Growing vegetables in the greenhouse is risky. Why do you say that?

Growing vegetables in greenhouses is really risky. So, why do I say that the risk of growing greenhouse vegetables is really great? Because I often go to the countryside to investigate, I see some farmers fall into losses when they grow greenhouse vegetables. So, what are the reasons for their loss in planting greenhouse vegetables? In my opinion, there are two main reasons for their losses in growing greenhouse vegetables. First, the cost is too high, and second, they have encountered the problem of difficult sales.

There are two aspects to high cost. On the one hand, the rent of land has gone up. 10 years ago, the rent of rural land was only a few hundred yuan per mu, but now the rent of many rural land has risen to more than 1000 yuan per mu. The increase of land rent increases the risk of vegetable cultivation in greenhouse.

Another aspect is the increase in labor costs. 10 years ago, you hired a farmer to help you do farm work for a day, only 60 to 70 yuan. However, now that you hire a farmer to help you do farm work for one day, you have to pay at least 100 yuan. In some places, it even rose to 120 yuan. If the greenhouse vegetables are planted on a large scale, then people must be hired. If you hire 20 people, the daily salary will be 2000 yuan, which must be deducted from the net profit of selling vegetables. We can think about it, how many vegetables can we buy for 2000 yuan? Therefore, the increase of labor cost increases the risk of vegetable cultivation in greenhouse.

Vegetable cultivation is different from industrial production. Vegetable planting has a certain cycle, and it is not encouraged by pulling out seedlings. But industrial production is different, as long as there is an order, you can work overtime. My research in the countryside found that some people who used to engage in industry went to the countryside to grow greenhouse vegetables, and as a result they fell into a loss. For example, they use the industrialized method of greenhouse vegetable cultivation, ignoring the risks of greenhouse vegetable cultivation.

So, why are greenhouse vegetables difficult to sell? My answer is that vegetables are planted everywhere in greenhouses now. When you walk in the countryside, you can see many greenhouses. There are many people growing vegetables in greenhouses, and there will be an oversupply of vegetables in the market. Once the supply exceeds demand in the market, some farmers who grow vegetables in greenhouses will encounter the problem of difficult sales.
