CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can raising silkworms make money? Why are there so many people watching it? (Can raising silkworms make money? Why are so many people watching it?)

1. What is the market prospect of silkworm breeding?

There is a silk reeling factory in my hometown, Guang'an, Sichuan, and I have relatives working there. I heard from them that the factory is extremely busy.

There are several large plots of mulberry trees in my hometown, which were rented out by farmers to others to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. I don’t know how much money I have made, but at least I haven’t made any losses so far. When I was a child, my family also raised silkworms, and silkworm pupae can be used as high-value snack foods.

The profit of raising silkworms alone is estimated to be limited. It is recommended to raise chickens under the forest while raising silkworms as a hedge. After all, raising chickens can also bring in income when raising silkworms is not profitable. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

In a nutshell, whether from the perspective of the market demand for silk products or the food value of silkworm pupae, sericulture is a promising career.

Of course, investing involves risks. Only by controlling the risks can you earn some money and have a better life.

2. 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.

5. Can you make yourself rich by raising silkworms?

Now, raising silkworms is definitely not enough for ordinary families. How much can you earn in a year? If you want a net income of 10,000 yuan, you have to raise 15-20 silkworms to barely reach it. And there must be no problems. Raising silkworms is a labor-intensive industry with high labor intensity. The labor intensity of your three-month work is equivalent to the labor intensity of one silkworm. You can calculate that 15-20 silkworms are equivalent to the labor intensity of your 45-60 months of work. If the silkworms get sick during this period, it means that your 45-60 months of hard work will be in vain.

The current sericulture market is not very good, mainly because there are more high-tech substitutes now, and the demand for silk is low. With the reform and opening up, the labor and income are not proportional. A migrant worker can easily earn 10,000 yuan a year, but raising silkworms alone is not easy and it is quite hard. Therefore, sericulture is gradually shrinking. Even with the current centralized labor-saving, it can save up to 40% of labor, but it is still not proportional to the current economy.

6. 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.
