Guangzhou water snake culture has good economic benefits.
Recently, the supply of cultured water snakes in aquatic products market and farmers' market in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province is in short supply, which leads to higher prices and increased growth. It is reported that since February this year, the price per kilogram of small water snakes is 12 yuan, while the price of medium-sized water snakes is 16 yuan in large-scale farmers' markets in Guangzhou Wansongyuan and other places. The price per kilogram of the larger water snake is as high as 30~32 yuan, which is 2~3 yuan higher than the same period of last year, while hotels and restaurants are more expensive, but they are still favored by diners.
Water snake, also known as mud snake, belongs to snake family. They usually live in streams, swamps, ditches, rice fields and ponds. They are generally about 70-80 cm long and feed on small fish and frogs. In recent years, the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong and some places in Guangxi have developed artificial farming, but the output is still not much.
Water snakes are favored because of their tender meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition. In Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macao and other places, it is regarded as a powerful nourishing food, and also has medicinal dietotherapy value, which can promote wound healing, strengthen beauty, relax muscles and promote blood circulation, so it is very popular. In Guangzhou, Pearl River Delta and other places, there are also water snake food streets or water snake porridge cities, which need a large number of water snakes. Since the fasting of wild animals in the second half of 2003, all kinds of other wild snakes on land have been banned from selling and fasting. Only the artificially cultured water snakes are still sold in the market and supplied to diners in hotels, restaurants and restaurants. However, due to large demand, few varieties and tight supply, the price is higher. It is predicted that their prices will rise further. Therefore, all localities can actively develop water snake culture according to market needs, especially before the wild snakes on land are banned, which not only has good prospects, but also can obtain better economic benefits.
A variety of animal medicines went smoothly and prices rose.
Recently, the relevant departments have investigated the trend of animal medicinal materials in the national 17 large-scale Chinese medicinal materials market.

The 13 varieties with steady price increase are:

The market prospect of developing medicinal snakes is good.
(
According to the investigation of large-scale wholesale markets of Chinese herbal medicines in China 17, medicinal snakes have become a hot commodity in domestic and foreign markets. Since 1996, the demand for medicinal snakes in domestic and foreign markets has increased year by year, and the market price has increased at an average annual rate of 15%. Japan, Southeast Asia, Western Europe and other countries have strong demand for medicinal snakes in China, and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets often seek goods from the mainland.
In China, hundreds of new medicines, special medicines, Chinese patent medicines and health-care crystals have been developed from the whole body of medicinal snakes such as poisonous snakes, snake gall, dried snakes, snake skin, snake oil, snake powder, snake whip and snake blood, which are quite popular after being put into the market, with a sharp increase in sales. Snake venom is a specific drug for antithrombotic, anti-snakebite and detoxification. Market demand exceeds supply, and the price climbed to 1000- 1200 yuan/gram.
Due to the good market of medicinal snakes, strong demand and high benefit of snake catching, the "snake catching fever" has arisen in various producing areas, resulting in the decrease of wild medicinal snake resources year by year. In addition, the state prohibits the killing of wild snakes. However, the artificial breeding of snakes is short in cycle, small in scale and low in yield, which is difficult to meet the growing market demand, and the driving price is increasing year by year. Agkistrodon halys rose from each snake 10 to 12 yuan. Zaocys dhumnades (eviscerated) rose from 85-90 yuan (kg price, the same below) to 120- 130 yuan; Agkistrodon rose from 500-600 yuan to 680-750 yuan; The snake slough rose from 55 yuan to 160 yuan; The snake whip rose from 300 yuan to 400 yuan, and the snake gall rose from 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan; Crispy snakes rose from 450 yuan to 550-650 yuan.
According to industry insiders, the price increase of medicinal snakes is a foregone conclusion, and the market outlook will continue to strengthen.
