What is the cost and income range for one acre of orange-flesh sweet potato?

Treat all numbers as broad ranges that depend on your soil, irrigation and the rate you get. Establishment of one acre of OFSP from vine cuttings, land prep, fertiliser, ridging and labour is usually a moderate cost compared with many vegetables because the planting material is cheap once you have a nursery. Yields commonly fall in a wide band per acre depending on variety, soil and crop length (roughly a few tonnes to higher with good management on light fertile soil). Income depends heavily on whether you sell as a plain commodity tuber or into a nutrition or health channel that pays for the orange colour. Costs and farm-gate rates vary a lot by district, so confirm local figures with your KVK and check current mandi rates before you commit acreage.
