Is ground beetle farming real? A detailed analysis of the actual farming situation
Is ground beetle farming real? Everyone can see news and reports about ground beetle farming in various media programs every day, and everyone knows that the price has not only soared, but the market is also tight, which has led many farmers to switch to ground beetle farming. So is ground beetle farming actually real?
In fact, ground beetle farming is real, but many companies have exaggerated its economic benefits, and there is a lot of hype in the market. It is recommended that farmers visit Chinese medicinal herb markets themselves more often to learn more true and accurate market information, and investigate the market situation first before deciding whether to invest.
At present, the market demand for ground beetles is increasing year by year. According to relevant departments, the annual demand gap exceeds one million tons. Authoritative figures analyze that within the next 10 years, market demand for ground beetles will remain in a state of shortage. With such huge demand for ground beetles today, what about its supply? At present, due to factors such as human activity and the environment, wild ground beetles have become rare, which has led to a serious shortage of supply. In addition, the current farming scale is still relatively small and far from meeting market demand. Therefore, theoretically speaking, artificial ground beetle farming has broad market prospects and is a good project for getting rich through science and technology.
But in reality, ground beetle farming, like other farming industries, requires a forward-looking vision. As long as there is market demand, then it is real. As for the many advertisements saying that farming ground beetles is guaranteed to make money, this is something you need to judge with your own eyes. The ground beetle market has now become saturated, and high profits are impossible. You can enter the industry, but do not think about making a big fortune from it. If you do well, you can earn a little; with a slight mistake, you can lose money.
Whether ground beetle farming is real or not is aside for now, but it is certain that there is market demand. Where there is demand, there is a market. The key is how farmers grasp the market. Do not resolutely engage in any farming industry whose market you cannot grasp. For example, everyone says a certain farming industry is profitable, but only very few people actually make money. Most do not make money, and then everyone says this industry is a scam, this industry does not make money, this industry is fake, and so on. Taking this opportunity, the editor reminds everyone here that the result of blindly following trends is very miserable. Those who can grasp the market eat meat, those who follow well drink soup, but the vast majority become the firewood used to cook this pot of meat.
Alright, that is all the editor has to say about whether ground beetle farming is real. In fact, on this question, “everyone has their own opinion.” Below, let us briefly learn about ground beetle farming techniques!
The more advanced method of ground beetle farming is the three-dimensional constant-temperature farming method, which yields high economic benefits. Ground beetles in the south grow for much longer in the natural environment than in the north and have stronger adaptability. Therefore, introducing them from south to north does not involve regional limitations, just like transplanting plants from the natural environment into a greenhouse; the plants can still grow very well.
Rearing conditions
Ground beetles like to live in dark, humid, loose soil rich in organic matter. They are highly adaptable, and as long as a certain temperature and humidity are maintained, they can be raised in all regions.
Three-dimensional factory-style rearing
The equipment used for raising ground beetles is relatively simple. For small-scale rearing, plastic basins are enough. To farm ground beetles on a large scale, a three-dimensional multi-layer rearing rack can be used. The specific method is: build bricks against the wall inside the housing, with each layer height controlled at about 30-38 cm. The layer boards are best made of cement boards, and 5-7 layers of rearing racks can be built on each wall.
Practice has proven that this kind of rearing rack can make the indoor temperature 6-10°C higher than that of flat pools. The growth and development of ground beetles are noticeably faster, completing one generation in only about 7 months, and annual output is significantly increased.
