There are three main reasons for the huge price difference. The first is the growing sea area. The sea cucumber in the north has a long growth cycle, rich nutrition and better taste, so the price is higher.

The second is the handling method. The more salt is put in the processing, the cheaper the price will be.

The third is the breeding method, and the cost of pond culture is lower.

First, how much is the sea cucumber? The price of a kilo of sea cucumber ranges from 700 to tens of thousands.

The reason why it is so expensive is that the growth cycle of this animal itself is very long, and it usually takes three or four years to grow.

At the same time, its output is unstable, not all sea areas are suitable for its growth, and sometimes it will be reduced due to climate reasons.

In addition, it is difficult to fish, so the price remains high.

2. What are the factors that affect the price of sea cucumber? 1. Growing sea area: sea cucumbers are divided into northern sea cucumbers and southern sea cucumbers according to different breeding places. Because the temperature in the south is high, the activity is high and the growth cycle is short, but similarly, the accumulated nutrients are not high and the taste is poor, so the price of sea cucumber in the south is often lower than that in the north.

2. Processing method: The live sea cucumber must be processed after being fished out, otherwise it will become water.

There are many processing methods to turn live sea cucumbers into dry sea cucumber. Different processing methods have different costs and generally need to add salt. Although the weight is large, the purity is low, so the price will be cheaper.

3. Cultivation methods: Sea cucumbers can be cultivated artificially at present, but the cultivation methods are somewhat different.

The cost of greenhouse pond culture is lower, the growth cycle is faster and the price is lower.

Embankment construction by the sea is a common farming method, and the farming effect is also good.

There are also seabed bottom sowing and cage culture. These costs are different, so the final price is different.
