Taking raising an acre of land as an example, the cost of cultivating morels includes the following:
1.Land lease or purchase costs;
2.Infrastructure costs, such as the construction of beds or sheds;
3.Strain purchase cost;
4.Daily management and maintenance costs, such as fertilization, irrigation, pest control, etc.;
5.Labor costs.
Mr. Li, a farmer, plans to grow morels in his farmland. He leased an acre of land and spent 1,000 yuan as land rent. He chose suitable soil and environmental conditions and invested 5,000 yuan in the construction of fungus beds and fungus sheds.
It cost 2,000 yuan to buy high-quality morel mushroom cultures. Every month, he needs to do management work such as fertilization, irrigation and pest control, which is expected to cost about 500 yuan per month.
In addition, he hired two laborers to help manage and pick morels, with a monthly labor cost of about 6,000 yuan.
The plot for growing morels covers an area of 1 acre (about 667 square meters), using more advanced facilities and technologies, and can harvest 500 kilograms of dried morels in a year.
Income:500 kg of dried morels 400 yuan kg = 200,000 yuan.
Total cost: 1,000 RMB + 5,000 RMB + 2,000 RMB + 500 RMB + 6,000 RMB = 14,500 RMB.
