CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is earthworm farming profitable? (Is earthworm farming profitable? What is the cost per acre of land and what is the profit?)

1. How much profit can you make from raising earthworms per acre per month?

Earthworms have a very strong reproductive capacity. Under normal breeding conditions, the annual output of earthworms per mu can reach about 3,000 kg, and high yields can reach 5,000 kg. Based on the average output of 3,000 kg, the current market price is about 10 yuan/kg, so the output value of earthworms is about 30,000 yuan.

Among them, earthworm manure is also a fertilizer with a very wide range of applications. Generally, the output of one acre is about 40 tons, and the price is 150 yuan/ton, so earthworm manure can also be sold for 6,000 yuan. Therefore, the total profit of one acre of earthworms can reach 36,000 yuan. Excluding the breeding cost, the profit of one acre is about 30,000 yuan.

2. How much profit can you make from earthworm farming on 5 mu in a year?

The profit from earthworm farming mainly comes from two parts. One part is the value brought by the earthworms themselves, and the other part is the value brought by earthworm manure. After adding the two together, the profit from earthworms is still quite considerable.

(1) Earthworms

Generally speaking, the annual yield of fresh earthworms per mu is 2-3 tons, and can reach 5 tons when the yield is high. Based on the minimum of 2 tons, the current market price of earthworms is more than 10,000 yuan per ton (when sold as bait, it can reach more than 30,000 yuan per ton). Based on the minimum of 10,000 yuan per ton, the income can be 20,000 yuan, and the income from 5 mu of earthworms is about 100,000 yuan.

(2) Earthworm species

Raising one acre of earthworms can produce 40 tons of earthworm manure, which costs 150 yuan per ton, for a total of 6,000 yuan.

In summary, after adding up the profits from earthworms and earthworm manure, the minimum profit can be 26,000 yuan. Tiny earthworms not only realize the green circular economy, but also bring a new way for farmers to increase their income and become rich.

3. What is the prospect of raising earthworms and are the benefits significant?

Breeding earthworms is nothing new. It is a niche field and it is difficult to make money from breeding. First of all, you need to have a deep understanding of it. Earthworms have many uses and many universities and research institutes are conducting research on them.

We can analyze it from three main aspects: breeding principles, breeding survival rate and sales channels.

Earthworms are usually farmed using cow dung, sheep dung and other feces as raw materials. The breeding cost is very low. The feces consumed by earthworms is a good organic fertilizer that can obtain various economic benefits.

Secondly, earthworms are easy to raise, have a high survival rate, grow relatively fast, and have fast economic benefits. Finally, the sales channels of earthworms are getting wider and wider, and the market demand is getting bigger and bigger. From these points of view, raising earthworms is profitable.
