Does it make money to grow chili peppers?

Jize pepper, also known as "sheep horn pepper", has a history of more than 1400 years since it was introduced into Jize Xiaoliangzhuang. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Jize pepper was paid tribute to the court and became a good condiment in the royal dining room. It is named for its purple, red, smooth color, slender tip with hooks and shaped like sheep's horns. Let's take a look at the planting benefits of Jize chili peppers.

Investment and profit of one mu of wheat

1. Investment: 30 yuan for straw returning to the field, 200 yuan for fertilizer, 150 yuan for bottom fertilizer, 50 yuan for topdressing, 50 yuan for seeds, 50 yuan for rotary cultivated land, 30 yuan for sowing, 80 yuan for irrigating land for four times, 50 yuan for pesticides, including seed dressing, weeding and pest control, harvesting 60 yuan, pulling and transporting 15 yuan, a total investment of 565 yuan.

2. Profit: the yield of wheat per mu is between 800kg and 1000jin, calculated according to the yield of 900jin per mu, 1.18kg per jin, the output value of wheat per mu is 9001.181062 yuan, excluding land rent and wages, the gross profit of planting wheat per mu is 1062-56500497 yuan.

Investment and profit of one mu of corn

1. Investment: 40 yuan for cultivated land, 30 yuan for sowing, 25 yuan for seeds, 60 yuan for irrigating land three times. Take potassium sulfate compound fertilizer as an example, 165 yuan per bag, two bags from planting to harvest, about 330 yuan, harvest 60 yuan, threshing 20 yuan, herbicide and other pesticides 30 yuan, a total of 595 yuan.

2. Profit: corn generally produces 1300 jin per mu, calculated at 0.8 yuan per catty, the output value of one mu of corn is 13000.8 yuan 1040 yuan, excluding land rent and wages, the gross profit of growing corn per mu is 1040-595 yuan 445 yuan.

Planting benefit of Jize Pepper

According to the above calculation, if farmers grow one mu of wheat and corn, the annual gross profit is 497-445-942 yuan. If it is a large family of contracted land, coupled with land rent and labor, instead of making money, most of them will lose money, so it is very difficult to gain benefits by planting conventional crops. If you are not far from Jize, and you still have white land and have just finished harvesting wheat, you might as well plant some chili peppers. Jize pepper has many characteristics, such as thin skin, thick meat, fresh color, fragrant taste, strong adaptability and so on. Chili peppers can generally be planted on land that can grow other crops, either alone or interplanted with garlic, onions and young trees. A large number of chili peppers are purchased, generally producing four or five thousand jin of fresh pepper per mu, and the price is about one yuan per catty. Planting one mu of pepper, excluding land rent and wages, requires an investment of about 700 yuan, and the planting benefit is several times higher than that of corn and other conventional crops. the product Jize is purchased in large quantities, and after harvest, Jize pepper can also grow onions and other highly efficient crops.
