I also grow strawberries, and I can't listen to the price of strawberries falling and falling, let alone hearing others say that strawberries are not good!
You have to ask me if I can still grow strawberries, and if there is a prospect, of course I can, the future is very bright, but growing strawberries is not for everyone.
I'm here to spit out and help everyone avoid pitfalls, and honestly not everyone is suitable for growing strawberries. The following types of people are not suitable for growing strawberries.
Don't follow the trend and plant
If you blindly follow the trend, there will be a very big risk. The people who follow the trend themselves have little experience, and they don't know much about the market and strawberry planting technology, so they take it for granted that everyone else can make money, so why can't they themselves? Therefore, they are walking on the road of blindly following the trend, but blindly following the trend of planting, it is very likely that the following two situations will occur:
First, supply exceeds demand, prices fall, and profits fall.
Second, the market has been saturated, even if the price has been very low, but it will still not be sold, the formation of unsalable, resulting in losses, some time ago "Baoding strawberry feeding cows", to us a good lesson.
The author has such a friend heard that planting strawberries is very money, the first two years on the job in the factory in Kunshan, returned to the hometown to get 5 acres of land to plant strawberries, after two years of study, finally the planting technology has improved, plus last autumn climate is also good, strawberries also ushered in a good harvest, but this year's strawberry price is really a headache, the price of strawberries on the market has dropped again and again, after the New Year, the fruit agency purchase price is only seven or eight yuan, in March it is even more difficult to sell the price only 3-4 yuan, In this way, it is not profitable to remove the cost at all.
It doesn't sell at a good price
Don't come to those who can't endure hardship
If you are working in the city, because you can't endure hardship, watch others grow strawberries to make money, and think that planting strawberries is very simple to join this industry, then listen to us, or dispel this idea as soon as possible, leave this industry, more than this money-making industry, why bother to engage in this hard work facing the loess and facing the sky.
It's really hard to grow strawberries, and some berry friends laugh at themselves, and when they enter the strawberry shed, they are all tired, do you say they are tired?
Growing strawberries is very hard, and when you are busy, you have to bend over and work in the hot and humid greenhouse for more than ten hours a day, and the intensity of leaf picking and fertilizing cannot be persevered by ordinary people.
Especially in July and August, to prepare the land, to stuffy sheds, to raise seedlings, not only the labor intensity is high, the weather is also very hot, many short-term workers work for a day or two to be too hot to bear.
Some berry friends joked: Those who grow strawberries hurt everywhere except that no one hurts
You see if it's more tiring than entering the factory to make screws.
Don't come if you want to make quick money
Some bosses think that planting strawberries is fast, there are subsidies, and that farmers are so profitable to grow strawberries, is it that I can not do these farmers if I engage in enterprise management, sometimes it is true, in reality, many bosses do not believe in this evil, plunge into it, and finally want to cry without tears.
As everyone knows, the threshold for planting strawberries is low, you have too many competitors, and the cycle is long and affected by the weather, and various risks will be superimposed and amplified in this process, and it is difficult for you to turn around and adjust halfway. So if you want to make money quickly, it is not suitable to grow strawberries.
Lao Dai was originally engaged in the construction of pile foundation engineering, the real estate industry has been sluggish in the past two years, Lao Dai also heard that someone has two years of 10 acres of strawberries for Mercedes-Benz, thinking that the money is very fast, so he transferred a large piece of land, ready to show his strength, the greenhouse was built, the seedlings were planted, over time Lao Dai found that there was no "want" so simple, before the strawberry flowering part of the seedlings died, the temperature was higher last autumn, the red spider also came, finally found someone to cure, survived the dead seedlings to look forward to the flowering and fruiting, powdery mildew, Botrytis is here again, and few fruits are particularly sour, do you say that such fruits can compete with the fruits of the old Wang family that have been planted next door for more than ten years in the market? It's really Mercedes in and rushing out.

Growing strawberries is actually a special "volume" thing, you must understand both technology and sales, understand technology to grow good fruits, understand sales to sell at a good price.
Growing strawberries seems simple, but it is not simple at all, it is a hard work that needs to be done with a calm heart, which tests both skills and patience!
