This allows the oysters to create the environment that is required for cultivating pearls. after which they are taken out and surgery is done.

Let’s get into the economics of a Pearl Farm. It costs 25 to 35 rupees to prepare one oyster. After preparation, we can get two pearls out of one oyster. One pearl sells for a minimum price of 120 rupees in the market. If the quality is good then you can get more than 200 rupees. If you put 25 thousand shells in a one-acre pond, then it costs about 8 lakh rupees. Assume that even if some oysters are wasted in the course of preparation, more than 50% of the oysters come out safe. With this one can easily earn 30 lakh rupees annually.
