Fruit Crop Startup Costs and Outlook In State
The Agriculture and Industries Department answers questions on fruit culture capital, noting results depend on effort and capital. With £500 a novice can start, but larger sums speed improvements. well-planned orchards may return £650 per acre when bearing and some orchards reach £80 per acre. Five acres yield £1000 annually with wood and cultivation, but fruit trees pay after several years. citrus land near streams commands higher value, while poorer land costs rise with improvements. A five year old orchard, with buildings, may be worth £75 per acre plus costs. one year to four year age values rise from £50 to £55 per acre as trees mature. yields increase yearly and vines repay in the third year.

Coastal and inland areas varied, but overall totals remained under typical expectations for the month. Data tables from Kimberley to South Coastal show widespread shortfalls, with several sites recording hundreds of points below the norm.
