The prospect of planting Chinese yam: how much is the profit of planting Chinese yam? How many jin of yam can be produced per mu?

   February 1, the fifth day of the first lunar month, amid the sound of firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth, the long-distance bus station in Wenxian County, Henan Province began to liven up. Travelers returning from the festival are filled with warm wishes from their relatives, often without iron bars and yams. "I took six boxes back this year. Apart from eating them myself, I also gave them to my friends in Wuhan to have a taste." Zhang Yong, who has worked in Wuhan for more than a decade, brings some yams on his Spring Festival return journey every year.

   Wenxian is the origin of iron bar yam. The yam produced here is of high quality, good taste and rich nutrition. "if you want to endow jade extension with no good words, talk shyly about honey and sheep soup" is the ancient praise of yam. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's dietary needs have also changed from "full" to "eat well" and "eat healthily", and the demand for high-quality, characteristic and high-quality agricultural products is constantly increasing. Taking the market as the orientation, promoting the structural reform on the agricultural supply side and giving full play to the advantages of characteristics can not only enrich people's dining tables, but also effectively increase farmers' income.

   is now in Wenxian County, more and more farmers have given up corn to grow iron bar yam. Although the increase in market supply affected the price of yam to some extent, it did not weaken farmers' confidence in planting. "the price of iron bar yam is not high this year, five or six yuan per jin, and last year it sold for more than 8 yuan. Although the price is lower, it is much better than growing corn." According to Zhou Changge, who has been in the wholesale business of yam for eight years, the price of yam has hit bottom, and the villagers will continue to grow yam after harvesting wheat. How much can I earn from growing one mu of yam? Qiao Zhong-Chao, a yam grower, calculated an account: "renting 1300 mu of good land a year, fertilizing and watering 700yuan, labor costs 2000 yuan, the total cost is 4000 yuan." Generally speaking, one mu of land can produce 2800 jin of yam. According to this year's 5 yuan per jin, one mu of land can earn 10 thousand yuan. "

   with the popularity of the Internet in rural areas, some farmers also began to try online sales. "after graduating from college, I went home to rent land and grow yams, and I also opened an online shop, so I could sell some of them, but it's easy to break the yam by express delivery, and this problem hasn't been solved yet." "Post-80s farmer Fan Qinghua said with a smile:" in the big supermarket in the city, the iron bar yam in Wenxian County can sell for 10 or 20 yuan a jin. Your media appeal that if someone takes the lead in pulling it out with a cart to sell, it will earn more. "
