Heng Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 There might be an export market for it, I recall seeing a 2020 or Dateline NBC several years ago and it seemed quite lucrative. Locally though, no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinasia Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Not too long ago there was the story of the Thai guys that went to Canada in the summers to harvest earthworms. They even got legit working visas to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegemite Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Where can he sell the earth worm , any needs in thailand ? what is the market price ? You're joshing us ... right Naka. Earth worm farms are a lucrative industry in some countries. Anyone that is into organic farming will know the benifits of worms to aireate and fertilize the soil. There are different types of worms believe it or not and the ones that you will find in a compost heap are the ones that will eat anything " that has lived and died ". Food scraps, cardboard ( dead trees with glue ), tea bags, coffee grinds, carpet and probably ex-people... They need lime to digest all this stuff so if they get up and run away the soil is probably not much good for anything and the ph is wrong. They say that, if you give these things the right conditions, you can basically throw them at clay plot and they will turn it into fertile ground.

They say that, if you give these things the right conditions, you can basically throw them at clay plot and they will turn it into fertile ground. Earthworms will live in just about any type of soil as long as there is some organic material there for them to eat. Earthworms are good but not necessary for developing a good soil. The most important thing is to get enough decaying organic material in the soil....organic material in all stages of decomposition.....if you have this then worms will seem to appear out of nowhere. Before I started gardening, the plot was cropped every year as a rice field and only chemical fertilizers were used. The soil was not in very good condition although it was a very good soil type. There were absolutely no earth worms...at least that I ever saw and I pay close attention to the soil when working it so I would have seen them if they were present. After three years of applying organic material (cow manure, rice straw, and rice hulls mostly but also alot of weeds and plant cuttings) I now have worms all over the place...and I never imported any of them....they just naturally appear and populate wherever the soil will support them.....meaning wherever the organic content is high.

eudrilus Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Where can he sell the earth worm , any needs in thailand ? what is the market price ? Hi! Anybody interested to go into earthworms breeding for vermicompost? I have started it in Thailand 2 years ago but left because my wife was expecting our first baby. So now I am interested to make a comeback. I have done more research and found that you can also set-up the farm in Bangkok too. There is plenty of raw material for the worms feedstock in the capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
