Let us take a look at the 2015 ground beetle market price below!
2015 Ground Beetle Market Price
The market price of fresh Chinese ground beetle (Eupolyphaga sinensis) is about 35 to 45 yuan per kilogram, while the price of golden-edged ground beetle is relatively lower.
What are the prospects for ground beetle farming?
The main sales markets for ground beetle are medicinal herb markets and pharmaceutical departments in various regions. In recent years, the price of dried ground beetle has been relatively stable, but anything in excess is worthless while anything scarce is precious, and this is especially true for ground beetle farming, which has relatively narrow purchasing and sales channels. In recent years, due to the influence of seed speculation, the farming scale of ground beetle has expanded somewhat, and prices are expected to be affected. In addition, fresh ground beetle has a poor taste, making it difficult to bring to the dining table, and the problem of deep processing has not been well solved. Therefore, friends who wish to engage in ground beetle farming should consider the local sales market and solve the sales problem before starting to farm.
Factors affecting ground beetle prices
1. Immature farming technology: In previous years, ground beetle farming generally only understood the medicinal value of ground beetle and put it into farming as a medicinal insect, but lacked ground beetle farming technology and experience, not knowing how to manage it, which led to massive deaths of ground beetle and unsuccessful farming. This became a major factor affecting ground beetle prices.
2. Increased demand for ground beetle: Since we joined the international trade organization, China's export volume of Chinese medicinal herbs has greatly increased, and the export volume of ground beetle as a Chinese medicinal herb has also grown accordingly, which directly drove the development of artificial ground beetle farming.
3. Increased uses of ground beetle: Previously, ground beetle was only used in Chinese medicinal herbs, but now its uses are becoming more and more widespread, such as ground beetle food, ground beetle dishes, ground beetle wine, premium pet feed, health products, and so on, all involving ground beetle, further expanding the demand for ground beetle.
4. The quality of the ground beetle itself
① Obviously, the size of the ground beetle certainly determines the price of commercial ground beetle. The size of the ground beetle is directly proportional to the price. Large dried ground beetle commands the highest price.
② The completeness of dried ground beetle also determines the price. The more complete and less damaged the ground beetle, the higher the price.
③ Ground beetle is also divided into clear-water goods and salt-water goods. The price of clear-water goods is higher than that of salt-water goods.
④ The ground beetle industry also has its own market, and prices are affected by the supply and demand relationship in the market. When demand exceeds supply, prices will naturally rise; when supply exceeds demand, prices will fall.
