It's just frogs, why in Kien Giang is the price of frog meat getting cheaper but the price of frog seeds getting more expensive?

After a period of high prices, the current price of farmed frog meat that Kien Giang farmers are weighing for traders in many localities has decreased by 4,000-5,000 VND/kg compared to more than a month ago, but the price of frog meat at this level is equivalent to the same period last year.

After a period of high prices, the current price of frog meat raised by farmers for traders in many localities of Kien Giang has decreased by 4,000-5,000 VND/kg compared to more than a month ago, but the price is equivalent to the same period last year.

People in Giong Da hamlet, Ban Thach commune, Giong Rieng district (Kien Giang province) raise frogs for meat. According to reports, the price of frog meat has recently decreased by 4,000-5,000 VND/kg at the present time, equal to the price of frog meat in the same period in 2024.

Specifically, the best quality meat frogs, size 3-4, cost 57,000 VND/kg, the second quality meat frogs, size 5-6, cost 50,000 VND/kg.

The retail price of farmed frogs at markets in localities of Kien Giang province is 90,000-110,000 VND/kg depending on whether they are cleaned or sold whole.

According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Vinh, owner of Quoc Vinh frog breeding farm in Dong Yen commune, An Bien district (Kien Giang province), the supply of frog meat from the northern provinces has decreased due to the previous unsuitable weather for frog farming, so the price of frog meat in the province remains high, helping farmers make a profit.

According to many frog farmers in Kien Giang, frog farming has low investment costs, only requiring a small area to build a cement tank or make a cage in a pond or canal.

In addition, households with little capital can invest in raising frogs with trash fish and snails instead of industrial food. On average, they can raise 3-4 broods of frogs a year. If there is a stable output, the economic efficiency is relatively high.
