Cucumbers are people's favorite vegetables. As the market demand for cucumbers increases, the planting area of cucumbers in my country is also expanding. So how much is the investment in planting cucumbers per mu? What are the planting benefits and prospects? Let’s take a look with the editor below!

1. What is the prospect of planting

Nowadays, people's demand for vegetables is increasing, especially all kinds of melon vegetables. Therefore, not only are there requirements for the yield of cucumbers, but the requirements for planting techniques are also increasing. It has also promoted the development of cucumber planting. Cucumber planting has now become an important planting project in my country. However, although the cucumber planting area is getting larger and larger, its processing export rate still has no upward trend. The production of cucumbers is mainly to meet the needs of domestic consumers, and there is no large export volume. Therefore, if it can seize the foreign cucumber market, its cultivation prospects will be better.

2. How much is invested per mu

1. Land rent: If you rent land in rural areas, the investment is relatively small, generally about 600 yuan per mu, but each area has a different price, and it depends on the actual situation.

2. Seed cost: The seed price of cucumber is very low. When planting cucumber, the planting cost per mu is about 100 yuan.

3. Fertilizers and pesticides: Cucumbers do not have a long growth period, so they have a large demand for nutrients. One mu requires about 500 yuan in fertilizers, and then about 100 yuan in pesticide inputs, which is about 600 yuan per mu.

4. Labor and other costs: The planting requires manual planting, soil preparation, weeding, pruning and harvesting. The labor management cost is about 500 yuan, plus about 200 yuan for miscellaneous expenses, totaling about 700 yuan.

Therefore, based on the above data analysis, the planting cost of one mu of land is about 2,000 yuan.

3. planting benefit analysis

The growth cycle of cucumber is relatively short, and it can be fruited many times and harvested continuously. It is usually planted in the spring of each year from February to March, and harvested around May. Under normal planting management, about 5,000 catties of cucumbers can be harvested on one mu of land, but due to adverse factors such as weather. Generally, it is only about 3,000 jin, and now the price of cucumber is about 1.5 yuan/jin. Therefore, the output value of one mu is about 4500 yuan. Then subtracting the planting cost, the planting benefit of one mu of cucumber is 2500 yuan.

The above is a simple analysis of the benefits of cucumber planting. The benefits of cucumber planting are good, but there are also certain planting risks. Therefore, when planting, you should pay attention not to plant blindly to prevent planting failure. That's it for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, not as an investment basis.
