SNAIL FARMING: BE CLOSE TO WEALTH AND NATURE If you are reading this article, you’re either already in snail farming business or you are seriously considering taking the plunge. Of the many fields of agriculture that you could have chosen, you have picked one of the best. Snail is still in short supply in Nigeria. Preliminary market analysis suggests that an additional 25,000 tons, or a 100 percent increase, can easily be absorbed. There is more than enough evidence to suggest that snail breeding is a profitable business in the country. Harness the snails-the nature bank vault for health and wealth. Snail production is a lot of fun with much to learn everyday. Farmers raise snail for many reasons. Some are into point of lay snail production, while some farmers are raising snail for table. Raise snails for your home consumption or for commercial business, the time is right to utilize a natural food resource that is literally at your feet. Snail producers traditionally sell or market their snail to cold rooms, local markets, top class hotels, restaurants or sales to local residents. Nigeria alone is targeting about two-metric tons of yearly snail production not only for domestic market but also for export. A snail farmer does not have to invest from breeders-point of lay to table size snail farming. An investor can specialize just on a segment of the snail business. Below are secure areas of special concentration. Direct snail production by farming There exist vast suitable sites for commercial snail farming in different parts of the country. As little as one plot of land could be engaged under small or large scale farming, while several hectares have the potential of producing more than 10 metric tons per hectares a year with right species of snail. High yielding, quality snail breeders are available for sale at Jovana Farms. Place your order now! Snail breeding-stock production This is one of the most lucrative aspects of snail farming.

Today, we have developed a delivery system that brought the snails to the doorstep of our clients. Rather than the customers coming to the farm to buy, we would deliver it direct to their farms or kitchen. If you solve a problem, people will pay you for it.

Integrated Farming Integrated farming system is very feasible with snail production e.g. snail-banana-earthworm-plantain-and grasscutter farming. Fresh snail restaurant Table-size snails end up with the consumers. Restaurants are already springing up in the country. Values are added to prepared snail and large demand is recorded daily. Interested investors can locate bigger market in exclusive residential areas and supermarkets. Nigerians are fast food “freaks when it comes to snail pepper soup” archachatina marginata specie of snail is the biggest and most preferred. Live snail marketing This is one of the most common aspects of snail sales. The business is lucrative and turnover is immediate. Snails mongers involve in this business know where there’re snail farms and when they are harvesting. They arrange their programmes so that buyers are already waiting before the procurement of snail. Some of them deal with beer parlours and restaurants which engage in massive regular demands. Snail Export Currently, India is exporting prawns into the country. Therefore, the thought that Nigeria cannot export snail has been debunked. Even though, such venture would enjoy special export license. Large snail farms have the ability to explore this initiative. I’m convinced that the Nigerian Export Promotion Council will be interested in such ventures. For export, snails are killed by dipping them into hot water in an erated position and boiled for 13-25 minutes. After cooling, the flesh is scooped out of the shell and the edible portions chopped out.
