Incomes from selling products and net income

- In an area of 0.3 ha, yields can be harvested for 1,200 kilograms (already selected to

remain 600 kilograms) and in 1 year, harvesting can be conducted for 10 times. Therefore, all
yields will be obtained accounting for 600*10 = 6,000 kgs/ha/year

- The wholesale price in front of the farm is 3.53 USD per kilo. The total income accounts
for 6,000*3.53 = 21,180 USD.
