2018 Eel Prices Per Jin and Farming Prospects
The eel is a tropical fish species, and it is also widely distributed in some temperate regions. In China, it mainly lives in the Yangtze River area. It is a snake-shaped fish. Many people who have seen an eel may at first glance think that the thin, long creature is a water snake, and only later realize that it is a fish. I believe many people have had this experience, and the editor is one of them. Eating eel over the long term can help delay aging and strengthen the body and bones. So below, the editor will tell everyone how much eel costs per jin this year and what the farming prospects are!
I. How much is eel per jin in 2018
According to the latest market prices for eel, in the Guangdong market eel is priced at 45 yuan per kg, the most expensive at 46 yuan per kg, and the cheapest at 44 yuan per kg. The export price of vegetable eel is as high as 80 yuan per kg, the export price in Guangxi is as high as 58 yuan per kg, and Zhejiang sells it for 24 yuan per kg. From this it can be seen that eel prices differ by region, so the actual price changes according to region.
II. Is farming eel profitable in 2018
1. Artificial eel farming is carried out in ponds. This warm-water fish has considerable nutritional value. There was once a news report saying that eels would be eaten to extinction. Although it is not true, it is indeed approaching that level. Today, the intensity and scale of artificial farming are growing larger and larger. In order to meet all market demand, more farmers are now joining eel farming. Eels are not only in demand domestically; in fact, many people abroad also love eating eels, and foreigners like them too. In China, supply and demand are relatively tight mainly in first- and second-tier cities, and the market in first- and second-tier cities is very hot. Annual output and purchase volume steadily rank at the forefront of the aquatic industry.
2. The farming benefits of eel are also very high. Some farmers alone take on several hundred mu of land; they are all big farming players. Here, let me count on my fingers how much capital is roughly needed to farm one mu. First, a pond must be built. The cost of building the pond includes material costs and labor costs, which together come to about 5,000 yuan. Then the eel fry needed for subsequent farming are counted as 6,200, here calculated as 5,000 fry stocked per mu. Feed costs are about 8,000 yuan. In addition, vaccines, medicines, and other miscellaneous items can be counted as 100 yuan. In total, the cost is about nearly 20,000 yuan in investment. Generally, if farming starts that year, then more than 1 ton can be produced the next year. Sold at local prices, an average of 50,000 yuan in income can be earned per mu. After deducting costs, about 30,000 yuan can be earned, so the profit is relatively considerable.
3. If the farming scale and farming intensity are gradually expanded, and the farm is designed accordingly, then based on 667 sq m producing 30,000 eels, each 667 sq m can generate 120,000 yuan in income. So, from a long-term perspective, are the benefits very attractive?
III. Eel farming prospects in 2018
1. The commercial value of eel is mainly reflected in two areas: food and medicine. Basically, processed eel is for food, supplied to major restaurants and some seafood restaurants. In seafood restaurants, eel is extremely popular. Eating eel can help strengthen essence and tonify the kidneys, and it is especially great for some young people. It can be used by men and women, old and young alike.
2. In addition to being eaten, making it into medicines and health products is also a direction of its commercial use. It has the effect of tonifying deficiency and nourishing blood. If children eat it, it is very helpful for the development of the body and bones. Eel contains very rich calcium, so it has a good consolidating effect on osteoporosis. It can also enhance brain development and has a good effect on delaying cell aging.
