Short cycle: Lettuce, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, arugula, and other minor crops.Medium cycle: Indian Yam _, _Passion Fruit Long cycle: Coconut
**Total Production Formula = **(Planting Density per m²) × (Bed Area in m²) × (Number of Beds per Plot of Land) × (Number of Plots of Land) × (1 - Loss Rate)
Short Cycle Lettuce Production Forecast for 10 Plots of Land The total lettuce production is calculated using the following formula:
Planting Density: 12 lettuces/m²Bed Area: 25 m².Number of Beds per Plot of Land: 19Number of Plots of Land: Defined based on the cultivated area.Loss Rate: 15% (0.85)
Applied Example
**Lettuce per bed: **12 lettuces/m² * 25 m² = 300 lettuces/bed.
**Lettuce per plot of land: **300 lettuces/bed * 19 beds/plot of land = 5,700 lettuces/plot of land.
**Lettuce in 10 plots of land: **5,700 * 10 = 57,000 lettuces before loss adjustment.
**Applying a 15% loss: **57,000 * 0.85 = 48,450 effective lettuces.
Production Time The lettuce production cycle depends on the cultivated variety:
Loose-leaf lettuce: 30 to 45 days.Head lettuce (Iceberg, Romaine, etc.): 60 to 75 days.
With fast-growing varieties, up to 8-10 cycles per year can be achieved.
Additional Considerations
The loss rate may vary depending on crop management and climate conditions.
Factors such as soil health, irrigation, and pest control affect final production.
Keeping production records is recommended to refine future loss projections.
Selling Price Each lettuce will be sold wholesale in the range of $0.55 - $0.63 per unit.
Estimated Total Revenue per Harvest:
Minimum: 48,450 lettuces × $0.55 = $26,647.50 Maximum: 48,450 lettuces × $0.63 = $30,523.50
Annual Revenue Projection for Lettuce
Revenue per harvest: $26,647.50
Number of harvests per year: 5.
**Annual Forecast: Total annual revenue = $26,647.50 USD/harvest × 5 harvests
