The return cycle of medicinal materials grown in rural areas is slower than that of crops. Crops are harvested once a year or twice a year, while growing medicinal materials usually takes more than a year to harvest. Therefore, except for herbal medicines, which have a short payback period, other woody medicinal materials require more than a year. In the short term, growing crops is faster than growing medicinal herbs.
Cultivation of medicinal materials requires certain skills and a good grasp of the mayor/market conditions. Let’s see what medicinal materials can make money? What are the markets for medicinal materials? You must investigate the mayor/market demand and start planting. Confirm whether the medicinal materials grown are marketable. Then growing medicinal materials will make more money than growing crops.
Is it better to grow medicinal materials or crops in rural areas? In fact, this is the product of two different concepts. To compare these two hard ones, both choose medicinal materials. Compared with the price of crops, medicinal materials have an advantage and crops cannot compare.
Farming, when the weather is good, you can earn money for a while, but when the weather is bad, sometimes you can’t even keep your capital and profits. Nowadays, many rural people see no hope because of farming, and many farmlands cannot be planted. (on the other hand).
The current living standards in rural areas are not only about food and clothing, but also adjusting to the living standards in cities. Nowadays, when all the expenses of farming, pesticides, seeds, fertilizers, and harvesting are added up, one acre of land can earn 3 to 500 won, and farmers manage it quite well.
But how much farmland does each household have in rural areas? How many acres? More than ten acres? All added up, the income from farming for a year is thousands of won, which is a month's salary for many people.
Most of the people who stay in the countryside are the elderly and children. Many young people go out to work, and the farmland at home is reserved for the elderly at home. If the old man could move, he would grow some food. If it can't be moved, the field will be planted on someone else's body, if not, it will just be dumped there. (on the other hand).
The current price of rice is 120~130 won/100 catties. To be honest, a pound of rice is only more than one yuan and you can’t buy a bottle of water. Many people are already frustrated by the price.
When planting medicinal materials, you must always understand the price trends of medicinal materials, maintain a stable planting price ratio, and do not blindly follow the trend. There are not many people growing medicinal materials in rural areas. Most of them have no experience and don’t know what to grow and how to sell the medicinal materials they grow. This is the biggest problem for farmers growing medicinal materials.
Most of the medicinal materials are grown in the fields. The herbicides in the fields cannot be used as herbicides. You can only use a hoe to weed little by little. The hoe is a kind of labor force, and the labor input is less than that of planting. There are far more crops.
It is not enough to rely on a few acres of your own for medicinal materials. The price of medicinal materials is higher than that of crops, but the fresh price is really not high when rural people get it. The planting area is too small and there is no performance in quantity.
