Want to understand the realistic setup cost for blueberry and where to source genuine plants.

Blueberry has a high setup cost compared to common fruits because, besides the plants, you usually have to create and maintain acidic growing conditions, often using pots or grow bags with special media, drip with acidified water or fertigation, and sometimes protected structures. Tissue culture or imported variety plants are costly and may be limited in availability, so source only from genuine, accredited nurseries and confirm the variety and its chilling requirement. Avoid unknown sellers promising guaranteed returns. Per-plant and total per-acre costs vary widely with the system you choose, so build a careful budget rather than relying on one figure. Verify current plant prices, reliable nursery sources and the recommended system for your area with your KVK and experienced growers before committing money.
The plants alone were expensive for me, but the bigger cost was the media and the setup to keep the soil acidic. Budget far more than just the plant price.
