1 hectare ≈ 2.47 acres
Estimated gross farm-gate revenue for 1 ha of herbs (basil, mint, tarragon)
$25,000 – $62,500
Based on a yield of 10–25 tonnes at an average farm-gate price of $3/kg. Midpoint: $43,750.
Selling direct on GeraFarm (illustrative)
$61,250 – $70,000
GeraFarm growers who sell direct to verified buyers typically earn 40–60% more than through traditional middlemen. This range applies that uplift to the midpoint figure — your actual result depends on variety, season, quality grade and buyer demand.
Estimates are for guidance only and exclude input, labour, logistics and post-harvest costs. Yield and price figures come from GeraFarm's crop dataset and represent typical open-field ranges, not a forecast for any specific farm or season.
Revenue per hectare: 30 crops compared
Gross farm-gate revenue per hectare, ranked highest first. Figures are yield range × average price per kg from GeraFarm's crop dataset. They exclude growing and logistics costs.

Crop profit calculator FAQ
- How does the crop profit calculator work?
- Choose a crop and your land area in hectares. The calculator multiplies the crop’s typical open-field yield range (in tonnes per hectare) by its average farm-gate price per kilogram to estimate gross revenue. All yield and price figures come from GeraFarm’s crop dataset, so the numbers reflect real, typical ranges rather than a forecast for any single farm.
- What is the most profitable crop per hectare?
- In GeraFarm’s dataset, herbs (basil, mint, tarragon) shows one of the highest gross revenues per hectare at roughly $25,000–$62,500 per hectare, based on a yield of 10–25 tonnes at $3/kg. Profitability also depends on input costs, labour, season and local demand — use the table below to compare crops side by side.
- Does the estimate include my costs?
- No. The figures show gross farm-gate revenue — they do not subtract seed, fertiliser, labour, irrigation, logistics or post-harvest losses. Treat the result as the revenue ceiling before costs, then subtract your own expenses to estimate net profit.
- Why is the "selling direct" figure higher?
- GeraFarm growers who sell direct to verified buyers typically earn 40–60% more than through traditional middlemen, because there are no layers of markup between the farm and the buyer. The illustrative direct-sale range applies that uplift to the midpoint estimate — it is a typical pattern, not a guarantee.
- How accurate are the yield and price numbers?
- Yields are typical open-field ranges and prices are average farm-gate values from GeraFarm’s crop dataset. Real results vary with variety, soil, irrigation, climate, disease pressure and market timing. Greenhouse and intensive systems can exceed the open-field ranges shown here.
