1. 2019 golden coin turtle prices

2. Golden coin turtle farming prospects

1. Its own value. As a food, the golden coin turtle is an excellent tonic. The golden coin turtle has good effects on tumors, chronic diseases, liver and kidney diseases, and more; at the same time, it can also regulate human body functions and improve human immunity and anti-fatigue capacity. In medicine, research shows that combining the active factors in the golden coin turtle with certain specific elements can be used to treat thrombocytopenia and cell necrosis, and inhibit the growth of cancer cells, achieving the effects of preventing and fighting cancer and eliminating tumors

2. Market demand. In addition to the relatively high food and medicinal value of the golden coin turtle itself, which makes people willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, many people also keep it at home as an ornamental pet. The golden coin turtle is a homophone for “gold returns”, and can prosper a home’s feng shui, guard the house and bring in wealth. Businesspeople especially like it.

3. Farming returns. At present, golden coin turtle farming has not yet developed to a large scale. More than 95% of other farming users are small-scale individual farmers, and large-scale farms are less than 5%, so the situation of supply falling short of demand cannot be broken in a short time. The golden coin turtle does not need special care; it has a varied and broad diet and strong disease resistance, is convenient to raise artificially, and has low feeding costs. The annual feeding cost of one breeding golden coin turtle is about 30 yuan. Ordinary farmers generally choose to sell seedlings; one female golden coin turtle can hatch 8-10 seedlings a year, which means that after one year of raising one golden coin turtle, a net profit of 7-9 times can be obtained. And raising them to adult turtles all brings prices of tens of thousands.

4. Future development. Turtle farming does not occupy much space, and saves time and effort; it can be developed in the “courtyard economy”, “rooftop economy” and “balcony economy”. Golden coin turtle farming can both save endangered species and, once farmed to a certain scale, supply the market. Its extremely high medicinal value lets it sell far and wide domestically and internationally, with stable market demand.

From this it can be seen that the golden coin turtle not only has high value, but its farming prospects are also considerable. Friends who want to engage in farming can make further plans according to market conditions.
