Is there really that much bird s nest production?

Yes. First of all, swiftlets are not endangered birds, and their number in the world cannot be fully counted, so the bird's nests produced by swiftlets are as uncountable as the honey made by bees. Swiftlets are considered the national bird in Indonesia.

Indonesia produces about 80% of the world's bird's nest production. According to incomplete statistics, the global production is 2000 tons per year. With the development of the bird's nest industry, people's protection of swiftlets has been continuously strengthened, and the output of bird's nests will continue to rise steadily.

Secondly, according to the authoritative Encyclopædia Britannica

According to detailed statistics, the maximum number of swiftlets can reach 1 million. Swiftlets have a strong reproductive ability, a pair of swiftlets lay eggs 3 times and build nests 3 times at different times of the year, as long as they are picked reasonably, it will not affect the normal reproduction of swiftlets.

Finally, bird's nest cannot be compared to other common food because it is Southeast Asian.

A variety of swiftlets made of saliva nests, production has its own particularity and geographical restrictions, so that its value is relatively high, and relative to the world's consumption, is still in short supply, so it is relatively high.

China's native bird's nest is almost none, in the 80s of the 20th century in Hainan Dazhou Island.

It was also found that it is difficult to find now.

Bird's nest production is so small? Why is it enough to feed so many people? Insiders tell "trade secrets".

The production of bird's nest is actually not very large, and many of them are fake on the market now, so you should pay attention to distinguishing when buying bird's nest.

In 2010, 1,514 tons of bird's nest were produced globally, with more than 67% in Indonesia and more than 23% in Malaysia.

Affected by the blood bird's nest incident in 2011, the production of bird's nest did not increase significantly in the following years. In 2016, edible bird's nests in Indonesia were sold for between USD 1,000-10,000 kg.

Main production areas. The main production areas of the nest are from the Philippines in the east to the caves of deserted islands near the coast of Myanmar in the west, and most of them are in the waters of Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Sandakan, Singapore and Thailand, as well as the islands of the South China Sea. Among them, Indonesia has the best quality of bird's nest due to the weather and environment that is most suitable for swallows to live, and Indonesia's bird's nest production is also the largest, followed by Malaysia.

According to statistics, as of the end of 2010, Indonesian bird's nest accounted for 85%-90% of the world's bird's nest production, Malaysia accounted for 5%-10%, Thailand 3%, Vietnam, the Philippines and other places about 2% (refer to the data of the Hong Kong ** Department for several years). A subspecies of Javanese swiftlet, cfuciphagagem ani, has been found on the island of Yannan Dazhou to produce edible bird's nests.

Swiftlets are produced in southwestern China and southeastern Xizang, and the earliest well-documented works are "Materia Medica" and "Benjing Fengyuan". There are six species of swiftlets that produce bird's nests because the saliva secreted by various birds of the genus Collocalia in the family Apodidae is mixed with their down and condensed on cliffs or farmhouses.

The world's annual production of bird's nest is currently around 1,200 tons, and swiftlets are the birds that produce bird's nests, which are only distributed in the Malay Archipelago. At present, Indonesia is the largest producer of bird's nest, accounting for more than 65% of the total output of the station, followed by Malaysia with about 30%. A small number of producing countries are Vietnam, Thailand, etc.

The output of bird's nest is about 600 tons, and the general swiftlet makes about 3 nests a year, and with the management and picking that can be done now, this yield is still on the rise year by year.

About 600 tons!

Properly harvested and managed.

The volume is also growing year by year.

The production of bird's nest in China is very small.

Due to the proximity to the Tropic of Cancer, bird's nest mining has a strong seasonality, the output is scarce, and the total amount of bird's nest is less than 1/10,000 of the global bird's nest production. It is expected that there will be no significant change in domestic bird's nest production in the next few years.

At present, the product forms of bird's nest are mainly dried bird's nest, ready-to-eat bird's nest and freshly stewed bird's nest. Different types of bird's nest processing processes are different, as shown in the figure below, according to the technical development route, the technology of the bird's nest industry is now divided into basic technology, deep processing technology and biotechnology: the basic technology mainly includes cleaning and sorting, soaking, stewing, etc.; The deep processing technology mainly includes sterilization and packaging, nutrition preservation, taste blending, etc.; Biotechnology is the application of enzymatic hydrolysis technology, extraction, separation and other means of deep processing of bird's nest, which is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields.

Summary. Dear, hello, not all bird's nests on the market are real, and some of the bird's nests on the market are imported, but some of them are indeed fake, so you must consider them.

Dear, hello Pai Heng, not all the bird's nests on the market are real, and now some of the bird's nests on the market are imported, but some of them are indeed fake, so you must consider it.

Bird's nest is a nest made by swiftlets during reproduction, because there is no swiftlet in our country, bird's nests are imported, and it is a relatively valuable tonic, generally sold in large-scale **, we may not be able to touch the bird's nest when we go to Hengchong, so it is difficult to distinguish the true and false bird's nest. Bird's nest is per gram, and the price of one gram is more than dozens of yuan, and some unscrupulous shops choose counterfeit methods or fake bird's nest with cheap ingredients in order to make huge profits, and then sell it to customers. Such fake bird's nest not only does not have any nutrients, but also many goals are exceeded, which has a great impact on our health

There are as many as 28 types of bird's nests, and if you want to buy the same type of bird's nest every time, you must know that they are all bird's nests picked from the same origin (e.g. Sumatra, Indonesia), and only then can you process the bird's nest at the same cooking time and taste the same taste. 2. Look at the hair of the bird's nest:

Different types of bird's nest also have different "hair heads" ("hair heads" are the difference between the weight of the bird's nest and the dry body after it is wet, the greater the multiple, that is, the better the "hair head", the more it is eaten), and the general official bird's nest has 6 8 times the "hair head". 3. See if the bird's nest is clean: the less fine hairs, the better.

4. Pick the cup type: the finer the head and feet at both ends of the bird's nest, the more beautiful. 5. See if the bird's nest is dry and light:

It is dry and contains less water as the top grade. The regulatory authorities remind the public that the safest way is to buy bird's nest from some larger and more reliable bird's nest specialty stores, so that not only the quality will be high, but also the quality problems can be recovered in case they are found.
