What is a bamboo rat scam? Why is it sought after?

Huanong brothers set fire to bamboo rats. Many consumers learned about bamboo rats and became interested in them, so they began to try to eat them. Many farmers think this is a business opportunity. Began to breed bamboo rats. But after raising it, I found that bamboo rats could not be sold at all. What is a bamboo rat scam?

1. Is the bamboo rat delicious?

In fact, the meat of the bamboo rat is really delicious, and it is not a national protected animal. Wild bamboo rats are more delicious than beef and mutton. 4-5 kg of bamboo rats can be sold above 500 yuan, only in the wild. Artificial cultured bamboo rats are not so delicious, because cultured bamboo rats don't exercise much, they will have more fat, and the meat is not as delicious as wild ones, and the price will be greatly reduced.

Second, why do you lose money by raising bamboo rats?

Bamboo rat meat is really delicious, so why lose money? Because the market of bamboo rats is relatively small, only Cantonese people eat more, and most people in China don't like to eat bamboo rats. Moreover, Guangdong hotels only buy wild bamboo rats, and the purchase of artificially raised bamboo rats is relatively small. Moreover, the taste of artificially raised bamboo rat meat is slightly inferior to that of beef and mutton. In addition, in recent years, there are more and more people breeding bamboo rats. This is a niche market, which is close to saturation, so it is almost difficult to sell any artificially bred bamboo rats.

Third, why do people still pursue bamboo rats?

The live broadcast of Huanong Brothers made the bamboo rat fire. Coupled with the hype of bamboo rat sellers, many farmers who don't understand the market began to breed bamboo rats. At first, the market was really good. Because of the live broadcast, many people began to try to eat bamboo rats, but found that the cultured bamboo rats tasted ordinary and the rate of returning was relatively small. After the hype of bamboo rats, most farmers have no market for bamboo rats, so they have no money to lose.

It is better to investigate the market and find the market before starting the breeding project, and it is not too late to start breeding. Otherwise, it's best to try it on a small scale first, and don't breed it on a large scale without knowing anything, otherwise it will easily lose money.
