Will bullfrogs still increase in price this year
"Recently, the price of bullfrogs has fallen too hard, and farmers are losing money across the board. It is estimated that after this wave of demolition will be good." Purchasers in Guangdong and other places said that due to the concentrated demolition of bullfrog farms, the price of bullfrogs has been falling recently. Farmers who have no choice but to demolish their farms have to sell their frogs at even lower prices. Now the price of frogs has been "a cry". This wave of bullfrog prices, not only because of Guangdong and other places of origin demolition, but also market depression. Take the Shanghai market as an example. In previous years, a stall a day to sell 20,000 pounds of bullfrogs is very normal. Now, it is a good deal to sell seven or eight kilograms a day. "Some time ago, Nanjing and other markets were affected by the epidemic, and the consumption of bullfrogs was almost zero, which had a great impact on the market price. Recently, the bullfrog consumption market is slowly improving, but the price still hasn't risen." Bullfrog demolition has a great impact on the market, mainly because the impact of bullfrog concentration on the market is too great. "Now the purchase price of 3-6 two bullfrogs is around 4.4 yuan/catty, and 5-8 two bullfrogs are around 4.7 yuan/catty. This depends on the quality, the quality of the demolition of frogs varies. Buyers still don't want it, and will find fault with the price." Demolished bullfrogs, regardless of quality specifications, are sold, which is the biggest harm to the market. Recently, some farmers bought demolished bullfrogs to go back to raise, within a few days they died and suffered heavy losses. The big price drop is only one reason that affects farmers' emotions. With the recent drop in temperature, the incidence of bullfrogs has also begun to increase. "Low head disease has been particularly high lately, as has enteritis." Aquaculture.com understands that low head disease in bullfrogs is mainly due to the outbreak of disease caused by high farming density and untimely disposal of waste bait and feces. Once a bullfrog is infected with Flavobacterium meningitis, it's crazy enough to cause low head. If not treated in time, cross-infection is fast. Enteritis may look like a single disease, but in fact it may be a disease caused by a combination of reasons, such as poor water quality, bacterial outbreak, poor feed quality, incorrect feeding methods, etc. Farmers should first let bullfrogs have a good living environment, feed high quality feed and feed reasonably according to the actual situation. Bullfrogs are gluttonous and frequent overfeeding will easily lead to indigestion and heavy burden on the liver. It is only a matter of time before they get sick and die. This year is another year of great fluctuations in the price of bullfrogs. in May, the highest price of bullfrogs rose to 19 yuan/catty. in June, it began to fall below 15 yuan/catty. in July, it fell below 10 yuan/catty. in late August, it all fell below 5 yuan/catty. "The breeding cost of bullfrogs is generally 5 yuan / catty, and now they are losing money. But Guangdong and other places are still dismantling bullfrog farms, it is difficult to increase prices in a short time. It is estimated that farmers will have to bullfrog farming has been characterized by high density, high yield, price fluctuations, resulting in large fluctuations in profits. According to this year's highest price of 19 yuan / catty, an acre of land in accordance with the production of about 30,000 pounds. "Bullfrogs, if sold at the highest price, an acre of land can earn more than 400,000 yuan. Even at a price of 10 yuan, an acre of land can make about 150,000 yuan. It's definitely not an exaggeration to say that bullfrogs are profiteering." It is the possibility of bullfrog profiteering that has led to the continued warming of bullfrog farming. In the past, bullfrog farming was mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang. Later, after a wave of centralized dismantling, bullfrog farming has been on the rise in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Hainan. "Inland production is slightly lower, but compared to other farming species, the profit of bullfrogs is still irresistible." In recent years, the mobility of bullfrog farming has been relatively high, and when one place is not allowed to raise them, farmers will turn to other areas to find sites. The demolition policy is inconsistent in different places. At present, some places still use bullfrog farming as a way to get rich, but many places have begun to emphasize bullfrog farming. "Bullfrog farming is dense and polluting, and many places are now fighting pollution. Once bullfrogs are targeted, documents that may ban bullfrog farming will soon come out." Bullfrog farming has a big return on investment, as long as the market is not particularly bad, the investment in the year can be returned and make money. "So bullfrogs, a short and quick species, as long as you can raise two or three years, the farmers' profits will be very substantial. If you encounter a particularly good market, you can make a lot of money in one year, and you can make less or no money in the remaining two years." Many people will have a doubt that bullfrog farms are going to be demolished on a large scale, and the price of bullfrogs is going to keep running at a high level. But in fact, due to the guerrilla warfare of bullfrog farmers, the main production areas have already dismantled a lot of farms, and new production areas will appear bigger farms. As a result, overall production of bullfrogs has risen steadily in recent years. "After this wave of demolition this year, the area of bullfrog farming will increase next year, and farmers will move to other areas. Large and small feed mills are also one of the driving forces behind this."
