Rice paddy crabs refer to river crabs (such as Chinese mitten crabs and hairy crabs) raised in rice paddy ecosystems, achieving synergistic production between rice and crabs through the "rice-crab co-cultivation" model. The crabs' activity in the rice paddies improves soil aeration, reduces pests, and lowers pesticide use, while the rice paddies provide a habitat for the crabs. This solves the problems of water pollution, high disease incidence, and low economic benefits associated with traditional single-crop farming, achieving a win-win situation for both ecology and economy. The average price of this product is approximately US$10/kg, with global sales of approximately 110,000 tons. Rice paddy crabs are a unique aquatic product that balances ecological and economic benefits. Although the market size is smaller than that of traditional river crabs, its growth potential is significant. Its core advantages lie in its green ecology, dual benefits, and branding potential. In the future, it will rely on organic certification, intelligent management, and e-commerce channels to open up a larger market.
