Field size of 30×10m²:
Production Plan for Tomatoes.
1. Estimated Yield:
- Field Size: 30×10m² = 300m²
- Estimated Yield per Square Meter: Approximately 20 kg/m² - Total Estimated Yield: 300m² * 20 kg/m² = 6,000 kg
2. Price per Tray for Tomatoes:
- Price per kg of Tomatoes: R10/kg
- Price per Tray (12 kg): 10 ZAR/kg * 12 kg = R120 /tray
3. Income per Field:
- Income per kg: R10/kg - Total Income per Field: 6,000 kg * R10/kg = R60,000
4. Total Income: - Total Income per Field: R60,000
5. Direct Costs: - Land Preparation: R5 000 - Seedlings/Seeds: R7 000 - Irrigation System Installation: R8 000 - Fertilizers: R4 000 - Pesticides and Fungicides: R3 000 - Labor (Including Planting, Maintenance, Harvesting): R15,000 - Equipment Rental: R2 000 - Miscellaneous Expenses: R3 000 Total Direct Costs: R47 000
6. Gross Margins & Total Margins:
- Gross Margin: Total Income - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) - Gross Margin =R 60 000 – R 47,000 ZAR = R13 000 - Total Margin: Gross Margin - Other Operating Expenses - Assuming Other Operating Expenses are R 5 000 - Total Margin = R 13 000 – R5 000 = R8 000
7. Planting and Harvesting Schedules:
Planting Schedule: - Start of the farming season: September - Planting time: Mid-September to Early October - Transplant seedlings into the field: Late October to Early November
Harvesting Schedule: - First harvest: Late December to Early January - Peak harvesting period: January to March - Last harvest: April A. Income Poor Expected Good Yield (kg/per m2) 4 800 6 000 6 700 Price (per kg): 12kg 10 10 10 Total Income 48 000 60 000 67 000
