is French beans worth growing, what fresh pod yield per acre and rate range
2 जवाब
French beans are picked fresh over several rounds, so a well managed crop gives a good number of quintals per acre across the season, with pole types usually out yielding bush types over a longer period. The rate is best when off season supply is short, which is why hill grown beans sent to the plains in the warm months often fetch a good price, while peak season gluts pull it down. Profit can be attractive in the right window but picking labour and transport are real costs. Check your target market rate and ask nearby growers for realistic yields and costs before planting a large area rather than assuming peak prices.
Our hill French beans get a good rate in the plains during the off season. That window is where the money is. In peak season when everyone has beans the rate is poor, so timing matters.
