Before planting garlic, you should first understand the cost and profit of garlic planting and the yield per mu of garlic, and then plant it according to your actual situation.
First, the cost of planting garlic on an acre of land
The cost of garlic is divided into six items: garlic seed, chemical fertilizer, pesticide, plastic film, irrigation and garlic harvesting.
1, garlic seeds need 350-400 kg per mu, which is almost 1750-2000 yuan;
2. The use of chemical fertilizer is mainly compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer, among which, the amount of compound fertilizer is 2 bags per mu and organic fertilizer is 3 bags per mu, and the total cost of chemical fertilizer for planting garlic per mu is about 1500 yuan;
3. Because garlic has a natural function of insect resistance and sterilization, the main pesticides used in the production process are herbicides, and the cost per mu is about 100 yuan;
4. The agricultural film is mainly plastic film, and the cost of using disposable plastic film per mu is about 30 yuan;
5. The garlic field is pumped by electric power or diesel power, with an average irrigation of 3 times per mu, and the total cost is about 50 yuan;
6. The labor cost of planting garlic on an acre of land is about 1000 yuan (including the expenses of employees such as planting garlic and digging garlic).
This year, due to the lack of labor during the garlic harvest, the wages of workers are even higher, reaching 1500 mu in Jinxiang area.
Henan 800 to 1000, with an average of 1000.
Other places are not lower than Henan.
(Henan is a populous province, and workers' wages are relatively low)
According to the above data, it costs about 5,000 yuan to plant garlic on an acre of land.
Second, the yield of garlic planted on an acre of land
Let's start with Jinxiang, where the production reduction is serious. As a native of Jinxiang, I don't know much about the garlic situation in Jinxiang.
Due to the long planting history and long garlic planting time in jinxiang garlic, the yield reduction is serious. Generally, the yield of dry garlic per mu is about 1600 to 1800 kg.
A few better ones are 2000 kg.
(Less) It is calculated according to the average output here.
Of course, there are those who receive more and those who receive less. We only calculate the output that most can achieve here.
Talking about the situation in other producing areas.
Like Henan, Hebei and Jiangsu, the average yield per mu is about 2000 kg of dried garlic.
The cost price is about 1.2 yuan. Because the quality of these places is not as good as that of Jinxiang, the current purchase price is about 1.2 yuan.
Three, the profit of planting an acre of garlic
According to the cost calculation, the fresh garlic should be sold to 1.7 yuan at least this year to cover the cost.
Excluding the cost, it is the profit of garlic.
Last year, when the market was so good, fresh garlic began to be sold around 2.3 yuan.
How is the price of garlic compared with other crops?
