Investment Benefits of Camellia Camellia Planting

Based on the investment costs of large camellia planters, the current basic cost of growing camellia oleifera (calculated per mu) is roughly estimated to be

( 1) Mountain rental is 5 yuan.

(2) Mountain refining costs 20 to 40 yuan.

(3) The total cost of opening the platform, digging holes, applying base fertilizer, covering the soil, and planting is about 160 to 180 yuan.

(4) 105 seedlings, about 100 yuan.

(5) Fertilizer costs 50 to 70 yuan. The initial investment totals about 375 yuan, and the annual investment from then on until the harvest period is about 100 yuan.

After planting, Camellia oleifera will generally bloom and bear fruit in the third year of cultivation and management. It will enter the fruiting period (i.e. high yield period) in about 8 years. There will be long-term harvests in the future, and management is relatively simple. During the high-yield period, more than 1,000 kilograms of raw tea fruits can be harvested per mu per year. If more than 100 kilograms of camellia oil are produced, based on the calculation of 15 yuan per kilogram of camellia oil, the annual output value per mu will reach more than 3,000 yuan, that is, the output value of each camellia tree can reach more than 30 yuan. Moreover, tea shells and tea leaves also have comprehensive utilization value.

The economic value and ecological benefits of Camellia oleifera

1. The economic value of Camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera is a treasure all over the body. Camellia oleifera fruit can not only produce high-grade edible oil that is purely natural, green and healthy, but is also an important high-quality raw material for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics industries. Tea shells and tea bran can be used to develop products such as detergents, cosmetics, and biofertilizers to increase added value.

2. The ecological benefits of Camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera has strong adaptability and a well-developed root system. It is an ideal tree species for soil and water conservation and water conservation. Camellia oleifera tree has smooth bark, thick leathery leaves, and good fire resistance. Camellia oleifera is an evergreen broad-leaved tree species that blooms in winter. During the blooming season, the flowers are white and spread all over the mountains and plains, which has a very high ornamental value. In addition, the ornamental nature of camellia oleifera can be used to develop forestry eco-tourism projects based on seedling nursery bases, camellia oleifera garden bases, and product processing bases, which have good economic and ecological benefits.
