How much does a pound of soft-shelled turtle cost in the market?

The market price of soft-shelled turtles is generally quite expensive, and they are divided into two types: farmed and wild. The price of farmed soft-shelled turtles is about 60-70 yuan per catty, while the price of wild soft-shelled turtles is even higher.

The price will vary according to the size. The bigger the wild turtle is, the more expensive it is. The smaller one is about 200 yuan per catty, the medium one is about 500 yuan, and if it is more than 3 catties, the price will even go up to 600 yuan. Because the wild environment is being destroyed, the number of wild turtles is decreasing, so the price will naturally be several times higher than that of wild turtles.

Moreover, soft-shelled turtle eggs are also very popular in the market now, and the price has reached nearly 30 yuan per catty. Although soft-shelled turtles used to be a high-end food, people's living standards are getting better and better, and their awareness of the value of food therapy is getting deeper and deeper. The audience range of soft-shelled turtles is naturally getting larger and larger.

If it is confirmed to be a wild turtle, its market price is about 300 yuan to 360 yuan. If you raise it at home, you must pay attention to whether it opens its mouth to eat, which can determine its lifespan.
