Yield: How many kilograms do 300 bushes yield?

Blueberries don't provide instant profit. Full returns begin 4-5 years after planting.

Average yield per mature bush:

3-5 kg ​​- normal, stable yield

6-8 kg - with good care and the right variety

Let's take a realistic, not inflated estimate:

300 bushes x 4-6 kg = 1,200-1,800 kg per season

Price and Revenue

Price varies greatly depending on region and distribution channel:

Wholesale - €2-3/kg

Retail/direct sales - €4-6/kg

Early berries are more expensive

Average mixed yield:

1,500 kg x €4 = €6,000 per season

Often-Unmentioned Costs

Blueberries - Not "Plant and Forget."

Main expenses:

Seedlings (if purchased)

Peat and acidic soil preparation

Drip irrigation

Fertilizers

Bird nets

Harvesting (manual!)

Average ongoing seasonal expenses:

20-30% of revenue

Net:

€4,000-4,800 in a good season

Is this a business or a part-time job?

300 bushes isn't an agroholding, but it's not a hobby either.

For a family, it's a good supplementary income.

When expanded to 1,000+ bushes, it's a full-fledged business.

The main advantage is the high price per kg and stable demand.

Conclusion

Blueberries are a viable, but not a quick business.
They require time, investment, and discipline. However, once they reach full yield, the same plot can generate income for 10-15 years in a row.

It's not a gold mine, but it's one of the few berries where the numbers add up.
