How many jin per mu can golden cicada farming produce? Prospect analysis

As an insect, the golden cicada can be used both as medicine and as food. With the improvement of people's living standards, the market demand for golden cicadas is also growing. Many people have now entered the golden cicada farming industry. How many jin of golden cicadas are produced per mu of farming? What are the farming prospects?

1. How many jin of golden cicadas are produced per mu of farming

Golden cicada farming requires the coordination of multiple factors. Depending on the woodland growing conditions and farming methods, the number of cicadas produced per mu also varies. Generally speaking, the yield per mu is 100-300 jin. Specialized farming households can reach around 500 jin.

2. What are the prospects for golden cicada farming

The initial investment in golden cicada farming mainly consists of seedlings, cicada eggs, woodland rent, labor costs, and so on. The cost per mu is roughly 700-1500 yuan. The specific amount mainly depends on the local practical conditions and the scale of farming per mu.

When sold by the piece, the price is about 5 mao each. The average price of golden cicadas per jin is 50-60 yuan. Good ones can also reach 70-80 yuan. After deducting the required costs, the total income per mu is 7000-10000 yuan. That is to say, if the annual yield per mu is more than 100 jin, the income per mu can reach 6000-7000 yuan, and if high-density farming is adopted and the yield per mu reaches several hundred jin, the income per mu can reach tens of thousands.

The golden cicada itself has high nutritional value. It is a rare high-protein, low-fat delicacy with a very good taste and is widely loved by the public as a food. Moreover, golden cicadas and their molted shells can be used as medicine. They are rich in amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body, have great medicinal value, and are also a good choice for medicinal meals. In recent years, the demand for golden cicadas has been relatively high, and prices have been climbing upward.

3. What to pay attention to in golden cicada farming

1. The temperature for hatching golden cicadas should be kept between 25-35°C. In this way, the hatching rate of golden cicadas is relatively high; otherwise, it can easily lead to mass death of golden cicadas.

2. Before planting cicada ants, first make sure of the soil moisture. If the plot is too dry, first water the ground, then loosen the surface soil to ensure that the cicada ants burrow into the soil in the shortest time. At the same time, to prevent ants from dragging away the cicada ants, ant-prevention medicine can be evenly sprinkled under each tree.

3. Choose the right tree species and cultivate the woodland well. Large trees with many roots are the key to high yields of golden cicadas. The better trees for raising golden cicadas are mainly willow and elm.

The profits of golden cicada farming are still quite good. As long as farming is carried out reasonably and all detailed factors are well controlled, high yields can be achieved and higher returns obtained.
