This plant costs next to nothing and brings in up to 3,000 euros per hectare: The young rover abandoned wheat and turned to a more profitable option

The article reports on a young farmer, Darijo Sajko, who has shifted from growing wheat to cultivating com (maize), which yields significantly higher profits per hectare. Unlike traditional crops, com requires minimal investment in fertilizers and pesticides, making it more profitable. Sajko's farm currently covers 150 hectares, and his product is purchased by a well-known German company. The article highlights the economic benefits of this shift, noting that com sells at around €2.50 per kilogram compared to wheat’s €0.15 per kilogram. Sajko transitioned to this new crop three years ago after facing financial difficulties due to falling grain prices. He now plans to harvest beans for flour production and is expanding operations using European funds.
