There are more and more Loach farmers. Do you know how much one mu of Loach pond can earn?

My favorite thing when I was a child was that when the nearby fish pond was cleared, there would always be a lot of Loach and shrimp in the mud pond left behind after each water was drained. However, we do not specialize in raising Loach here, which may have something to do with the taste of the local people.

We locals think that the taste of Loach is not very good, there are not many people who eat it, and naturally not many people raise it. But there are fish, crayfish and rice field eel. So be sure to understand the local market situation before breeding, do not be blind, if the local market situation is too bad or advise you to give up this idea early, after all, the aquaculture industry is very risky.

Next, let's take a look at the preliminary investment of raising one mu of Loach.

Another reason why there are not many people raising Loach is that the investment in the pond is relatively large. Because the escape ability of Loach is too strong, the general farmers will choose to build cement on the pond, which can reduce the escape of Loach. In this way, we need to take into account the pond rent, pond renovation costs (water and electricity renovation, pond digging, repair costs, etc.) add up to about 30,000 yuan per mu.

Secondly, it also needs the supporting facilities of the pond, such as anti-escape net, anti-bird net, drainage facilities, oxygen-increasing facilities and so on. It also needs about 5000 yuan.

The third is the problem of Loach seedlings. At present, it should be said that Loach farming makes more money by selling Loach seedlings. Generally, 60, 000 Misgurnus anguillicaudatus seedlings are needed per mu of ponds, and these 60, 000 Loach seedlings need about 5000 yuan according to the quality of Loach.

Fourth, the problem of feed, the biggest expense in the breeding process is the cost of feed. And feeding in the process of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus culture is also a more technical work, Loach is generally eating less and more meals, the feed cost of one mu of Loach is about 8000 yuan in the whole breeding process.

Finally, there are some unremarkable expenses in the breeding process, such as pond disinfection, Loach medicine, workers' wages, water and electricity costs, and so on. These miscellaneous things look inconspicuous, and they add up to about 10,000 yuan.

In this way, the investment of one mu of Loach pond in the first year will be about 50,000 yuan. Of course, the cost will be higher in the first year and slightly less in the later period. Let's take a look at the current price of Loach in the market. in fact, the price is still very different. For example, Loach here is not very popular in the market. Ordinary families generally do not eat Loach, and only some restaurants will buy it specially. So the price is relatively low.

It usually costs about 8 to 10 yuan per jin. An acre of fish ponds produces about 5000 jin of Loach. In that case, you will probably lose money in the first year of raising Loach here. Of course, if you raise well, you can still earn some money, but not a lot. Of course, if you are breeding in areas with a large demand for Loach, and the market is good, you can naturally make money.

However, the risk of the aquaculture market is still very large, and it is cyclical, so it is better to be cautious.
