Analysis of the one-year profit and prospects of ginger (how to grow ginger outdoors to achieve high yields)

Ginger is a very special vegetable. From the perspective of seasoning, the demand for it is very small. 2-3 kilograms a year is enough for a family.

But its uses are not limited to condiments, such as pickling, pickles, dry powder, ginger juice, ginger oil, ginger wine, medicinal purposes, etc., coupled with exports, this has greatly increased its demand.

In Anqiu, Shandong, many people have become rich by growing and storing ginger. Last year, for example, the price of fresh ginger at the farm gate was 2.8-3 yuan per catty, and that was the net price, not including any costs incurred in the process of selling and packaging the ginger.

Ginger is a vegetable that is popular mainly because of its high yield. Under normal circumstances, the yield of ginger grown under plastic film is around 10,000 kilograms, while the yield of ginger grown under greenhouse can reach 15,000 kilograms, or even 20,000 kilograms.

Calculated at 2.8 yuan per catty last year, the gross income of one mu of film-mulched ginger is about 28,000 yuan, and the highest can reach 35,000 yuan. Greenhouse ginger can earn 40,000-50,000 yuan, or even 60,000 yuan.

Can you imagine how happy it would be for a rural family to earn around 30,000 yuan, or even 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, by planting one acre of ginger?

So how much does it cost to grow one acre of ginger? Let's calculate it by growing ginger covered with plastic film.

1. Every acre of ginger requires about 800 jin of ginger seeds, which costs 3 yuan per jin, totaling 2,400 yuan.

2. Ginger requires a large amount of fertilizer. Calculated at 700 kilograms per mu, it costs about 1,100 yuan.

3. The ground film costs 60 yuan, bamboo strips, watering oil, pesticides, etc. cost 500 yuan, plus 200 yuan for digging ginger ditches and cultivating ginger.

In general, this calculation comes to about 4,300 yuan . In previous years, we asked labor teams to produce ginger, and the price of ginger was 0.2 yuan per pound. If the yield per mu was 10,000 pounds, the labor fee would be 2,000 yuan . Last year was special, and no labor fertilizer fee was spent, which is a once-in-a-century event.

The cost of planting one acre of plastic film-covered ginger is about 6,300 yuan, not including the labor cost of one's own family.

Last year, the net income from planting one mu of mulch-covered ginger was generally over 20,000 yuan, or even 30,000 yuan . Planting 10 mu of ginger is basically enough for a down payment on a house in our area.

Like last year, the price of ginger was not at its highest point. In 2010, the price of ginger skyrocketed to 8.5 yuan per catty, which was really a way to get rich overnight.

In 2007, the price of ginger here dropped to 0.3-0.5 yuan per catty, and the poorly managed ginger fields were not even able to cover the labor costs.

A friend of mine planted one mu of ginger. That year, he hired a labor team to dig the ginger. After selling all the ginger, he went home and got another 50 yuan to cover the labor fee. How much do you think he lost? Is the ginger enough to cover the cost?

Big ginger is not "worth the money", its price is greatly affected by the market, and it often experiences sharp rises and falls, and "Ginger Your Army" often comes.

For example, the price of ginger rose a lot last year, resulting in a sharp increase in the ginger planting area this year, which may cause the price of fresh ginger to plummet this year.

As of today, the price of turmeric in Anqiu area is only around 2.5 yuan, which makes people who have ginger in stock cry.

Fresh ginger is bought at 3 yuan, plus labor costs, wear and tear, warehouse rental fees, etc., the cost per catty is more than 3.5 yuan. If it is sold at this time, it will lose at least 1 yuan per catty. If there are 1 million catties of ginger in stock, wouldn't a BMW turn into a motorcycle?

How to Grow Ginger for Maximum Yield

Ginger has no dormancy period and no fixed maturity period. In our country, due to the large temperature difference, whenever the temperature drops below 16℃, the ginger will stop growing, which means it has to be harvested and stored to avoid freezing and rotting.

How to prolong the growing period of ginger is one of the key measures to achieve high ginger yield.

Therefore, you can use protective facilities to increase the temperature and try to extend its reproductive time to increase yield.

For example, raising the temperature in early spring can lead to earlier sowing, and raising the temperature in autumn when the temperature is low can delay harvesting, which can greatly increase the yield of ginger.

In addition, if you want to achieve a high yield of ginger, you must pay attention to and be meticulous about routine management measures such as promoting good budding, strengthening buds, planting at a reasonable density, scientifically and reasonably arranging fertilizers and water, and doing a good job of disease and pest control. Only in this way can you achieve a high yield of the ginger you grow.

Growing ginger is not easy. No job can be successful easily. Ginger growers can earn high incomes, but to put it bluntly, a large part of it is gambling.

Because ginger growers with market interests cannot understand and study the market, while people with research capabilities rarely have market interests, so they don't grow ginger . Even if there are a small number of "researchers" with market interests, they will not guide ginger growers at all.
