A standard two storey 20 X 70 feet shop house will have a build up area of 2800-square feet. This means that such a shop house can produce 2800 edible-birdnest in every 4-month, thus annual production of 8400 edible-birdnest. (On average, swiftlets have three broods per year and usually lay two eggs per brood)
Base on 110 edible-birdnest that sum up to a total of 1 kilogram (about 9 gram per edible-birdnest), and assuming the selling price of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 4,5000 per kilogram, thus 8400 edible-birdnest equals to 76 kilograms, and the value of RM 342,000 is the return of investment generated annually. By projection, within 3 years, the value of RM 1 million is attainable. |
