How much is the profit from raising cicadas per acre?

Golden cicada is a relatively precious insect, and its larvae are also called "cicada pupae". Golden cicada has the characteristics of high protein, high nutrition, pure natural, pollution-free, and pure green, so it is considered a high-protein green food. Golden cicada is not only a top-grade traditional medicinal food, but also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in my country. In various regions of my country, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, people have long been accustomed to eating golden cicada.

In recent years, as people pay more attention to health and market demand increases, the breeding of cicadas has become an important agricultural industry. So what is the approximate profit of one acre of cicada breeding?

First of all, you should know that the cost of raising one acre of cicadas depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, the costs include: seedling costs, site rental, feeding feed, labor costs, etc. Among them, the cost of seedlings and site rental is relatively fixed, while the cost of feeding feed and labor depends on the specific management and maintenance model. According to the current market price of cicada seedlings at 10 yuan/piece, 6,000 seedlings need to be purchased per acre of planting, and the cost is 60,000 yuan; a breeding cycle is about 3-5 months, and the site rental varies from 5,000 yuan/acre. We assume it is 5,000 yuan, and feed and labor costs are calculated separately. It can be calculated that the approximate cost of raising cicadas on one acre is 65,000 yuan.

So, what is the approximate profit of one mu of cicada farming? This depends on many factors such as the market situation and your sales channels. Taking the current market situation as an example, the price of dried cicada is about 2,000 yuan/kg, and the yield of dried cicada is about 10-20 kg per mu. We take an average value of 15 kg, so the value of dried cicada is 30,000 yuan per mu. Minus the cost of 65,000 yuan, the profit is about 15,000 yuan.

Of course, this is only a rough estimate, and the actual profit depends on the specific situation. For beginners of cicada breeding, they must first learn the growth habits and breeding management skills of cicadas, and reasonably control costs and optimize sales channels to increase profits. At the same time, as market conditions change, the price of cicadas will also fluctuate, and it is necessary to flexibly adjust business strategies.

The above is a brief introduction to the approximate profit of one acre of cicada breeding. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in engaging in cicada breeding.
