Crab business opportunity: it is better to raise well than to sell well.

In September, crab farmers in many places began to catch and sell crabs. For example, a crab farming county in central Jiangsu began fishing on September 5, and the sales price on the same day was 57 yuan per jin for 2 two specifications of female crabs and 3 taels of male crabs.

"it's a pity to start the arrest now." Xing Qingsong, head of the Qingsong Fisheries Cooperation Association in Gaochun County, said after hearing the news, "the temperature has risen in recent days, and it is the last time that crabs shed their shells and grow most vigorously. It can be said that the specifications of crabs are larger every other day. When fishing starts in a week or a few weeks, the price will be completely different. For example, the crabs in our co-operatives are not sold by catties, but are sold only because they are not caught and sold until the crabs are mature and big. "

The major crab farmer and distributor said that they have 3218 members of the Fisheries Cooperation Association and raise 136800 mu of crabs. except for catching a very small number of sample crabs for customers to see, crab farmers have not yet begun to catch crabs. Moreover, even if the catch is officially started, the co-operatives still require all members to be listed evenly, do not panic when the price is low, and do not rush to sell when the price goes up, otherwise, everyone will rush to list on the market, and the price will kill each other, and it will only be the crab farmers themselves who will be injured.

In fact, now the vast majority of crab farmers have mastered the extended crab culture technology, as long as the technology is proper, crabs can not be caught until around the Spring Festival. "the crabs raised by our cooperative have been sold from the end of September last year until the 18th day of the first lunar month this year. During this process, the price of crabs has gone up all the way. The price of crabs before and after the Spring Festival is about 30% higher than that in October last year. Years of market experience tells them that it is important to raise crabs well, but sometimes it is more important to sell well. "

There is a Jiangsu Red paste hairy Crab Co., Ltd. in Anfeng Town, Xinghua City, with a total crab farming area of 40,000 mu. Chen Yougen, director of the company's office, told reporters that most of the local crabs who are eager to sell crabs are retail farmers who do not know much about the market and are eager to seize the "first opportunity". He said that crabs can be on the market from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the Spring Festival, with the best prices for crabs around November 15, when most of the crabs from free-range farmers have been sold out. Due to the decline in supply in the market, crab prices remained high until the last wave of price peaks during the Spring Festival. For a long time, September and October are the peak season for crab sales, which generally account for 40% of the annual output. During this period, crabs tend to swarm on the market, which is bad for crab farmers.

As a matter of fact, many crab farmers already know the gold content of the "aftermachine" in the market. According to the Association of Crab Brokers in Linhuai Town, Sihong County, from January to September a few years ago, crab farmers sold crabs one after another, and their prices fell, and crab farmers did not make much profit. "then we noticed that the sales time was extended and delayed. Towards the end of the year, those big crabs were fished out of the cold water and attracted batch after batch of crab vendors to patronize, and the price was basically up to us. The association not only buys and 'hoards' crabs locally, but also buys them from other places. Last fall, someone went to Wuhan and pulled several carts of low-cost crabs to Hongze Lake to temporarily raise them. They sold them again near the Spring Festival, and the price more than doubled.
