Zanthoxylum bungeanum has always been one of the most common condiments in my country, and the price of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not low, but there are not many farmers who grow it. There are several Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees planted at home. What I don’t like the most is picking Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Although the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree is not very tall, it has many thorns on it, which makes picking very troublesome. Sometimes I have to pick it all morning. Not much peppercorns.
The price of Zanthoxylum bungeanum on the market is relatively stable, and the demand is relatively stable. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a very common condiment in Chinese food. As people's living conditions continue to improve, the demand for it is steadily increasing, and the price is relatively high. And the demand for Zanthoxylum bungeanum in other aspects is also gradually increasing.
For example, Zanthoxylum bungeanum is used to extract Zanthoxylum bungeanum oil, Zanthoxylum bungeanum noodle and other condiments.

Therefore, many countries in the world have to import Zanthoxylum bungeanum from my country.
Another point that needs to be explained is that planting Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not a guaranteed profit. The income from Zanthoxylum bungeanum planting is not particularly high, but it is relatively stable. The main issue to consider here is that Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees generally have thorns, which will cause a lot of trouble for picking. If the Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not picked in time, the Zanthoxylum bungeanum will crack, which is not very good for the quality of the Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Therefore, picking pepper requires a considerable amount of labor costs every year.
Another point is that the yield of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not high. Friends who have planted Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees should know that a three-year-old Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree can pick up to about two kilograms of dried Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Even if one grows, Only about 4 pounds of dried Zanthoxylum bungeanum can be harvested from an old Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree that is more than 8 years old. Naturally, such a low yield cannot allow farmers to make a lot of profits. Therefore, pepper cultivation is still a relatively laborious planting project.
If you want to plant Zanthoxylum bungeanum on a large scale, you must consider the cost of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Here we take one acre of pepper cultivation as an example and do a simple calculation. Generally, the first thing to consider for one acre of pepper land is the land rent. In ordinary areas, the rent for one acre of land is about 400 yuan. Of course, the price will vary slightly in different regions. Then there is the issue of pepper seedlings. Generally, 60 pepper trees can be planted in one acre of land.
Because the varieties of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings are different, the prices will be slightly different. Generally, Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings cost about 2 yuan a piece, which also costs about 120 Yuan. In addition, labor, fertilizers, herbicides, etc. are also required. Investment, approximately 1,000 yuan per acre of pepper.
Panthoxylum bungeanum will generally bear fruit after two years, and the yield of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is gradually rising. That is to say, the yield of Zanthoxylum bungeanum per mu is about 70 to 150 kilograms in the first two years, and will be between 150 and 240 kilograms per mu in five years. About kilograms. The market price of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is about 30 yuan per pound, which means that in five years, one acre of Zanthoxylum bungeanum can earn about 5,000 yuan.
However, the planting industry is still a very hard industry, and it will not be easy once and for all, so growers still need to work hard to make money.
