What yield and running cost should I expect from a polyhouse capsicum crop?

Coloured capsicum in a well managed polyhouse typically yields in the range of about 8 to 12 kg per sq m over a long crop of 8 to 10 months, though new growers often get less in the first cycle while learning. Running cost includes planting material, drip nutrients and fertigation, plant protection, electricity for pumps, and labour, and that can run into a meaningful monthly outgo, often a few thousand rupees per 100 sq m per month depending on inputs and wages. Labour is the biggest hidden cost because pruning, trellising and harvesting are continuous. Whether you make money depends on price realisation per kg, which varies a lot by season and market. Treat any single yield or income figure you see online with caution, since many are best case demonstrations. Build your own budget with local input and labour rates and verify expected yield with a nearby grower or the KVK.
