The Economic Viability of Orchard Production on Small Acreage

Journal of the ASFMRA, 2008, vol. 2008, 9

Abstract: This study explored the difference in costs of production among different size orchards in California. Costs differ with respect to pruning, pest control, harvest, equipment ownership, and land cost per acre. The results show that while 100- acre orchards are profitable, 5-acre and 20-acre orchards cannot cover land ownership costs.
