Is loach farming risky? Understand clearly before you start farming

“Turtle dove in the sky, loach on the ground” - the nutritional value of loach is quite high, and in addition, loach also has relatively high medicinal value. In recent years, market demand for loach has been large, and the prospects for loach farming in both domestic and foreign markets are broad. So, is loach farming risky?

Market risk

Although current market demand for loach is very large and prices have been rising, for individual farmers there is likewise market risk. Especially for first-time farming on a small scale, the market risk is relatively greater. It is recommended to actively draw close to large operators and farming bases, keep abreast of market information, grasp the right timing, and when convenient “hitch a ride” on others' sales.

Technical risk

In loach farming, the main risk lies in technology. If techniques such as feeding and disease prevention and treatment are not up to standard, farming will fail. Therefore, before starting to farm, it is best to learn the relevant techniques, then trial-farm on a small scale, and only after fully mastering the techniques move on to large-scale industrial farming.
