  1. Short cycle: Lettuce, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, arugula, and other minor crops.
  2. Medium cycle: Indian Yam, Passion Fruit
  3. 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)

Lettuce Production Forecast for 10 Plots of Land

The total lettuce production is calculated using the following formula
Lettuce Production Variables Formula
Planting Density: 12 lettuces/m²

Bed Area: 25 m².

Number of Beds per Plot of Land: 19

Number 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= 133,237.50 USD

Passion Fruit Production Forecast for 8 Plots of Land

Passion Fruit Production Variables Formula
Area per plot of land: 629 m²

Planting spacing: 3x3 meters (9 m²/plant)

Plants per plot of land: 70

Plants in 8 plots of land: 560

Annual production per plant: 100 passion fruits

Loss Rate: 15% (0.85)

Annual production per plant with Loss Rate: 85 passion fruits

Selling price per net: $3.01 (each net contains an average of 13 passion fruits)
Annual Revenue Calculation
  • Total annual production:85 passion fruits/plant × 560 plants= 47,600 passion fruits
  • Number of nets to be produced:47,600 passion fruits ÷ 13 passion fruits/net= 3,661 nets
  • Total annual revenue:3,661 nets × 3.01 USD/net= 11,019 USD

Coconut Production for 8 Plots of Land

Coconut Production Variables Formula
Area per plot of land: 629 m²

Planting spacing: 7x7 meters (49 m²/plant)

Plants per plot of land: 12

Plants in 8 plots of land: 96

Annual production per plant: 75 coconuts

Loss Rate: 15% (0.85)

Annual production per plant with Loss Rate: 64 coconuts

Selling price per coconut: 0.79 USD
Annual Revenue Calculation
  • Total annual production:64 coconuts/plant × 96 plants= 6,144 coconuts
  • Total annual revenue:6,144 coconuts × 0.79 USD/coconut= 4,853.76 USD
