After coating this mould, the oyster layer is made, which later becomes a pearl.

A one-acre pond can accommodate 25,000 oysters. One oyster may be set up for Rs 25,000. Calculating the cost, you may have to invest Rs 8 lakh on a 1-acre pond.

One oyster produces two pearls. A pearl may cost 120 rupees. The price of a pearl, however, might increase to Rs 200 if the quality is good. You should be aware that if even half of the oysters in your pond do well, you might easily sell them for 30 to 35 lakh rupees a year.
