CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it expensive to breed golden cicadas? (Is it expensive to breed golden cicadas? Zhihu)

1. How much investment cost is required to raise cicada monkeys on one acre of land?

700-1500 Yuan

The initial investment in raising cicada monkeys is mainly seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rent, labor costs, etc. The cost of one acre of land is about 700-1500 yuan. The specific amount depends mainly on the local operation situation and the scale of planting per acre.

2. What are the profits and costs of raising cicada monkeys?

The profit per mu is more than 10,000 yuan, calculated based on the market price of 50 yuan per catty. The total income of raising one mu of golden cicada is 15,000 yuan, and the profit return is the total income minus the cost investment, and the net profit is about 13,500 yuan. In general, the profit of raising one mu of golden cicada is very hot, and the profit margin is still huge. Golden cicada is a wild insect. As its nutritional value and medicinal value are further developed, the market demand for golden cicada is also increasing.

3. How long does it take to see profits from artificially breeding cicadas?

The cost of raising cicadas: excluding labor costs, one mu of land costs about 1,200 yuan. The profit of raising cicadas: after 5 years, the income is about 8,000 yuan per mu, the cost is about 1,200 yuan per mu, and the gross income is about 6,800 yuan per mu. The time of raising cicadas: from the planting of cicada seedlings to the harvest, it takes about 3 years. One mu of land can harvest about 150 kilograms of cicadas, and if high-density breeding is used, it can reach about 300 kilograms.

4. How much does it cost to raise cicadas on one acre of land?

It costs about 2,000 yuan to raise cicadas on one acre of land, which involves seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rental, labor costs, etc.

It takes 2-3 years from planting golden cicada seedlings to harvesting them. On average, 100 trees are planted per mu, and each seedling costs 1-2 yuan. Fruit trees cost about 10 yuan. Generally, the seedling fee per mu ranges from 500 to 1000 yuan. In addition, the following costs are required:

1. Land cost

The cultivation of golden cicadas requires planting trees in the land. If you have your own land, you can save about one-third of the cost. If you don’t have land, you need to rent land to grow golden cicadas. The general rent is about 500-800 yuan.

2. Cost of egg branches

In the first year, the number of egg branches put into one acre of land is about 1,500, and the price of each white branch is 1-3 cents, and the hatched hatched branch is 3-8 cents. The specific placement depends on the planting density of the tree. In the first year, the root system of the small tree is not very developed, and 5 egg branches are enough for each tree. For the two or three-year-old tree, 10-20 egg branches are enough.

The initial investment in growing cicadas is mainly seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rent, labor costs, etc. The specific amount depends mainly on the local operation conditions and planting density. Under conventional breeding conditions, the yield of cicadas is usually about 150 catties per mu. If high-density breeding is carried out, the yield per mu can usually reach about 300 catties.

In addition, choose apple trees, pear trees, poplar trees, fast-growing ash trees, elm trees, willow trees, peach trees, paulownia trees and other fast-growing, luxuriant branches and leaves, and well-developed root systems as breeding tree species, so as to provide sufficient nutrient juice for the nymphs and promote their rapid growth. In addition, you can also intercrop some sweet potatoes, soybeans, asparagus, yam and other root plants under the trees to provide nutrient juice for the nymphs in time.

Generally speaking, the monthly income of one million yuan from growing cicadas under the forest is not the same every year, because the market situation is changing, and it usually takes several years for cicadas under the forest to emerge, and they cannot be harvested in the same year they are planted. It costs about 2,000 yuan to grow cicadas on one acre of land, including seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rent, labor costs, etc.
