Today, farmers love short-term crops. Because these plants do not require too sophisticated care techniques but give high harvest yields. Therefore, many people have asked the question: “Which are the top 5 high-yielding short-term crops that bring economic efficiency? Can those types of crops be intercropped?”. All will be answered by Duc Binh Microbial Products in the article.
Top 5 high-yielding short-term crops
In fact, there are many crops with short harvest times. But not all plants can be easy to care for and bring high yields. Making farmers extremely confused and worried about what kind of plants they should invest in and grow that are truly suitable for our country’s current weather. Understanding that psychology, below we have compiled Top 5 super profitable short-term crops with high income .
1. Sweet corn – a very profitable short-term crop
Sweet corn is also known in many regions as sticky corn. As you all know, corn can be used to prepare countless delicious dishes such as stews and soups, which are definitely indispensable. In addition, boiled corn or grilled corn are also favorite snacks of many people. But did you know that this is one of the short-term crops that brings high productivity to farmers?

The average harvest time of sweet corn is 70-85 days from the time of planting. It takes less than 3 months for people to be able to harvest. People just need to pay attention to fertilizing at the right time and they can harvest 6-7 quintals of corn in one acre of field. The current wholesale price is about 4,000 VND per kilo.
Therefore, try to calculate that if you grow corn on 1 hectare of land and plant 2-3 crops per year, after deducting all costs, you will still make a profit of about 120 million VND. Moreover, if the corn is of good quality, companies will come to the place to buy it for production and processing, so you don’t need to think about the output anymore. Besides, you can also sell corn stalks to cattle breeders for about 400,000 per sao.

2. Papaya tree
The papaya tree is probably too familiar and popular in all parts of our country. This is a fruit that contains a lot of nutrients that are good for everyone’s health such as vitamin A and vitamin C. On Tet holiday, papaya is definitely indispensable on every family’s five-fruit tray. Because this fruit means bringing a prosperous, full, and prosperous life.

That’s why we want to introduce to people this papaya tree as one of the most profitable short-term crops. Especially this tree produces fruit all year round. After about 7 months of planting, the tree begins to produce the first green fruit, and it takes about 9 months to harvest. A papaya tree can yield about 80kg in a year. With a profit of about 200 million per hectare per year.
People should plant in places with moist, loose soil so the plant can grow best. But note that the soil should only be moist, too much water can easily cause foot rot. In addition, to avoid premature barrenness, you should avoid chemical fertilizers.
3. Peanut Plant
You already know that peanuts can be processed into many products: peanut candy, peanut oil, butter, and milk are always popular with consumers. Not only in the country but in foreign markets is also very popular. Therefore, peanuts are easy-to-grow short-term crops that bring high value to export agricultural products.
As a short-term crop with high income, peanuts are not picky about soil and are suitable for growing on many types of soil. However, the tree is only able to withstand drought at a certain stage, most favorable in the temperature range of 24-33 degrees Celsius. In addition, peanuts are also plants that help improve soil because the roots can fix nitrogen. After planting crops, the soil becomes infertile, no longer fertile, and is often intercropped with one crop of peanuts.
Growing short-term crops – peanuts are a suitable crop
Harvest time for peanuts is 120 – 135 days from planting. The productivity of peanut trees also depends on the care process, with an average yield of 25 – 35 tons/ha. Besides, the L02 peanut variety can achieve much higher yields than the remaining varieties, from 30 – 50 tons/ha.
Regarding market prices, although agricultural products always fluctuate, peanut prices are always stable at 12,000 – 15,000 VND/kg. Therefore, when growing peanuts, farmers can rest assured about price instability.
4. Strawberry Tree
Speaking ofhighly profitable short-term crops, strawberries are indispensable. Because this is a plant that contains many vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, the tree has been loved by consumers. Strawberry trees are suitable for temperate weather, so they grow best in cool climates all year round such as Da Lat and the mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam.
Strawberries are fruit trees that are short-term, highly economical and effective, growing on loose, fertile soil with lots of organic matter. Therefore, when growing strawberries, it is necessary to treat and improve the soil first by adding straw, ash, and rice husks.

In addition, humidity and light are the deciding factors in strawberry productivity. If farmers take care and cultivate well, strawberry output can reach 25 tons/year. With such a harvest, growers can earn 2 billion VND/year with a selling price of 250,000/kg.
5. Sugarcane
Even though there are times when sugar prices decrease, sugarcane is still a short-term industrial crop that brings many economic benefits, suitable for growing in many places in Vietnam. Because sugarcane is a plant that produces water with a sweet, cool taste that helps clear heat, and contains many essential amino acids and nutrients to supplement nutrients for the body.

Currently, sugarcane is grown from cuttings, living well on many different types of soil. The average yield is 65 tons/ha, one crop can be grown every year. With the current sugarcane price of 900 VND/kg, the yearly income can reach 117 million VND/ha minus costs and profit can be 60 million VND/ha. The special thing is that sugarcane only needs to be planted once can be harvested many times, thus saving the cost of buying seeds for farmers.
6. A few notes when choosing short-term crops
To achieve high economic efficiency when growing short-term crops, in addition to choosing suitable varieties, farmers need to pay attention to equally important factors:
Prepare the soil and fertilize properly
For short-term crops, the soil needs to be plowed loose, have stable moisture and be treated for fungal diseases before planting. People can use biological products to inhibit harmful fungi and increase the amount of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, helping plants develop healthier roots.
In addition, fertilizing with a balance of organic and inorganic fertilizers helps plants absorb nutrients better, while improving soil structure. Many people have the habit of applying a lot of nitrogen fertilizer to make trees grow faster, but this can make the tree weak, susceptible to falling and attacked by pests. Instead, people should prioritize decomposed organic fertilizers combined with microbial products to both save costs and protect the environment.
Appropriate planting time for each type of plant
Each short-term crop has its own appropriate planting time. Such as:
- Sweet corn should be planted in the early spring or early fall to avoid heavy rain.
- Peanuts are suitable for the winter-spring crop.
- Strawberries are suitable for cool climates, usually at the end of the year.
When planted at the right time, plants will grow healthily, have fewer pests and diseases and yield much higher yields. In addition, farmers should regularly monitor the weather and avoid sowing during periods of heavy rain or intense sunlight to limit the risk of young plants being waterlogged or leaf burned.
Proactive output
Even though the tree has high productivity, if there is no stable output, it is still difficult for farmers to achieve the desired profit. Therefore, people should proactively explore reputable purchasing channels and cooperate with processing enterprises or clean agricultural cooperatives. In addition, people can fully take advantage of social networks such as Facebook, Zalo, TikTok to promote agricultural products they grow themselves, increase value and create their own brand.
Currently, many farming households have succeeded in building the model of “organic agriculture combined with online business”. This model not only brings stable income but also contributes to spreading the image of clean, safe and quality Vietnamese agricultural products.
