The reasons for the loss are similar. One is that there are more and more breeding areas, and the market supply exceeds demand. Another is uneven quality. People rush to engage in farming, and the products on the market will be good and bad, and consumers' confidence in the products will be greatly reduced.
20 19, no matter whether you make money or not, there is no way to change it. Is there any hope for raising crabs in 2020? Let's analyze it together
input cost
This year, crab farmers are losing blood. Can they make money by breeding crabs in 2020?
1, crab seedlings
The species we choose most often is the river crab. Generally, the stocking quantity of river crabs in an acre pond is about 600, and the specification is 3g/ crab. Its price is higher than that in 0.8 yuan, so the cost of raising crabs is around 480 yuan.
Step 2 feed
Eriocheir sinensis can eat natural bait in the pond when it grows. Generally, the feed required for the whole growth process of Eriocheir sinensis per mu is about 160kg. The feed price is generally around 6.25/ kg, so the feed cost of an acre of river crabs is around 1000 yuan.
Aquatic plants are indispensable in the culture of river crabs, which can be used as bait and provide shade for river crabs. Therefore, it takes about 1.200 yuan and about 800 yuan to plant an appropriate amount of aquatic plants in the pond and then cultivate an appropriate amount of snails as natural bait for crabs.
3. Pond rent
If we don't have a pond, then we must pay the rent for it. Usually, the rent of the pond is not too expensive. The more you rent, the cheaper the price. Generally, an acre costs about 1 1,000 yuan.
4. Miscellaneous expenses
When raising crabs, we should do a good job in disease prevention and treatment of crabs, so we should use drugs, plus electricity and other miscellaneous expenses. Probably need 150 yuan.
So according to these data, scientists can calculate that the total cost of raising one acre of crabs is about 3800 yuan.
income
According to the standard mode of raising rare river crabs, there are about 600 river crabs per mu. The overall situation of crab culture is good, with an average yield of about 190 kg per mu.
So a catty of 20 yuan can break even. Even if the market is bad, crabs cost more than 20 yuan a catty. Moreover, after this year's "low-cost cleaning", crab farming has been standardized a lot, and many farmers have given up. Prices are likely to pick up in 2020.
So breeding crabs can still make money.
Of course, there are no labor costs and unexpected factors here, just give you a reference opinion, depending on the situation.
