1. Is there a future for silkworm breeding? Can it make money?

The clear answer is that sericulture can certainly make money. The mulberry planting and silkworm breeding industry has been passed down in my country for thousands of years, and the silk economy was once a glorious page in ancient my country. As a sustainable development industry in today's economic society, there are still many regions whose economic income depends on mulberry planting and silkworm breeding. The mulberry planting and silkworm breeding industry has many characteristics such as a long history, a wide range, large volume, and rapid economic benefits. It has also become the main source of income for farmers in many regions today.

With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous development of economy, people's living standards are also constantly improving, and more and more people will enjoy the consumption of pure natural fabrics. According to relevant information, the demand for raw silk in the international market is increasing at a rate of 2% per year, so the trade price of silkworm cocoons will become higher and higher, and the demand will continue to increase. Therefore, as a traditional and new industry in my country, the sericulture industry has a good sustainable development space and economic prospects that are worthy of recognition.

2. What is the real income of large silkworm farmers?

Spring silkworms are bred from around late April, and cocoons can be harvested after around 27 days. Late autumn silkworms are basically bred from early September, and cocoons can be harvested in early October. The main investment in silkworm breeding is mulberry leaves, which means investing in mulberry trees. A mulberry seedling costs 0.3 yuan, and 1,450 trees can be planted in one acre of land. Generally, a cycle is 7 years. The average annual investment in mulberry trees is 63 yuan/acre, and each kilogram of cocoons costs 55 yuan. One acre of mulberry trees can produce about 140 kilograms of cocoons, so one acre of land can earn more than 7,500 yuan a year. You can also plant fruit mulberry trees to raise silkworms, and then you can harvest mulberry fruits. Raising silkworms can bring in income at home, and you can get rich without leaving your hometown to work.

3. What is the profit from planting ten acres of mulberry trees and raising silkworms?

Ten acres of mulberry trees can support 30 silkworm beds, each of which can produce 100 kilograms of cocoons. Based on the market price of 30 yuan per kilogram of cocoons, the total profit can be around 90,000 yuan.

3. Profit

The income from raising one batch of silkworms is about 48,800 yuan. If six batches are raised a year, the total profit is 292,800 yuan.

The market price of Shimu is basically stable at around 30 yuan per catty. Of course, the price will vary slightly due to the distribution of production areas and market demand. But the overall fluctuation is not large. In addition, there are some processed products made of silk and silk cocoons, and the prices in the market are also different.

4. What is the annual profit of raising silkworms?

In our rural area, to raise two large silkworm beds, we need to plant 5 mu of mulberry trees. If we plant 100 mu of mulberry trees, we can raise 30 large silkworm beds, and each large silkworm bed can produce 100 jin of silk cocoons. 10 large silkworm beds can produce 1,000 jin of silkworm cocoons. If we calculate based on the current market price of silkworm cocoons at 25 yuan per jin, we can bring in an income of 25,000 yuan. This is just the income from raising one batch. In fact, we can raise 6 batches a year. According to 6 batches, the annual income is 100,000 yuan.

5. How profitable is silkworm breeding?

The net profit per mu of silkworms is 7542.49 yuan, and the price of 50 kilograms of silkworms is 2817 yuan. As the purchase price rises, the income from silkworm cocoons increases. In recent years, silkworm processing enterprises have grown rapidly, and the total output of silkworm processing and the total demand for raw silkworm cocoons have increased significantly; in order to maintain normal production, silkworm processing enterprises have to purchase raw materials even when the price of raw silkworms is high and the profit margin is small.

6. How much profit can be made from artificial silkworm breeding?

The main products of silkworm breeding and selling are cocoons and silk, because the main products purchased in the market are processed products such as silk and silk. With the rapid development of the silk industry in recent years, the demand for silk and cocoons is steadily increasing, which also promotes the market profit space of silkworms. In fact, mulberry and silkworm breeding, one acre can breed 3 silkworm beds, and each large silkworm bed can bring 100 catties of silkworm cocoons. 3 silkworm beds can produce 300 catties of silkworm cocoons. According to the current market price of silkworm cocoons of 30 yuan/jin, the first batch can bring an income of 9,000 yuan, and the net profit income after deducting the cost is 4,200 yuan, which is only the income brought by breeding one batch. More than 6 batches can be bred in a year. According to 6 batches, the annual income of planting one acre of mulberry trees is 25,200 yuan. What if I plant three or four acres? Then, the annual income is 75,600 yuan to 100,800 yuan.

Judging from the profit analysis, this income is quite high. However, planting mulberry and raising silkworms only requires more investment in the early stage. After the second year, the investment will be much less and the profit will be higher. In general, planting mulberry and raising silkworms is easy to manage, the cost is only a few thousand yuan, and the breeding efficiency is quite good. It can be said to be an agricultural project worth promoting.
