In Nigeria, the demand for snails is increasing due to their health benefits and their use in various traditional dishes. With a growing market, snail farming presents a great opportunity for farmers.
Starting a snail farm is relatively easy and requires minimal investment compared to other types of farming. Farmers need a shaded and moist environment for the snails, which can be achieved with simple housing materials. Snails feed on a variety of plants, fruits, and vegetables, making their diet easy to manage. Popular species for farming include the African giant snail, which can grow large and produce many offspring.
The profitability of snail farming is high due to the low initial costs and the high market demand. Snails can be sold fresh or processed, and their shells are also valuable for making crafts and ornaments. A well-maintained snail farm can produce a significant number of snails each year, providing a steady income for farmers. In Nigeria, a kilogram of snails can sell for between ₦20,000 and ₦40,000, making it a lucrative business.

The objective is to kickstart operations with an initial batch of 5,000 Point of Lay snails in the first year.
