What is the most profitable farming project in 2017?
Farming includes livestock farming, poultry farming, aquaculture and so on. It is one of the main components of agriculture, stands alongside crop cultivation as one of the two pillars of agricultural production, and is also an extremely important link in the material exchange between humans and nature. To make money from farming, first the farming techniques must be sound, then excellent breeds must be selected, and with careful management of one's own, the quality of the animals raised can be ensured as excellent; finally, only through reasonable sales can money be made. Now let us take a look together at what is most profitable to farm in 2016!
Wild boar farming
At present, commercial wild boar farming is still an emerging hot project. Currently, around 2 million commercial wild boars are supplied to the market nationwide each year. China has a huge population and is a major country where pork is the main meat, with an annual consumption of 480 million domestic pigs, so even calculated at 1/10 of domestic pig sales, the annual demand for wild boar would be 48 million head, a huge gap. Facing today's diversified market, people's consumer demand is constantly rising and tastes are constantly changing. Specialty wild boar meat has gradually become a new health food that people seek, with effects such as lowering blood lipids and preventing arteriosclerosis. At present, specialty wild boar meat has good sales momentum in some cities in China. Farmers are gradually understanding the good market prospects of specialty wild boar farming, and specialty wild boar farming has already become a good project for farmers to get rich.
Hare farming
Hare meat is rich in nutrients and highly beneficial to the human body, belonging to a kind of top-grade tonic. As the saying goes, "Among birds none beats the partridge; among beasts none beats the hare," which is enough to show the nutritional value of hare. Moreover, hare meat has been "designated" by the World Rabbit Science Association as "beauty meat" and "health meat." It contains large amounts of minerals and calcium, is very beneficial to pregnant women and children, can effectively improve memory, prevent the decline of brain function, and has the effects of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, cooling the blood and detoxifying. Therefore, the prospects for hare farming are very broad, and the market demand for hares is especially large now. As long as farmers follow scientific feeding methods, they can obtain good returns.
Free-range chicken farming
Compared with broilers introduced from abroad and laying hens introduced and bred in China, free-range chickens have the advantages of rich nutrition and unique flavor. Developing the free-range chicken farming industry will play a certain role in improving people's dietary structure and raising people's standard of living. Free-range chickens and free-range eggs are both in high demand on the market. Because the quantity of free-range chickens and free-range eggs on the market is relatively small at present, the market potential for farming free-range chickens is very large, and vigorously developing the free-range chicken farming industry has great prospects. China's rural areas are rich in labor resources, which can provide sufficient human resources for developing the free-range chicken farming industry.
Pheasant farming
Pheasant meat is delicious and nutritious, containing various amino acids essential to the human body as well as multiple trace elements such as calcium, sodium and sulfur. In addition to being eaten, its gallbladder, blood and gizzard lining can be refined into pharmaceutical preparations, and the feathers of male pheasants can be made into feather crafts. At present, there are quite a few breeds of pheasant raised, among which the American seven-color pheasant has the largest farming volume. In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, game foods have become indispensable delicacies on dining tables and at banquets. However, wild pheasants are protected by national law, and hunting and illegal trading are strictly prohibited. In addition, there are very few left in nature, so there are unlimited business opportunities in artificially farming pheasants.
Quail farming
Quail meat and eggs have relatively high tonic effects and are praised as "animal ginseng." The giant meat quail is a quail breed introduced from France and is currently the heaviest quail in the world. From hatching to market takes only 40 days, each bird weighs more than 250 grams, and a female quail lays more than 250 eggs per year. Since 2004, a boom in farming and consumption rapidly formed in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. In 2006 alone, quail consumption in Shanghai reached more than 18 million birds. Giant meat quails are easy to raise, require little investment, turn over quickly and have high returns; the market prospects are very broad, and relatively large development is expected in the next few years.
Bee farming
Honey is a highly complex saturated sugar solution that bees store in the honeycomb after fully brewing the secretions of the floral nectaries or extrafloral nectaries of nectar plants. Sugar accounts for about 3/4, mainly glucose and fructose. In addition, honey also contains protein, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, organic acids, pigments, pollen, hormones and so on. It is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, and has functions such as tonifying the middle, moistening dryness, relieving pain, detoxifying and antibacterial. It mainly treats deficiency pain in the abdomen, dry cough due to lung dryness, constipation due to intestinal dryness, and is used externally for unhealing sores and ulcers, scalds and burns, etc. It is also widely used in the preparation of pastes, pills and pellets in traditional Chinese medicine, and is also very widely used in the food industry, cosmetics production and so on.
