Christmas tree cultivation as an alternative land use - possibilities and profitability

2009

Sirgmets, R., Estonian Univ. of Life Sciences, Tartu (Estonia)

Cultivation of Christmas trees is not a very common activity in Estonia at the moment. There are about 290 000 hectares of former agricultural and pasture lands, which are out of use in Estonia (Aastaraamat Mets 2007, 2008). Taking into account the knowhow from Europe, the hypothetical plantation was established and calculation of profitability was made. Profitability of Christmas tree cultivation was compared to the other alternative possibilities of land use. Achieving the output of saleable Christmas trees at least 50%, cultivation of Christmas trees is very competitive compared to other possibilities of land use, but at same time it is also the most capital-intensive.
