Is it profitable to grow black beans? What is the yield and profit per acre?

Is growing black beans profitable?

There are currently two main ways to eat black beans, namely eating them directly and processing them into other dishes, such as making bean rice, bean porridge, etc. They are mainly sold in the southern market and have certain limitations, so you may not necessarily make money and need to be cautious in planting them.

Profits and Benefits of Black Bean Planting

If each acre of land can produce more than 300 kilograms of black beans, excluding the cost investment, only about 600 yuan can be earned in a single season. The economic benefits are not particularly high and the market prospects are not very good.

High-yield cultivation techniques for black beans

1. Select land and rotate crops

Black beans are afraid of waterlogging and prefer dryness. It is best to plant them in loose, deep-plowed areas with good drainage, and the previous crops should be mainly corn and potatoes.

2. Seed selection and sowing

Black bean seeds must be carefully selected before planting. It is best to choose seeds of uniform size, full grains and good disease resistance. Such seeds will have a higher germination rate and better yield in the later stage.

3. Sowing

The sowing time of black beans has a great relationship with the yield. It is best to sow when the soil moisture content is about 20%. The best time is April-May, and the thickness of the tillage layer should be more than 5 cm.
