1. Is it profitable to raise locusts?

The breeding costs mainly include seedling costs, greenhouse construction costs, labor costs, and other costs. One acre can breed about 20,000 grasshoppers, with a total cost of 3,600 yuan. Among the 20,000 grasshoppers, about 9,000 are females, with a total egg production of about 450,000, and about 400,000 can survive. Calculated at 500 per pound, a total of 800 pounds, at the market price of 20 yuan per pound, minus the cost, the net profit of one acre of land is 12,400 yuan.

2. What are the benefits of raising grasshoppers and is it profitable?

There is a saying that crabs can be eaten raw and shrimps can be eaten alive, and grasshoppers can be eaten half-cooked. Today, let’s talk about grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are a good dish whether they are fried or grilled. So how can we raise grasshoppers well?

Grasshopper breeding is indeed a good way to get rich. It does not require much investment, has a broad market, is not labor-intensive, and can be raised by men, women, and children. However, many friends have reported that there is no market for breeding locusts. So what should we do?

What to do if there is no market for farmed locusts

It is not difficult to find a market for farmed locusts. At present, many places at home and abroad have the habit of eating locusts and other insects. As people pay more attention to healthy food, the locust market will become wider and wider. Locust farming is very profitable, with low investment, low risk and high profit.

How is the sales of grasshoppers?

Raising locusts for sale, for those who don't have local buyers, some want to develop their own market, and they have the ability to do so. In fact, it is not difficult to develop the market. First of all, we need to see where the current market for locusts is mainly? At this stage, it is mainly for consumption, so of course it is in restaurants, and they are relatively high-end restaurants. Since the market has been found, we can promote it. As long as everyone has the courage to promote it, it will definitely be sold. Many places do not have the habit of eating locusts. Why don't they have the habit of eating locusts? There is a saying that if you live by the mountain, you can eat the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat the water. If there are no locusts, how can you eat it? Since locusts are eaten as a dish in many places, it shows that it is still attractive. People in other places can eat it, so people in your place can of course eat it too. The reason why it is more popular is mainly because it is relatively fresh and strange, and the taste is still good.

If there is no one in your area who is buying and you still want to raise it yourself, it is recommended that you raise a small number of fish first, build a few sheds, and then sell the products yourself. If the situation is good, you can expand the scale. If you lose money, it won't be much. If you make money, it will be very profitable, and you will be the leader in this area.

Market prospects of artificial grasshopper breeding

Artificial breeding of grasshoppers is indeed a good way to get rich. It requires little investment, has a broad market, is not labor-intensive, can be bred by men, women, young and old, and has a short cycle. It only takes 2,000 yuan to build a 15-square-meter net shed and introduce new species, and can raise 10,000 to 20,000 grasshoppers. Grasshoppers like to live in groups, and it doesn't matter if the density is high. Their main food is monocotyledonous weeds. It would be better if some corn or wheat seedlings can be planted. If conditions permit, special forage grass can also be planted, such as Mexican corn grass (5-6 crops can be harvested a year). Grasshoppers are only properly fed with some ingredients, such as bran and sorghum, during the pregnancy period. Grasshoppers are in good sales, both fresh and frozen. They are purchased by restaurants in general cities, especially in some areas of Shandong. A seafood market needs dozens of tons a year, such as Qingzhou and Binzhou. In Wudi and other places, Japanese and Australian merchants set up points for purchase all year round.

In addition to breeding and hatching, grasshopper eggs can also be sold directly as food or canned. In addition to supplying the domestic market, they are also exported to Japan, Australia and Southeast Asian countries. The annual demand is over 1,000 tons, while the total amount of grasshoppers purchased domestically is only a few dozen tons, which is far from meeting market demand. Therefore, raising grasshoppers is a good entrepreneurial project for farmers and laid-off workers.

The cost of raising grasshoppers is very low. You only need to buy eggs once. The eggs will give birth to locusts, and the locusts will give birth to eggs. This cycle will repeat endlessly. A shed can be used for many years. You can make a profit in the same year you invest. However, if grasshoppers want to achieve considerable benefits, they must master certain techniques and have a certain scale. Only a large volume can win the market. In general, artificially raised grasshoppers are different from those hyped special breeding because they have a broad market and can be sold by themselves. The technology is mature, the market is huge, and the prospects are promising.

3. What is the approximate annual income from locust breeding?

The current price of locusts is 20 yuan/kg, so based on the output value of 5,600 yuan per mu of land, minus the breeding cost of 3,000 yuan, the total profit is 2,600 yuan.

Seedling cost: Under normal circumstances, one acre can breed about 20,000 grasshoppers. The price of each grasshopper egg is about 0.1 yuan, so one acre will cost about 2,000 yuan.

Greenhouse construction cost: When breeding grasshoppers, in order to prevent the grasshoppers from escaping and harming the surrounding crops, a greenhouse must be built. The cost of the greenhouse can be controlled at around 300 yuan.

Labor costs: Since the number of breeding is relatively large, more labor costs are required in the early stage of breeding, such as feeding, water and electricity management, etc., which cost about 500 yuan.

Miscellaneous expenses: approximately RMB 500.

Therefore, based on the above data, we can conclude that the cost of raising one acre of grasshoppers is about 3,000 yuan.

4. What is the cost and profit of one acre of grasshopper farming?

The current price of grasshoppers is 20 yuan/kg, so the output value of grasshoppers is 5,600 yuan. Excluding the breeding costs, the total profit is 2,600 yuan.

Seedling cost: Grasshoppers can reproduce for many years after purchase, so you only need to invest in seedlings once. Under normal circumstances, one acre can breed about 20,000 grasshoppers, and the price of each grasshopper egg is about 0.1 yuan, so one acre costs about 2,000 yuan.

Greenhouse construction costs: When breeding grasshoppers, in order to prevent the grasshoppers from escaping and harming the surrounding crops, the construction of a greenhouse is essential. However, a grasshopper breeding greenhouse can be roughly built, and the cost can be controlled at around 300 yuan.

Labor costs: Since the number of breeding is relatively large, more labor costs are required in the early stage of breeding, such as feeding, water and electricity management, etc., which cost about 500 yuan.

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

The growth cycle of grasshoppers is very short, generally only about one month, and they can grow strong and fat in no more than two months. In addition, the breeding cost is very low, mainly based on seedlings and greenhouse investment, and these two investments do not need to be invested again, so the longer the breeding, the higher the profit. The benefit per mu is about 50,000 yuan.

6. Is it profitable to raise grasshoppers in the countryside?

Raising grasshoppers in the countryside can make money, of course this is not true for everyone. Next, I will talk about my own views on this issue.

First of all, raising grasshoppers requires a certain amount of experience, and you can't raise them blindly. So if you have a certain amount of experience and a certain scale, you can make money raising grasshoppers. After all, some restaurants now put them on the dinner table, and grasshoppers have become a delicacy for people. Naturally, sales have increased, and more and more restaurants are buying grasshoppers. So if you raise grasshoppers, you can naturally make money.

Secondly, if you want to get into the grasshopper breeding business, I don’t recommend you to raise them on a small scale, because it is difficult to make money if you raise grasshoppers on a relatively small scale. You must reach a certain scale before you have a chance to make money. Of course, this also requires certain technical support. Therefore, if you want to engage in grasshopper breeding, you still need to ask some professionals for guidance.

This is the end of the introduction to this issue. I hope everyone will have a better understanding of this issue and I hope everyone can end with this.
