Cost of Snails per kg in Lagos, Nigeria (2024)

Snails are of great economic benefit and have great Return on investment (ROI). Snail rearing is one of the most profitable businesses anyone can think of. Starting the farm in a commercial scale requires great capital (funding).

Snails are very expensive in Nigeria, this is because many people are still not into the business and as such, production is less than demand. Before starting a snail farm, the first thing you should secure is good breeds of snails suitable for rearing. There are different species of Snails, they’re:

  • Achatina Achantina
  • Achatina Marginata
  • Achatina Fulica

The best among them is Achatina Marginata. This is for someone who wants to go into profitable commercial Snail farming. In the Achatina Marginata family, there are the Jumbo specie Marginata and the Non-Jumbo specie Marginata. The difference between the two is very clear. The jumbo specie as the name sounds grows faster and bigger than the non jumbo specie. The Non-Jumbo specie has a growth limit while the jumbo specie grows without limit. The Non-Jumbo specie can never grow to jumbo size while the jumbo specie grows to jumbo size in just a year +.
