I am pretty sure snail farming is lucrative but how much capital does one need to startup this business, do you need a big land to startup your farm or can you make use of any where.

Even though the snails are very little, they are very expensive to start as a business.

It is one of the businesses that does not need a lot of capital. In this part of the world with a budget of $100 you can get started in this kind of business.

Snail farming does not need a lot of money in my own opinion. I know someone who was into the business and she didn't start with a lot of money.

It is demanding a lot of capital only if the person will begin to pick snails in bushes

Yeah, if you do not have so much capital to start then you can start by picking snails in Bushes. You can employ people to do that and after you pay them.

I was amazed at how simple it is to find all the information you need to start snail farming by doing a few YouTube searches, followed by a Google search for local breeding stock. It's not on my regular diet, but I guess a lot of people love them, especially Europeans. What I read is it is a very lucratibe business to be in, they are not noisy or smelly and you can even raise them indoors.

Hmmm is getting the snails not expensive?

 

[Heatman]

I don't have any knowledge on what it's going to cost to start snail farming. I'm only into fish farming and poultry farming.

Snail farming is not that popular in my country. I assumed that you need a big land area for having this idea.

 

[LoukiaCharilaou]

Snail farming used to be very popular in my country some years ago but not now. It is a business that requires capital.

They say you can farm them on your deck or garden area.

Am pretty sure that it is very cheap to start. Snails farming can be started with as little as $100. Snails eat everything they find in their ways even leaves and leftover foods.

In my view this is somewhat entirely unique idea at least I didn't listen it before but it must be a lucrative business because snails are very costly plus it do have very high demand.

 

[Starmix]

I do not have any idea about that kind of farming. I have not heard that kind here n my place.

there are people who go to The Bush to get these nails themselves. I know someone who does that and she makes a lot of money from it.

Oh wow, which means you have never eaten snail meat before?

The cost of starting a snail farm can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the farm, the location, and the type of snail being raised. Some of the initial costs to consider include:

1. Land and infrastructure: You will need a suitable piece of land for the farm and to build the necessary infrastructure, such as a shed or greenhouse, pens, and fencing.
2. Snail breeding stock: Snails can be purchased from other snail farmers or breeders. The cost of snail breeding stock can range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars, depending on the species and quality.
3. Feed and equipment: You will need to purchase food and supplies for the snails, such as a source of calcium, feeders, and watering equipment. You will also need to purchase tools and equipment for cleaning and maintenance, such as gloves, brushes, and a wheelbarrow.
4. Marketing and advertising: To promote your snail farm and attract customers, you will need to invest in marketing and advertising, such as creating a website, printing flyers, and advertising in local newspapers.
5. Licenses and permits: Depending on your location, you may need to obtain licenses and permits from local, state, and federal authorities.

The cost of starting a snail farm can range from a few thousand dollars for a small operation to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a large-scale operation.
