Do you make money growing burdock in 2019? What are the planting prospects?

Burdock, also known as Dalizi, evil, and so on, was widely planted in China after it was introduced from Japan, and its roots can also be made into tea, which is similar in appearance to yam. So, will it make money to grow burdock in 2019? What are the planting prospects? Let's get to know it together.

1. The present situation of development

In fact, the reason why burdock in China is not very popular is mainly due to the lack of publicity, and people do not know about burdock. As people gradually discover its nutritional value and edible value, China has begun a large-scale planting plan. Burdock planting bases in areas such as Shandong have begun to take shape, and most of the main production areas for foreign sales in China are concentrated in this area. In recent years, the promotion of burdock in China has gradually improved, when the success of the opening of the domestic market will inevitably lead to a surge in demand, coupled with the growing demand abroad, its development is not optimistic.

2. Market price

The production area is mainly distributed in the north of our country, so there will be a general difference in the price between the north and the south. The same sample is close to twice that of the north. The wholesale price of fresh burdock in the north is about 2 yuan. After processing, it varies from 6 to 10 yuan. In the south, the general price is about 4 yuan, and the more expensive ones start at 10 yuan. This price is generally expected to decline a little in the later period.

3. Planting benefits

The planting time of burdock is not fixed, but in order to be listed on the market, the seeds will usually be sown around January or May. The current yield per mu in our country is very unstable. Some mu yield is only 4000 jin, while others reach 6000 jin. The general input is about 2000 yuan per mu. If the market price is normal, the income per mu is 8000 yuan. If rough processing, it can be about 10,000 yuan, and the net profit is about 6000 yuan. It is relatively a kind of crop with high economic benefits, so it is still recommended to be planted.

4. Sales channels

At present, burdock sales direction is divided into domestic and foreign sales, domestic people will specially come to plant land acquisition, most people will mainly buy fresh, foreign sales generally need to go through a certain treatment to keep fresh, so the price abroad will be a little higher, it will take more time, there will be special personnel door-to-door to collect goods, now dried burdock is also slowly popular. Therefore, at present, there are still many sales channels of burdock, mainly unable to keep up with the cultivation, especially after the domestic market is opened up in the later stage.

Generally speaking, the planting benefit of burdock is still good, if we plant scientifically and increase the yield per mu, the planting prospect is still very broad, we might as well consider it.
