SNAIL FARMING
Our ongoing snail Farming project, located in Akwa Ibom, is planned to be scalable to cater for, the High demand of the Snail Market.
Snails are environment-friendly, because, unlike poultry or pigs, neither the snail nor its droppings smell offensive.
Snails can also be reared in the backyard. Inputs Capital, technical, labor and financial inputs in simple snail farming are relatively low compared to those in other types of livestock farming (poultry, pigs, goats, sheep, cattle).
Snail meat is a good source of protein. It is rich in iron and calcium, but low in fat and cholesterol compared to other protein sources like poultry and pigs.
