An acre of land easy income of 10,000 yuan last year's market darling raspberry is still worth investing in planting

These sunburned on the ground are palm leaf raspberries, a traditional Chinese medicine whose prices have been rising in recent years. The palm leaf raspberry is named because its leaves are forked like the palm of the hand. the palm leaf raspberry has the characteristics of simple cultivation and management, few diseases and insect pests, short return cycle, easy planting and so on, so it is deeply loved by some farmers who lack professional planting experience in rural areas.

Raspberry picking time is when the fruit will not be red, green fruit picked and dried can be sold, if red can only be used as fruit berries, can not be sold as traditional Chinese medicine. So picking raspberries every year is also the busiest time in the countryside. Everyone should finish picking the fruit before it turns red.

Palmleaf raspberry is a perennial shrub with spines on the top and bottom of the branches, and the shoots of the year bear fruit in the second year. Cut off the fruiting branches when picking and keep the tender branches pulled out in the spring of that year.

The best time to plant raspberries is in the first month. Dig up old piles and water roots and hay to prevent frost damage. Ching Ming Festival usually pulls out tender branches and pinches the top to promote branches when the branches grow to about two meters long. The planting base fertilizer is mainly farm fertilizer, with a small amount of three-element compound fertilizer as the bottom.

Raspberries want to prevent branches from being too long and lodging. If possible, raspberries can be fixed by pulling ropes. Generally, raspberries do not need to use medicine in their lifetime. Overwintering fertilizer is applied once every autumn before the leaves fall, and rotten farm fertilizer is applied to enhance fertility. Second, it can survive the winter and prevent the cold.

Raspberries have a short return cycle because of their simple planting. In recent years, wild raspberry has been replaced by artificial planting, and the planting trend has not decreased. According to past experience, this short-term and rapid planting industry is prone to market surplus in a certain period of time.

Last year, the purchase price of raspberry fresh fruit in rural areas of Jixi County, Anhui Province started at 35 yuan, peaking at 40 yuan per jin. The purchase price of this year's picking period is 15 yuan per jin, with a price drop of 60%. This has also caused great losses to those who invested in development at the beginning of last year. But that's what the market is like, and things that can develop rapidly always fall back quickly.

Raspberries plant about 200 old stakes per mu, and the fresh fruit can be harvested in the peak period. If calculated according to the peak price, the income per mu can reach more than 10,000 yuan.

There are risks in agricultural investment, especially in this swarm of projects, farmers still need to be cautious when investing.
