CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can you make money by raising grasshoppers? How much is it now? (Can you make money by raising grasshoppers? How much is it now?)

1. 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.

2. Is raising locusts profitable?

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.

3. What is the profit of raising grasshoppers in 1,000 square meters?

You only need to buy seeds once, but they can reproduce for many years. The eggs hatch locusts, and the locusts lay eggs, and the cycle repeats endlessly without mutation. If each locust egg costs 0.10 yuan, you only need to invest 1,000 yuan for 10,000 locusts. The breeding equipment is simple, and you can make do with what you have and use local materials. The investment required to purchase some of the equipment is only a few dozen yuan.

The sources of feed are wide. Grasshoppers are plant insects that feed on plant leaves. Grasshoppers like to eat reeds, barnyard grass, white grass, dogtooth grass, wormwood, shrimp grass and sea salicornia, etc. You can raise 10,000 to 50,000 grasshoppers without investment. Each person can complete the whole process of raising and managing in two hours a day. If you need to grow your own feed, you can plant 10,000 grasshoppers in one mu of land in batches, and the investment is minimal.

Grasshoppers have strong vitality and never get sick. If locusts are raised under natural conditions, they can produce two generations a year in summer and autumn in the north, and can be raised all year round in the south. The cycle is short, the effect is fast, and the reproduction rate is high. Each grasshopper lays 60 to 120 eggs at a time.

The weight of 10,000 grasshoppers can reach 36-40 jin. Based on the price of 8 yuan per jin, the calculation formula for summer locusts is: 10,000 × 36 jin × 8 yuan = 288 yuan. If 4,000 female locusts are left to lay eggs, each locust lays at least 60 eggs, and the survival rate is 90%, the number of autumn locusts in the second half of the year will be 4,000 × 60 eggs × 90% = 216,000, and the amount is 216,000 × 36 jin × 8 yuan = 6,220 yuan. The gross income of raising 10,000 grasshoppers in the first year is 6,220 + 288 = 6,508 yuan. In subsequent years, depending on the number of eggs laid by the grasshoppers, the income will double.

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. How much can you earn in a year by raising grasshoppers on 2 mu of land?

1. Seedling cost: One acre of field can raise about 20,000 grasshoppers, each grasshopper costs 0.1 yuan, and the total cost is about 2,000 yuan.

2. Construction cost: In order to prevent grasshoppers from escaping, a greenhouse needs to be built, and the construction cost is about 300 yuan.

3. Labor costs: In the early stage of breeding, a relatively high breeding cost is required, which is about 500 yuan.

4. Other expenses: feed costs are about 300 yuan, water, electricity, and natural enemy control costs are about 500 yuan, and the total cost is about 3,600 yuan.

7. 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.
