Hi snail farm experts. Just got to Nigeria on Wednesday after an intensive training on snail farming. I want to expand my investments and go into snail farming. I know about the A. Achatina and the A. Marginata. I know the a. Achatina can produce between 100 to 400 eggs in a year and the marginata can produce between 10 to 40. But what I do not understand here in Nigeria is why do investors invest more into the marginata as it doesn't make any business sense to me. If the A. Achatina produces more. I guess that means more money right? But most farms I've seen invest in marginata. Pls I need to understand why this is. I wanna be careful before I open the farm. Cheers guys.

SNAIL KWA FOR THIS MODERN AGE?

Marginata appear more like the common snail in Nigeria. I am also doing research on the snail farming thing.

Let's share knowledge.

Just because of the size,the A.achatina is quite smaller compared to d A marginata , I guess its the reason for the concentration on marginata

Mortality rate is low and the size is the largest

they do so simply cause they can afford to... the cost of rearing s ails differs n so does the returns... look at it like spending more to get more, but being a first timer i dont advice you to swing that way... wer do you intend starning up??
