Overview

A growing agricultural industry, snail farming, also known as heliciculture, has gained popularity recently as a result of the rising demand for snails in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and culinary sectors. This low-investment endeavor presents a potential possibility for farmers, businesspeople, and even amateurs as global markets continue to develop. The principles of snail farming, its advantages, and the elements influencing its rising popularity will all be covered in this chapter. The Allure of Raising Snails The cheap initial investment required for snail farming is one of its main draws. In contrast to conventional animal farming, which often requires large outlays for land, tools, and feed, snail farming may be started on a smaller scale with very little money. For example, you may begin with a backyard or small piece of land and house your snails in basic greenhouses or wooden boxes. Because of its accessibility, it's a great business concept for those with little funds. Furthermore, snails are very adaptive and robust animals. They are appropriate for farming in a variety of geographical places since they need less acreage than other animals and may survive in a variety of climates. As herbivores, snails mostly consume fruits and vegetables, which are often obtained from agricultural waste. By decreasing waste, this not only decreases feed prices but also encourages sustainable agricultural methods. Increasing Snail Demand There are a number of reasons why snail demand is rising. Snails are regarded as a delicacy in the culinary world, especially in European cuisine. Foods like escargot, which are made from snails fried in butter with garlic, have captured the attention of people all over the world. Snail growers now have a profitable niche in the booming gourmet food industry.
