Some people say that the cost of sugar orange is 2 pounds, and the price loss is less than that of 2 yuan. The following is a simple calculation. What is the cost of planting sugar orange? Sugar orange, usually the fruit of three years, is planted with 1 10 trees per mu, and each sugar orange seedling is 4 yuan/tree, so the cost of sugar orange seedlings is 440 yuan per mu. The most expensive thing in sugar oranges is labor cost, which usually takes about 1600 yuan for four years, while other costs and four-year time are about 1000 yuan. In this way, based on the cost per mu, four years is about 3040 yuan.
Sugar orange is calculated according to the average yield of 20 kilograms of silt orange, so the yield of 1 mu of land is 220 kilograms, so the cost price of each kilogram of sugar orange is about 1.38 yuan/kg. The price of these candied oranges, which have been used for four years, is 1.38 yuan, which is far lower than the owner's 2 yuan. In addition, in the past few years, sugar orange land can grow crops, which is a meager economic income. If the sugar oranges are increased to 8 years and reach the fruiting period, the yield of sugar oranges per mu is about 5,000 yuan, so the cost is lower than 1 yuan, and the average cost per kilogram of sugar oranges is about 0.7 yuan.
Sugar oranges are usually planted in the southern mountainous areas, but there are few sand oranges in the north, and the ripening time of sand oranges is usually from October of the following year to February of the following year. Oranges are also suitable for water and soil in the south, and the output is also very high. Those who immediately increase labor and transportation costs before and after the Spring Festival will eventually go home for the Spring Festival. Therefore, the total amount of sugar oranges supplied this year is less than that of Hemei. Of course, oranges are not easy to transport because of their thin skin, but the price of sugar candy has also dropped like a cliff this year.
Therefore, the price of Shatang oranges can make the price of each orange exceed 1.5 yuan in the first few years. You can make money at the price of 1 yuan during the sugar orange fruit period.
