Ginseng tops the list as a long-term investment. This crop typically requires three to twelve years before harvest, with traditional use in medicine enhancing its value. High-quality wild-simulated ginseng can fetch staggering prices, selling for up to $800 per dry pound. With potential yields of up to 300 pounds per acre, ginseng can represent a revenue of $60,000 to $200,000 per acre over its growth cycle.
2. Goji Berries
Known for their superfood properties, goji berries are both nutritious and marketable. An acre can yield up to 7,000 pounds of goji berries, selling dried at over $20 per pound. This translates to potential revenues of approximately $140,000 per acre across three years.
