CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the prospects for locust farming in 2021?

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 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.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising locusts?

The advantage of raising locusts is that they have a bright future, because they provide new ideas for solving some of the thorny problems facing society today. They are excellent biological resources in themselves, and they can also transform farmland weeds into usable protein resources. They are a good target for sustainable development and coping with resource shortages. The disadvantage is that if they are not raised well, you will lose all your money.

4. What is the prospect of East Asian migratory locust breeding?

Broad development prospects: For many people, raising locusts is just a matter of experience. As long as there is grass, they can be raised. Moreover, the management is simple, the labor is light, and they only need to be fed on time.

Physiologically, locusts are not prone to illness and do not spread diseases, so there is no need for epidemic prevention during breeding. Locusts are nutritious, soft and delicious, and are a favorite food of people from all over the world. Locust breeding requires little investment and has fast returns, and can usually pay back the investment in the same year.

5. 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.
