Hello Everyone,
I am planning to cultivate Coloured Capsicum in a land which is at 40 Kms radius from Vadodara, Gujarat, and I am trying to understand its feasibility. The land in question is high on calcium and other minerals that are favourable to growing capsicum. There are certain questions that I do not have answers to hopefully someone can guide me to these answers.
1. What is the difference in cost between a Green House and Shade Net? Which is better and how does it affect crop yields? I need unit cost in sq mt or total cost per acre.
2. What is the cost of doing drip irrigation per acre?
3. Does one need to sow seeds or saplings? What is the cost of different types of capsicum seeds and saplings? How many seeds/saplings can I plant per acre?
4. What kind of fertilizers are required for the capsicum crop? What is its cost in Kg or per acre?
5. Are there any transportation, packaging and storage costs involved? If yes, what is their cost per Kg?
6. What is the average water and electricity consumption per day per acre to irrigate this capsicum using drip irrigation?
7. Depending on a decent produce how much average yield can be expected per acre? I know this depends a lot on the type of seed, how you take care of the plants, follow all the processes strictly, etc. But an average figure here based on people's experience would be helpful.
8. What is the time taken from planting of seed to bearing of fruit to be plucked?
9. What is the frequency of the produce? what would be frequency of harvesting the crop?
10. Lastly what would be average sale price of capsicum per KG ? [approximnate figures]
Any leads and replies will be most helpful.
