera trees in the mountains and large-area artificially planted camellia oleifera trees. There is a huge difference in the output of the two. , the prices are naturally different. Camellia oil pressed by traditional technology has less water and a low oil yield, while tea oil pressed by a machine has a higher oil yield but contains more water, which also affects the price of camellia oil to a certain extent.

But overall, the cost of camellia oil is relatively high. After packaging, the market price is more than 50 yuan per catty, and some wild camellia oil is even more than 100 yuan per catty. The price, if you use it for cooking and seasoning every day, you will be the richest among the rich. Camellia oil production.

It usually takes three years for Camellia oleifera trees to bear fruit. However, in order to grow the tree in the first five years, the fruit is generally not allowed to remain. It enters the high-yield period in about 7 years. If the Camellia oleifera trees are well managed, each Camellia oleifera tree will be in It can produce about 10 kilograms of Camellia oleifera fruits in one time, and less than 3 kilograms of Camellia oleifera seeds after drying. About 90 Camellia oleifera trees can be planted per acre, so each acre of Camellia oleifera trees can produce 270 kilograms of Camellia oleifera seeds every year, and all the Camellia oleifera seeds are pressed into oil. That is a yield of 50 kilograms per mu. This is the output under ideal conditions. If there is adverse weather conditions, the output will be lower, which is about 40 kilograms on average. Converted into benefits, the income is more than 2,000 yuan. After excluding production costs, there is still a 7-year fruitless period. There is really no benefit from these two thousand yuan.

In rural areas of Hunan, after catching some game in the mountains and other places, they cook it with camellia oil and then serve it to guests. The taste is extremely delicious. If you want to eat authentic camellia oil, you really have to spend a lot of effort.
