Not sure what to go with here.

Here are the choices.

Zuchini / $500 profit per year.

Potatoes / $460 profit per year.

Opium / $500,000,000 profit per year.

Nectarines / $720 profit per year.

Peppers / $430 profit per year.

There is an acre of ag land that just opened up, good soil

Depends on your jurisdiction.

I don't think that your figures on opium are correct. An average farmer in Afghanistan makes a profit of around $1,000 to $2,000 per hectare (2.47 acres). And there is always the risk of your crop getting confiscated by the authorities.

And lattitude...

A plant...



You forget that the reward is proportionnate to the risks, a premiums follow it, meaning they rise and fall according to local risks. And to be honnest what's the rate of zuchinis there? Authority? LoL, they kill them. Ieds, roadside bombs, entire family... watch the sinaloa show on rt. Little traffic cop on power trip against the wrong driver, death squad arrives, wipe the cop, leave.

You lack to understand that the cost of violence is included in the reward.

Maybe this image will help you. The market is like a caterpillar, it can grow in a nice and kind butterfly or morph to a locust.

Anyway for the people holding the state as god, the awakening will be brutal.

The spice trade is a testament to the free will of men against the oppressives forces.

OK... apart from opium, the most profitable crop might be tomatoes or salad greens. Some people claim that heirloom tomato varieties bring as much as $600,000 per acre.

Another cash crop...

You have to put in the factor of your labor. While you don't pay yourself to do this, the time you spend taking care of your crops is a time you could be spending making money some other way. Therefore besides the opium(reason is I don't exactly know if it's legal where you are) from the other options I think potatoes are the best.

They need little care, you plant them easily, then they're underground and you don't have to worry about a hailstorm for example the way you would if you plant say nectarines. Potatoes are survivors, you might have to water them sometimes if there's a drought, but all in all you just bury them and come back a few months later to collect.

Bonus is they are a long lasting product and you don't have to worry about them going bad one week after you took them out of the ground.

Good points! Thanks for sharing!

This one is crocus, right? This is the plant from which the spice saffron is derived. Kashmir is well known for the cultivation of crocus. Returns will be very high, as saffron is widely regarded as the most expensive spice in the world.

True, but i have no idea of the $yield/acre... it's only the orange part that has value. 3-4 pieces by flower...

Then coca, tea and cannabis. Yep, tea... if you can make the highest quality, price follow fast.

If you are talking about what kind of crops you are going to plant there are many things to consider. First you must check where are you planting, what is the elevation, the temperature, what kind of soil do you have. After checking those things you must check the soil and climate suitability of the plants that you mentioned. If the plants that you mentioned are compatible with your location then you can plant. But before planting make sure to check also the market, if it is in demand then you should plant it.

It differs from the Crocus snowdrops? Outwardly look the same. How do you distinguish them? Now it is very promising to grow oil crops. As all countries are reducing the use of oil will increase demand for biofuels.

Ah the Chinese, enterprising as always. Many of the meth made in my country are made by Chinese nationals. Rather than the police spending 2 hours taking all the plants, they should have made him pull out his crops. That would have been the sweetest way of saying "look mofo, you fucked up real bad".

Anyway, nectarines are peaches, right? That would take years for them to bear fruit...


I doubt one acre is enough to earn from tea, considering many countries grow them better and cheaper. Has anyone considered dye plants for natural dye in "organic" fabrics hipsters love? Would indigo grow there? Although I suppose indigo can also be just imported. Maybe dye the fabrics right then and there for the authentic "old-school" quality?

Opium / $500,000,000 profit per year is not accurate, this is the the money from all circles from farmer to the user in the end. I watched some documentary about farmers that are making cocaine, they do it because only that is valuable for selling, from everything else they just have loses. In that documentary farmers reveled that they earn 200 $ for one kilogram!!! And that is a clean stone, they cut it many times until it gets to the end so 1 kg become 5 kg or more, and price grows more then 100 times. I also think that farmers in the Afghanistan don`t earn this much, they risk a lot but in the end others earn much.
I think you should add weed on this list,(depends in which country you live in) you can grow it inside, outside, if you get permits from government you can export it, make oils from it.

If you live in the US then move to a cannabis friendly state and get a license. With one acre you could probably grow a million dollars worth. Of course you will need a very large wall around the place.

Tea is OK... but what about coca and cannabis? Both these products are banned in most of the countries. Even in the few countries where the cultivation of coca is legal, it is not allowed to produce cocaine from it. And without the latter byproduct, the profits will be very low. And coming to tea... it is a very labor intensive plant. From where you will source the cheap labor?

I've read somewhere about some kind of fast growing trees that are ready to sell for wood in like two, three years and regrow like three times. People claim that they are making money even planting few of them in their gardens or backyards. There are some companies selling the seedlings and they are willing to guarantee that they will buy these trees from you after growth. It seems like a new type of thing. I've read some posts and article of professional people with their own lands willing to give it a try on bigger scale but I guess it will take few years for anyone to be able to say if it's really a legit and profitable way.

DON'T EAT ONE UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH :)
BUT PEOPLE DO BUY EM

In the U.S., what is available is pills like oxys that give a very poor quality high, and heroin, if you like opiates. In other words those products are very poor quality, but extremely expensive.

People are dying left and right from these toxic lab opiates, other synthetics etc.

And the prices of these drugs, in dollars, is very high. Yesterday two separate drug counselors od's separately and died at the same rehab. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/05/25/drug-counselors-overdose-die-pennsylvania-addiction-facility/344982001/

With natural opium, if you sell a comparable amount, at a comparable price, $500,000,000 for an acre might be not so much exageration.

Especially if you add the selling point "Natural opium smoking is not fatal". If the U.S. legalized opium there would be less use by kids because they would learn facts not fictions, less deaths because you don't die from smoking opium, plus, if being an addict is your trip, opium is a better high than the manufactured opiates.

Next step is to convince the drug companies that the switch to legal opium is good

https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/overdose.html
In 2014, almost 2 million Americans abused or were dependent on prescription opioids.
As many as 1 in 4 people who receive prescription opioids long term for noncancer pain in primary care settings struggles with addiction.7
Every day, over 1,000 people are treated in emergency departments for misusing prescription opioids.

http://naturalnews.com/2017-01-31-pharma-company-raised-the-price-of-opioid-overdose-antidote-six-fold-to-profit-from-epidemic.html

^^^^ Now I need to ask what is the difference between prescription drugs such as Oxycodone, and banned substances such as Methamphetamine? The first group seems to be causing much more harm in the United States, when compared to the second group. The pharma cartels are profiting from the prescription drugs, while the drug cartels are profiting from the banned soft/hard drugs.

Amphetamines are not banned in and of themselves. Adderall is a pharmaceutical amphetamine given to many children in the U.S.

So I guess the short answer is that in the U.S. it is acceptable, i.e., common legal practice, to give amphetamines to children, by prescription, and opiates to older people, by prescription, but when younger people use opiates or older people use amphetamines it is illegal.

Garlic. The payoff on growing garlic can be big for those who grow “gourmet” garlic. There are 3 types of gourmet garlic, also called hardneck garlic. They are Rocambole, Purplestripe and Porcelain, and once you have experienced their superior flavor, you’ll never want to go back to ordinary garlic again. That’s why customers are willing to pay high prices – as much as $10 a pound – to get their favorite varieties. Another grower and customer favorite is Elephant garlic, whose large, mild cloves bring $6-$8 per pound. In good soil, an acre of Elephant garlic can yield 15,000 pounds. It is very hard to lose a crop of garlic crop, as it tolerates a wide range of soil and weather conditions. That’s why some growers  call garlic the “mortgage lifter.”

Even the most enthusiastic garlic eater can only eat a few dollars worth of garlic a week. Opium is winning.

I would plant tomatoes. They fetch a decent price at the market and are easy to tend to.

Probably the best is hemp. Grows anywhere in almost any climate. Can be converted into anything from rope to medicine to clothing to fuel, and a lot more.

If everyone grew backyard hemp, they could manufacture anything they needed at home, and industry would shut down, and the wealthy would lose control. That is the reason why they make marijuana illegal.

8)

Industrial hemp does not contain cannabis. It is not suitable for the production of marijuana. If you grow another variety that you may face imprisonment. In all other respects I agree with you it is a very profitable plant.

Hemp is a very adaptable crop and it is quite profitable. But is it more profitable than salad greens and saffron? I really doubt that. Also, the area under cultivation for hemp is declining everyday.

Marijuana hemp makes good hemp products, just like other hemp.

If hemp production is becoming less, it's because Government and big business are opposing it, usually by law, not because hemp is impractical as a product.

8)

If hemp cultivation is actually profitable, then why can't the big businesses get involved? After all, they are after profits only. What about hemp cultivation on an industrial scale?

Beetroot is the way to go. It colors a nice purplish to reddish color and even contains adipic acid which is used industrially. Apart from these things, beetroot is edible and nutritious, plus quite hardy too.

I think and believe that the coca plant should be on the list despite the fact that its used to make cocaine and thats illegal and even Marijuana as well, the price of weed is getting higher and higher by the day.

This is only a glimpse of the history lesson...


Research I.G. Farben. You will find that when America bombed Frankfurt at the end of WW2, the I.G. Farben buildings were spared. The excuse was that we needed a place to set up "office" for the dividing of conquered Germany. My uncle was in what would become the CIA, and he confirmed this to me, personally, even though there were things he could not talk about because of Government secrecy.

There were I.G. Farben trials. But the chemical monstrosity that Farben was, was adapted to and adopted into the American Government. Farben moved to America. This happened well before the end of the war, as shown by the Farben buildings being selected to not be bombed. The pharmaceutical houses of today are the descendants of I.G. Farben.

That is the excuse for the war on marijuana and cocaine. Both of these drugs, if properly administered, essentially destroy all disease. There would be no way for Big Pharma to make money off the populace if the people were not sick. Big Pharma essentially moved from Germany to America in WW2. But that isn't all.



In other words, aside from Big Pharma, the oil industry emerged as a going thing, replacing all kinds of products - including articles of clothing - with various plastics. The removal of hemp from the market helped insure that the oil industry would grow to gigantic size.

I'm sure that if you research it with your thinking cap on, you will be able to find all kinds of other reasons for the suppression of hemp.

8)

The cultivation of coca may be legal in certain countries such as Peru and Bolivia, but the conversion of coca to cocaine is a criminal offense anywhere in the world. If you do that, then be prepared to spend the rest of your life behind the bars.

thats saffron  ;D the most expensive spice in the world . Basically is a specie of crocus . This is very hard to harvest, i mean you will need a lot of patience to gather every flower.
http://68.media.tumblr.com/99d8727f73b6bbfa6dbc225427a53f7c/tumblr_inline_my13nzxQt11s6wr6n.jpg
1 gram of saffron spice is more expensive than 1 gram of gold. Before selling it the companies are keeping this spice in vault. Also on market , usualy a security camera is focusing on this product on shelves so no one can steal it without getting caught.

You could also plant sea buckthorn (seaberry) or some other berries such as blueberries. The berries are very wanted because  contains antioxidants which are very healthy for everybody. And you wont have to be stressed out for cultivating something illegal.
For berries usually you will need to wait about 2-3 years to harvest.
Seaberry is a easy plant to grow and requires very little care. Once established, it is drought-tolerant with few pest issues and virtually no fertility needs.Seaberry is dioecious, requiring both male and female plants.
Seaberry is tasty and versatile. Food items include juice, sauces, jams, wine, tea, candy, ice cream and sorbet. Its tart, citrus-like flavor complements other foods, and it is a nutritional powerhouse rich in vitamins A, C, E and K. It also contains both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and minerals. The leaves and tender branches of seaberry are a source of protein and other nutrients for wildlife and domestic animals. It’s being investigated for its ability to reduce the incidence of cancer and also for halting or reversing the growth of cancers. The juice is a component of many vitamin-rich cosmetic preparations used to reverse the effects of aging. Seaberry juice and its oils are said to heal burns, eczema and radiation injury. Also, a yellow dye is extracted from the skins of the fruit.

The greatest challenge and expense will be harvesting because of the lack of an abscission layer of cells. China had more than 200 processing plants for seaberry as of 2006 and will probably continue to dominate the international market. Carandale Farms recognizes that demand for locally grown products could make seaberry a lucrative fruit crop for commercial growers in spite of its harvesting challenges. Seaberry could be a great addition to provide diversity and share symbiotic relationships in a mixed commercial planting.
http://uncommonfruit.cias.wisc.edu/seaberry-sea-buckthorn/
3 tons of fresh berries can be collected on every acre of sea buckthorn forest according to http://www.itmonline.org/arts/seabuckthorn.htm or to http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/seabuckthorn.htm
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_sYc9hH-8eY/Ux4LkDEY2tI/AAAAAAAAAVA/fK0TwPiQaDE/s1600/seabuckthorn.jpg
If 1 kilo of fresh seaberry is $35 then from 3000kg you will earn $105,000 .

One tonne of sea buckthorn berry (frozen) costs around $1,500 to $1,800. So in a acre, you can get a maximum revenue of around $5,600. And although the cultivation is not that difficult, the harvesting of the berries is very labor intensive. 

People are known to pay very dearly for their health. As far as I know, cancers are not on the decrease since I last checked the statistics. Woman are also known to spend a fortune on cosmetical products to prolong their outward appearance of youthfulness. The color yellow makes for a beautiful dye if you ask me, and given it's even completely natural, people will want it all the more in an age of overwhelming synthetics.

Colors such as yellow are sot suitable for artificial skin pigmentation. They will stand out as odd. For example, Donald Trump's natural orange colored skin has provoked a lot of reactions from the social media.

I believe those Afghan farmers are mere thralls basically working the fields for somebody else, the society of the country is and will stay feudal for the time being. Also there is whole net of distributors before opium is processed and reaches its customers - primarily in rich west.

From the point of Afghan opium is still quite profitable, but he sees only very small part of the overall riches.

see if people didn't have the completely wrong idea about GMO, we'd be having a pepper that grows like a bannanas, a bunch of them on one stem, and then every plant would require a lot less space to produce as much as they would before.


Well opium is used as a drug so no wonder it's profitable for them or anyone else who's doing that.

Remember the chicken that Monsanto developed for KFC. It had 14 drumsticks and 6 wings but nobody could catch them

So they partnered with Bush's baked beans to make a slower hybrid with only 6 legs

Plant a 20 dollar bill and you get money trees..
I am still waiting for mine to grow  ;D    been 20 years though and still no tree..
Might have to plant another one i must be watering it wrong..

Plant as many homes as you can and rent them out..
plant a paint ball club.

but with one acre it be very hard to compete with someone with 1000s of acres with plants..

So if i was you i would think about something else horse stables even..
you don't own enough to compete with the big boy CROPS..

I am not surprised. The vast majority of the American scientists still claim that GM food is harmless for the human body. But after looking at those gross images of GM chicken, I am having doubts in my mind..... BTW... I wanted to boycott KFC, but my 4-year old daughter loves the food from there.

Yezzir.


Pooooooooooooooooooooooooot. Then tea. Stepping off your list, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs, along with wasabi and ginseng. The past two are difficult and might require a specific biome.

But seriously, pot is 3k a pound wholesale ATM, in saturated markets. Saffron, by comparison, is median 2.5k, and the labor and space would eliminate a great deal of that profit.

Don't forget greenhouses, they might be a cool option and extend your planting choices, as well as your season.
