CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How profitable is grasshopper farming?

1. 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.

2. What is the net profit of one acre of grasshopper greenhouse?

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.

Miscellaneous expenses: Grasshoppers have a wide range of diets, and basically they can eat anything that is grass, so the cost of feed is almost negligible. However, just in case, you still need to prepare about 300 yuan of feed, and then add water, electricity, natural enemy control and other miscellaneous expenses, which will cost about 500 yuan. Therefore, based on the above data, we can conclude that the cost of raising one acre of grasshoppers is about 3,000 yuan.

3. What is the per-acre breeding benefit of East Asian migratory locusts in Guangxi in 2021?

In 2021, the breeding efficiency of East Asian migratory locusts in Guangxi is very good, so only the cost of seedlings needs to be invested once. Under normal circumstances, about 20,000 grasshoppers can be bred per acre. The price of each grasshopper egg is about 0.1 yuan, so one acre requires about 2,000 yuan. The total output is about 560 kilograms. Now the price of grasshoppers is 20 yuan/kg, so the output value of grasshoppers is 5,600 yuan. Excluding the breeding cost, the total profit is 26,000 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 profit of one acre per year is 6,500 yuan. Locusts, commonly known as "grasshoppers", belong to the order Orthoptera, including species of Tetrigoidea, Eumastacoidea, and Locustoidea. There are more than 10,000 species in the world, and more than 1,000 species in my country. They are distributed in tropical and temperate grasslands and desert areas around the world.

6. 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.

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

Grasshoppers are profitable, and the investment is relatively small. Generally, 2,000 yuan is enough for production, and the return is stable. The breeding process requires a small area. It can be bred in an area of ​​40 square meters, which takes up less labor and can be raised by women and the elderly. Raising one acre of grasshoppers can earn about 10,000 yuan a year. In addition, the convenience of grasshopper breeding is that the source of feeding feed is extremely wide, as long as the monocotyledonous food can be used as feed.
