- California exported 6.3 million dollars of avocados in 1997, 2% of the state's crop (1). ● Fresh Market. 100% of the California avocado crop is fresh market. Processed avocados are. import products. ● Cost Per Acre. The total cost to produce an acre of avocados in California is typically $4,700. In. some of California's avocado production areas, water (irrigation) can account for up to two-thirds. of input costs. ● IPM.

How to Grow Your Own Avocado Tree As far as fertilizing, the recommendation for young avocado trees is 1/2 to 1 pound of actual Nitrogen per tree per year. You can spread it out over several applications as long as it totals 1/2 to 1 pound of Nitrogen. The other important nutrient for avocado trees is Zinc.

- As an example, say your production increased from 2 tons/acre last year to 4 tons per acre and your. oil yield was 45 gallons per ton last year. Last year you received 90 gallons of oil and would. naturally expect to get 180 gallons this year (4 tons x 45 gallons/ton). Your actual range of total oil yield this year, however, from 4 tons of fruit would be from 135 gallons to 198 gallons.

- The net income is calculated by subtracting appropriate costs, which in this case include the fixed and variable costs (which, remember, included labor at $8.00 per hour, materials and other farm costs). With average yields of 1/4 oz. seed per plant (about 1-1/2 lbs.per 100 plants), we can attain a modest profitability (Table B). Good yields of 1/3 oz. per plant (about 2 lbs. of seed per 100 plants) are most profitable.he current average price is $6.25 per oz., so this could provide a $1.84 per oz. profit. With yields of around 1/6 oz. per plant, the operation may become unprofitable; however, if the grower can attain a wholesale price of $8.82 per oz. or more, then the crop will break even or be profitable.

- Avocado has received a special order for 2,000 units of its product at a special price. The incremental cost is ($120 + $80 + $60) × 2,000 = $520,000.

- Typically, an orchard comprises between 60 and 80 trees per acre. Average yield may be between 500 and 2,000 nuts per tree depending on nut types, climate, fertilization, soil type and available water resources. High-density plantings can double yields. A new high-density growing method developed by Tree Plantation can double that again.

- In 2005 production was contracted at $0.45/ib for conventional, and $0.85/lb for certified organic hemp seed. A good yield is about 800-900 lbs an acre, but average yields of 500-600 lbs. are more common. .85 x 900 = $765/acre is the top end. .45 x 500 = $225/acre as the low end. According to Shaun Crew of Hemp Oil Canada and Mike Fata of Manitoba Harvest, in 2004 the average yield was 750-900 ibs of seed per acre. 45 lbs of seed are needed to produce 1 gallon of oil. 750 lb = 16.6 gallons. 900 ib = 20 gallons. The average price of hemp oil was $40/gallon in 2004. 16.6 x $40 = $664/acre. 20 x $40 = $800/acre. The production costs per acre were estimated at $200 per acre. Thus profits would average between $434-600/acre. Add to this whatever a producer can get for the hemp stalks. Yield Expectations Hemp grain yields over the years have been variable.
