CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is there a market for farmed scorpions (Is farming scorpions profitable)?

1. Is it reliable to raise scorpions?

Raising scorpions is very reliable and you don't have to worry about the market. You can make money from raising scorpions. The premise is that you must be able to raise them successfully. This is mainly because there are very few wild scorpions now, and people continue to use pesticides and fertilizers to destroy the living environment of wild scorpions.

The temperature and humidity required for artificial breeding of scorpions are extremely high, making breeding difficult.

2. I would like to know about scorpions. Are they selling well?

The main problem with scorpions is that they have a long cycle and slow effects. The current market price is about 650 per kilogram. Scorpions are traditional Chinese medicines and are in great demand. Artificial breeding mainly feeds mealworms, which are cheap and can be bred by yourself. It is recommended to investigate more.

3. What are the prospects and sales of scorpion breeding?

Good prospects, can be sold to restaurants, pharmaceutical factories and wineries

4. Where can I sell farmed scorpions?

Generally speaking, scorpions have two sales channels: one is the medicinal material market, and the other is for consumption.

What is sold in the herbal medicine market are all dried scorpions. That is, scorpions that have been processed into dried products. Here, let me emphasize, where do the scorpions used as herbal medicines come from? There are two ways. One is wild scorpions. After being caught, wild scorpions are sold to the herbal medicine market and processed into dried scorpions by herbal medicine companies; the other is scorpions that died in scorpion farms. The scorpions sold to herbal medicine companies by scorpion farms are not alive, but dead scraps. Why are the artificially bred scorpions sold to the herbal medicine market all dried scorpions? Why not sell live scorpions to the herbal medicine market? This is because for the breeding farms, dried scorpions are cheaper and live scorpions are more expensive! In other words, the price of one kilogram of dried scorpions is not as expensive as that of live scorpions. At present, one kilogram of dried scorpions is about 500-700 yuan, and one kilogram of live scorpions is about 900 yuan. Under normal circumstances, 2.5 kilograms of live scorpions are processed into one kilogram of dried scorpions. As for the current price of live scorpions, to process 2.5 kg of live scorpions into dried scorpions, not to mention the processing fee, the price of dried scorpions should be 2,250 yuan per kilogram. But when we sell dried scorpions to the medicinal material market, the best price is only 700 yuan per kilogram. Think about it, if you are a breeding farm, can you still process live scorpions into dried scorpions and sell them to the medicinal material market? Unless you are mentally ill! Someone said, I asked the medicinal material company, and they said that dried scorpions are more than 1,000 yuan per kilogram! Don't get it wrong, they said that more than 1,000 yuan per kilogram of dried scorpions is their selling price, and the dried scorpions they purchase from you are called raw materials for them, and they are called medicinal materials when they sell them! In other words, what you sell to them is raw materials, and what they sell is medicinal materials. You don't sell scorpions directly to patients, so the medicinal material company gets a huge profit. So if you are breeding scorpions, unless the scorpions that are injured or killed during the breeding process can be processed into dried scorpions, live scorpions must not be processed into dried scorpions. My farm sells less than 5 kilograms of dried scorpions a year.

5. Is it really profitable to breed scorpions?

Whether scorpion farming can make money depends on the breeding and sales of scorpions. Scorpions can be sold at stalls in morning markets or night markets, with a profit of 2 yuan per scorpion. Salt-dried scorpions can also be sold to hospital pharmacies and individual Chinese medicine clinics, with a price of about 500 yuan per catty, with a smaller profit.

If you want to raise scorpions, you must be careful when you import seed scorpions from a breeding company that guarantees recycling. You may fall into a scam because recycling is meaningless without production. If you want to raise scorpions well, you must use wild scorpions as seed scorpions. They are disease-free and grow and reproduce quickly. Scorpion breeding can definitely make money.

6. How are scorpions sold?

Artificial breeding of scorpions

Analysis of artificially bred scorpions

1. The broad market for artificially bred scorpions

Due to the long-term reclamation of mountains and fields, the development of mineral resources, the widespread use of pesticides and the large-scale artificial capture, the wild scorpion resources have been depleted and even face the danger of extinction. This has caused a very prominent contradiction between supply and demand with the market's growing demand for scorpions. Although the price of scorpions has been rising again and again, the national scorpion production can only meet about 30% of the market demand. This information tells us that scorpions have become a hot commodity in the market, and the soaring prices are unstoppable. It can be said that buying at any time is the right choice. Therefore, many experts always hoard hundreds of kilograms or even tons of scorpions to continuously obtain considerable economic benefits brought by the soaring prices.

2. Mature technology for artificial breeding of scorpions

my country's research on artificial scorpion breeding technology began in the 1950s. The technology has been refined for more than 40 years and has reached perfection. Therefore, the State Science and Technology Commission has promoted artificial scorpion breeding as a key point in the "Spark Plan" during the 8th Five-Year Plan period. CCTV's agricultural science and technology programs have repeatedly broadcast practical scorpion breeding technology materials. To further encourage people's enthusiasm for scorpion breeding, the country has also introduced preferential policies such as long-term tax exemption for family scorpion breeding. All of this provides technical and policy guarantees for people to raise scorpions.

3. Convenient conditions for artificial breeding of scorpions

First, the investment can be large or small. Second, it occupies very little land, requires little labor, and can be raised by both urban and rural men and women. Third, scorpions excrete little feces, have no odor, and do not pollute the environment. Fourth, scorpions have strong vitality and disease resistance, and rarely suffer from diseases. Fifth, eliminated scorpions can still be used as medicine, which does not affect their utilization value. Sixth, scorpions reproduce quickly and have a high litter birth rate.

4. Artificial breeding of scorpions has considerable economic benefits

As the contradiction between scorpion supply and demand becomes increasingly prominent, the price of scorpions has also been rising year by year, with the highest price of live scorpions climbing to more than 600 yuan. Therefore, artificial scorpion breeding is an ideal family sideline and the first choice for laid-off workers and farmers to get rich and become well-off.

7. How to solve the problem of marketing scorpions?

Don't worry, scorpion breeding manufacturers will recycle scorpions. Scorpion breeding bases will provide scorpion trading markets. If you don't produce scorpions, you don't have to worry about sales. The cost of producing one kilogram of scorpions is about 300 yuan. The market price of scorpions is about 800 yuan. The profit of scorpion breeding is obvious. What else do you have to worry about?

The investment required for scorpion breeding is not very high. It has the characteristics of small investment, small risk, quick results, and high profits. For breeders, breeding scorpions saves labor, time, and worry.

8. How to sell farmed scorpions after they mature?

Live scorpions are around 150 yuan per catty, salt-dried scorpions are around 230 yuan per catty, and water-dried scorpions are around 300 yuan per catty. If you sell them as commodities, the profit from live scorpions and dried scorpions is about the same. If you sell them as seeds or edible scorpions, the profit from selling live scorpions is higher. (For reference only)

If you are a farmer who is new to raising scorpions, you can also invest less and adopt a simple pot-raising method to raise scorpions. The simple method is to make this kind of earthen nest room, which can be made with local clay. Most farmers can make this kind of thing.
