CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much money do you need to invest to keep a golden cicada alive? (How much money do you need to invest to keep a golden cicada alive?)

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. How much money is needed to raise cicadas on one acre of land?

Cicada breeding costs about 2,000 yuan per mu, including seedlings, cicada eggs, forest land rent, labor costs, etc. The benefit per mu is about 8,000 yuan, which is very profitable and worth investing in breeding.

3. 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.

4. How much manpower is needed to raise cicadas on 10 acres of land?

Investment budget for cicada breeding

1. Investment in seed eggs

For trees over 3 years old, 500 egg branches are needed per acre, at 1 yuan per branch. The cost for planting eggs per acre is 500 yuan, and the cost for planting eggs for 10 acres is 5,000 yuan.

2. Labor investment: The labor cost for burying egg branches is 30 yuan per mu, and 10 mu needs 300 yuan.

The harvest of golden cicadas is calculated at 0.6 yuan per kilogram. 1 mu can harvest 300 kilograms, and the extraction fee is 180 yuan. 10 mu will cost 1,800 yuan. No other investment is required. In this way, the total investment for 10 mu is 7,100 yuan. If it is your own land, there is no need to rent. If it is your own land, the rent is 300 yuan/mu. 10 mu is 3,000 yuan/mu/year, so the investment is about 15,000 yuan.

How much does it cost to raise golden cicadas per acre?

How much does it cost to raise golden cicadas per acre?

In recent years, cicada has become a top-grade food on the tables of major hotels and restaurants. Cicada has the characteristics of high protein, high nutrition, pure natural, pollution-free, pure green, etc. Cicada is not only a traditional medicinal food, but also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in my country. The "Chinese Materia Medica" records that cicada has the effects of nourishing essence and strengthening yang, relieving cough and promoting body fluid, protecting lungs and kidneys, antibacterial and lowering blood pressure, curing baldness and inhibiting cancer. The shell of cicada, also known as cicada molt, is an important pungent and cool detoxifying Chinese medicine, commonly used to treat exogenous wind-heat, hoarse cough, sore throat, tetanus, infantile epilepsy, and night crying. It is very popular with consumers, and the price has been rising year after year. Restaurants, hotels, and refrigerated food factories will come to purchase it, and the market prospects are extremely broad.

First of all, cicadas need to suck the roots of trees to grow, so they need trees. You can plant dozens of poplars or fruit trees per acre like normal trees, or you can plant hundreds of trees. The number of cicada pupae produced will be more than double, but the management needs to be more diligent than usual.

Secondly, each seedling costs 1-2 yuan, and fruit trees cost about ten yuan. If you have land, that's even better. If not, you have to rent land according to local prices. Generally, the seedling fee per mu ranges from 500 to 1000 yuan. It depends on the situation of your seedlings and forest land to determine the amount of seedlings per mu. The yield also depends on the seedlings and forest land. Generally, it is about 150 catties per mu. Now the high-density breeding can reach about 300 catties per mu, and the price range is 45-60 yuan per catty. You can sell more if you sell it yourself and less to wholesalers.

Due to the above reasons and the increase in demand, the price of cicada has risen sharply in recent years: 25 yuan per catty in 2009; 30 yuan per catty in 2010; 35 yuan per catty in 2011; 40 yuan per catty in 2012; 45 yuan per catty in 2013; 50 yuan per catty in 2014; 60 yuan per catty in 2015; 65 yuan per catty in 2016; 70 yuan per catty in 2017.

5. What are the methods and profits of breeding cicadas?

1. The cost of breeding cicadas

The investment cost of raising one acre of cicadas includes the cost of planting trees, renting soil, and seedlings. Therefore, according to relevant statistics, excluding labor, it costs about 1,700 yuan. If it is high-density breeding, it can produce about 300 kilograms of cicadas. The profit per acre excluding costs can exceed 10,000 yuan, which is quite considerable.

1. Plant trees

First of all, cicadas need to suck the roots of trees to grow up, so they can only grow if there are trees. You can plant dozens of poplars or fruit trees per acre like normal trees, or you can plant hundreds of trees. The number of cicada pupae will be more than doubled, but the management needs to be more diligent than usual. On average, if you plant 100 trees per acre, each seedling costs 1-2 yuan, and fruit trees cost about 10 yuan.

2. Renting land

If you have your own land, that's even better. If not, you have to rent land according to local prices. Generally, the seedling fee per mu ranges from 500 to 1000 yuan. The amount of seedlings per mu depends on the conditions of your seedlings and forest land. The yield also depends on the seedlings and forest land.

3. Seedlings

The average seedling cost per mu is about 700.

2. Profits from Golden Cicada Breeding

Based on the calculation of planting 100 poplar trees per mu of land at a spacing of 2 meters by 3 meters, saplings are planted in the first year, and the cost is 2 yuan per tree. In the first year, the trees are allowed to grow without placing egg strips. From the second year, egg strips are placed, 20 strips per tree, and the market price of egg strips is 0.5 yuan per strip. The investment per mu of land is: 100 trees * 20 strips * 0.5 = 1,000 yuan.

Investment in the first year: 100 trees * 2 yuan/tree = 200 yuan Return: 0

Second year investment: 1000 yuan income: 0

Investment in the third year: 0 yuan Return: 0

Investment in the fourth year: 0 yuan Income: 100 catties * 40 yuan/catties = 4,000 yuan

Investment in the fifth year: 0 yuan Return: 100 catties * 40 yuan/catties = 4,000 yuan

After 5 years, the total profit is: 8,000 yuan, the total investment is: 1,200 yuan, and the gross income is: 8,000-1,200=6,800 yuan.

3. Prospects of Golden Cicada Breeding

Golden cicada has extremely high nutritional value and unique taste. The newly unearthed nymphs contain the highest protein, making it a rare high-protein, low-fat wild delicacy. In addition to its edible value, grasshopper cicada also has extremely high medicinal value. Grasshopper cicada has a unique flavor, rich nutrition, and good medicinal and food health care effects. According to expert research by the Chinese Nutrition Society, every 100 grams of dry powder of grasshopper cicada contains 4 grams of water, 7.19 grams of fat, 71.4 grams of protein, 10.9 grams of carbohydrates, 30 milligrams of trace elements potassium, 17 milligrams of calcium, and 8 milligrams of zinc. It seems that the nutritional value of cicada is indeed very high.

In addition to its edible value, golden cicadas also have medicinal functions. When the mature nymphs of cicadas change into adults, the outer shell they shed is called cicada molt, also known as "cicada molt" or "cicada skin". Its main components include chitin and protein, and it tastes sweet, salty, and cold. It enters the lung and liver meridians and is an important pungent and cool Chinese medicine for relieving exterior symptoms. Fresh and tender cicada nymphs and adults, especially nymphs, are not only nutritious and delicious, but also have particularly high medicinal value, making them top-grade medicinal foods.

Cicadas have a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine in my country and are well known. The insects used as medicine include adults, larvae and cicada molts. The first to be used as medicine were adults, while the cicada molts are now widely used. As an important traditional ingredient, cicada molts have the functions of antibacterial, cold-dispelling, sedative and diuretic.

Modern medicine believes that cicadas and cicada shells contain a lot of chitin, which has been put on the market as anti-aging and anti-cancer drugs and health products in recent years, and the price is very expensive. Chitin also has the functions of strengthening the liver, lowering blood pressure, relieving pain, stopping bleeding, removing bacteria, improving diabetes, and improving digestion ability. It can even be used as raw materials for artificial skin and artificial ligaments. There is a great prospect for its development and utilization in the future. There is a great potential for cicada breeding, and the breeding prospects are unlimited.

Cost and benefit analysis of breeding golden cicada

Golden cicada is a high-protein, low-fat wild insect with extremely high medicinal nutritional value and unique taste. It will become an important green health food in the future and will also become a longevity food for humans in the future.

Due to environmental destruction and the felling of trees, their living environment has been severely damaged. Coupled with the indiscriminate hunting by humans, the cicada resources have been seriously depleted, the output has dropped sharply year by year, and the market gap is huge. It has become an urgent task to carry out artificial large-scale breeding.

At present, cicada breeding mainly uses the open space under the fruit trees, and a small investment can create a big business. Compared with the traditional breeding industry, it has obvious advantages such as small investment and large returns. Now, taking one person managing a 10-acre cicada farm as an example, the following benefit analysis is made (the breeding method is implemented according to our newly invented patented technology):

Artificially cultivated golden cicadas climb trees

(1) Investment. First, the investment in egg planting: generally, 2,000 egg branches are planted per mu, and the purchase price of each branch is 0.5 yuan in the off-season, so 1,000 yuan is required for 1 mu of egg planting; second, the investment in labor, 300 yuan per mu for the annual placement of egg branches and management (Golden Cicadas do not need to be fed for epidemic prevention, which saves a lot of labor); third, the land rental fee is 700 yuan per mu; fourth, the cost of planting willow seedlings is 600 yuan per mu for 300 trees. All the seeds are collected by yourself during the harvest season, and no other investment is required. In total, 2,600 yuan is invested per mu.

High-density willow cicada forest

In this way, the total investment for 10 mu of land in the first year is 26,000 yuan (Note: if it is your own land, you can save 700 yuan in rent). In the second year, you need to invest 20,000 yuan plus the 26,000 yuan in the first year, a total of 46,000 yuan; in the third year, you need to invest another 20,000 yuan plus the investment in the first and second years, a total of 66,000 yuan (Note: After the second year, no investment is required for tree seeds, only egg seeds, land rent and labor costs).

(2) Profits. According to our new patented technology, the survival rate of young cicadas can reach 40%-60%, 20% will emerge in the second year, and more than 95% will emerge in the third year. Each egg branch contains an average of more than 100 cicada eggs. The survival rate is calculated as the lowest 40% (the survival rate in nature is 10%-15%). Each branch can produce 40 cicadas, and 2,000 egg branches can produce more than 80,000 cicadas (even if your technology is not so good, you can still produce about 60,000 cicadas).

The eggs are placed under the tree and hatched naturally

In 2017, the price of each golden cicada in our market was 0.6 yuan, so the income per mu was 48,000 yuan, and the income of 10 mu was more than 480,000 yuan (those with poor technology could earn more than 350,000 yuan). After deducting the three-year investment of 66,000 yuan, the net income was about 410,000 yuan, and the input-output ratio was more than 1:6 times. After three years, if the current price remains unchanged, the annual income can be more than 400,000 yuan, and the input-output ratio is 10-20 times (those with poor technology can also earn more than 8 times).

Young cicadas dug out from under a willow tree

In the second year, 20% of the golden cicadas unearthed can generate an income of 96,000 yuan. After deducting the total investment of 46,000 yuan in the second year, the net profit is 50,000 yuan (about 30,000 yuan for those with poor technology). This means that if the golden cicadas are raised according to the new technology, the cost can be recovered and a profit can be achieved in the second year. After three years, the golden cicada farm will enter a virtuous cycle, and the farm can save seeds and save money.
