1. What are the costs and profits of cicada pupa breeding?

About 5,000 yuan.

The cost of raising cicada pupae is about 1,700 yuan, and the profit per mu is about 5,000 yuan.

The initial investment in raising cicada pupae is mainly seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rent, labor costs, etc. The cost per mu of land is about 1,700 yuan. The specific amount depends mainly on the local operation situation and the scale of planting per mu.

Sold individually, the price is about 50 cents per piece. The average price of a pound of cicadas is 50-60 yuan. Good ones can also reach 70-80 yuan. After deducting the required costs, the total profit of one acre of land is 7,000-10,000 yuan. In other words, if the yield per acre is more than 100 kilograms, the profit per acre can reach about 5,000 yuan. If high-density breeding is adopted, the yield per acre can reach several hundred kilograms, and the profit per acre can reach tens of thousands.

2. How much can you earn from raising cicada pupae per acre?

Under normal circumstances, the yield of one mu of cicada pupae is 100-300 kilograms. Cicada pupae have high nutritional value and are a high-protein, low-fat delicacy. They taste very good as food and are widely loved by the public. In addition, golden cicadas and cicada shells can be used as medicine. They are rich in amino acids and trace elements required by the human body and are also a good choice for medicinal food. In recent years, the demand for cicada pupae has gradually increased, and the price has been rising. The net profit per mu is about 13,500 yuan.

3. What is the profit of raising grasshoppers per acre per year?

The cost of breeding grasshoppers is low, and you can choose the amount according to your own conditions. Calculation of breeding income: If calculated based on a small tree about two years old: 500 egg-laying strips can be placed per mu of forest land, and each egg branch contains more than 100 cicada eggs. If the hatching rate is 80%, each strip can hatch more than 80 small cicada ants, and each mu of forest land can harvest more than 300 catties of golden cicadas (about 110 golden cicadas per catty). Even if calculated at 20 yuan per catty, each mu of forest land can also earn about 6,000 yuan. For adult trees, 1,000-1,500 strips can be placed per mu of forest land, and the income will double accordingly. It can be planted and raised from April to July every year, with May to June being the best. Wild and artificially bred golden cicadas grow underground for 2-3 years. Cultivation method: For saplings of about two years old, dig trenches 50 cm away from the trees. For mature trees over three years old, dig trenches 1-1.5 meters away from the trees. The trenches are 30 cm deep and 20 cm wide, but do not clean the bottom (the actual trench depth is about 20 cm). Lay the branches one by one or 2-3 branches side by side in the trenches, and then fill the trenches with soil, which can be slightly higher than the ground level, but no compaction is required. Wait for two years before harvesting.
