CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is raising sea cucumbers profitable? How is it now? (What are the costs and profits of raising sea cucumbers in cages?)

Profits and risks of sea cucumber farming

Cost perspective: The purchase price of ginseng seedlings is about 110 yuan per catty, and 120 catties of ginseng seedlings are needed per mu. The costs during the breeding period are mainly incurred in: labor costs, water and electricity costs, rent, feed, etc. The total cost of these breeding period is about 90 yuan, so the cost price is 200 yuan per catty. Excellent sea cucumber farmers can generally achieve a survival rate of 90% from ginseng seedlings to sea cucumbers, and their weight doubles 4-5 times.

From the perspective of income: the current price of live sea cucumbers farmed in greenhouses in the marine product wholesale market is around 100 yuan. That is to say, based on an output of 300 jin per mu: 100*500*0.9-120*200=21,000 yuan.

Market risk: When we calculate from the current market perspective, under the condition of good benefits, we can realize a profit of more than 20,000 yuan per mu. However, the current market price of sea cucumbers is chaotic, fluctuating greatly, and uneven. Some are thousands of yuan, some are hundreds of yuan, and some are only dozens of yuan, which seriously misleads the choice of the consumer market. The sea cucumber market is mixed, which is a problem of the sea cucumber market industry. Many new farmers have been misled and deceived. In the same way, the market sales are greatly affected, and good products cannot be sold.

Costs and profits of sea cucumber farming in cages

Cost and profit analysis of sea cucumber cage culture

1. Breeding costs

(1) Cage. A 16-square-meter cage costs about 350 yuan, including the mesh, mesh, labor, and floats.

(2) Seedlings: Assuming 30 jin of seedlings are used and each jin costs 50 yuan, the total cost is 1,500 yuan.

(3) The cost of feed, medicine and electricity is calculated at RMB 15 per piece.

(4) The grass planting fee is calculated based on a labor cost of RMB 5 per grass.

Each cage costs a total of 1,870 yuan.

2. Breeding profit

(1) Mature ginseng: The output of mature ginseng is 35 jin, 40 yuan per jin, totaling 1,400 yuan.

(2) Hand-picked seedlings: The output of hand-picked seedlings was 50 kilograms, 48 ​​yuan per kilogram, totaling 2,400 yuan.

The income of each cage during each breeding cycle is 3,800 yuan.

Profit: 3800 yuan - 1870 yuan = 1821 yuan.

Each cage can be reused, and the sea cucumber breeding cycle is about 7 months. After the sea cucumbers go out to sea in autumn, they can continue to be stocked. The survival rate will vary from year to year, so specific calculations can only be made in the next breeding cycle.
