I think it is true. Because the retail price of dried chili peppers sold in our store is 30.00 yuan/kg and the wholesale price is 26.00 yuan/kg, the sales volume is very large, with daily sales volume of about 10 kg. A few years ago, our family had to grow seven or eight crops of Korean pepper every year. I have personally experienced that three conditions must be met for planting, and there is no problem in producing 10,000 yuan per mu. Therefore, I think it is correct to plant peppers worth 10,000 yuan per acre.

First of all, the yield depends on the variety of pepper grown. There are many varieties of Chaotian pepper. Different varieties have different yields in the same planting environment. There is Sichuan rice pepper locally, which is small in size and low in yield. Hunan's spicy production is quite high, with an output of 460 to 500 kilograms of dried chili per mu. Choosing pepper varieties with tall plants means high yields. Needless to say, it is difficult to achieve the yields of small plants. Generally choose hybrid peppers, which have high yields.

Second, the planting technology is high and the yield of dried peppers is high. The Chaotian peppers that our family grew a few years ago were planted in the greenhouse around the hibernation festival. After the Qingming Festival, it was transplanted into the ground. During the seedling cultivation period, it is necessary to prevent and control bacterial wilt, damping-off disease and underground pests to ensure that the seedlings are neat, strong and growing vigorously. When transplanting in the field, attention should be paid to density. When peppers are grown, the yield is high with sufficient water and fertilizer.

In addition to base fertilizer, seedlings should also be fully watered when planting to ensure rapid overall survival. Attention should be paid to top dressing during the seedling stage, usually once every 10-15 days. It is recommended to rinse the nitrogen fertilizer with dilute water or urine. In short, based on my family’s experience in growing peppers, the average output of dried peppers per mu is 400 ~ 500 kilograms. Calculated based on 400 kilograms, the wholesale price is 26.00 yuan/kg, the retail price is 30.00 yuan/kg, and the price per mu can reach 10,400 ~ 12,000 yuan. Therefore, it is very safe and reliable to make a profit of 10,000 yuan per mu of Chaotian pepper.
