Generally speaking, breeding 1,000 snails can earn about 103,000 yuan a year.

Generally speaking, as long as you master mature breeding technology and have a stable sales channel.

2. What are the prospects for breeding white jade snails in 2022?

The white jade snail is a treasure from head to toe. It is a kind of aquatic product with high nutritional value, high comprehensive utilization value, large demand, and deep processing. Its shell can also be used to make handicrafts and processed into high-protein calcium supplement feed for animals, with extremely high utilization efficiency. At present, the domestic and foreign markets of white jade snails are relatively broad, and the market price is also high. At the same time, the investment in breeding white jade snails is small, and it also has the characteristics of quick results and high benefits. The pressure of breeding is less than that of other breeding projects. It can be seen that the current prospects for breeding white jade snails are good.

3. Is there a future for snail farming?

1. The efficacy and function of snail

Snails are salty, cold, and slightly toxic, but they have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and are diuretic. Scientists believe that if humans eat snails, it can have a nutritional and beauty effect on our skin and hair. Moreover, it is very nutritious and low in fat. It is most suitable for people with weak gastrointestinal digestion and physical weakness.

2. Market price of snails in previous years

There are many types of snails, and most people choose to breed white jade snails. According to the information I found, the purchase price of white jade snails was 4 to 5 yuan per catty in 2014, and the highest price could reach 7 yuan. In 2016, the market price averaged 5 yuan per catty, and the highest price was 14 yuan per kilogram. Until now, the price of white jade snails has not changed much, which shows that breeding snails is safe.

III. Cost and profit of snail farming in 2019

According to some snail farmers, we can calculate its cost and profit. Taking raising 500 snails as an example, snail breeding seedlings cost 3,000 yuan, and other expenses such as farm construction, feed and drug management are assumed to cost 7,000 yuan, with a total cost of 10,000 yuan. 500 seedlings can produce 300,000 to 500,000 small snails each year. Each seedling can produce about 150 commercial snails annually, so there are 500*150=75,000 snails. Calculated at 35 grams per snail, 5,250 kilograms of snails can be produced. One ton of snails is worth 10,000 yuan. Deducting the cost, the profit is 16,250 yuan.

4. Development prospects and sales of snail farming in 2019

Snails have a very short maturity period, a high survival rate, and fast reproduction. They are very helpful to human health. However, snail farming is a niche farming. Many people see that others are very successful in this regard, so they blindly follow. Indeed, some rural farmers will work together to gradually expand their snail farming scope and make great profits. The export of snails earns foreign exchange. The international market demand for Chinese snail meat is 30,000 to 50,000 tons, especially in some European and American countries. The demand is large, so the development prospect of snail farming is very large. However, to farm snails, we must first see if there is a market. Only when farming, processing, sales, and consumption are unblocked, can farming have a way out. Some ordinary people will be easily deceived, thinking that farming 30 snails can make a profit of 30,000 yuan. This statement is really exaggerated, so those who want to engage in this field should pay special attention and not be easily deceived. Before farming, you must be fully prepared, analyze the prospects, whether you have the potential in this area, etc. After all, starting a business is not a trivial matter.

4. What are the prospects and sales of snail farming?

The prospects and sales of snail farming are generally not optimistic in China. Snail farming itself is a relatively unpopular industry, and there is no habit of eating snails in China. Most consumers do not accept snails, and sales itself is a problem.

5. What is the prospect of breeding white jade snails? Is it easy to raise them in winter? I want to breed them for the first time and have no experience?

To be honest, white jade snails are really easy to keep. I have kept white jade snails. As long as you give them some cabbage leaves and keep the box clean, they are very easy to keep and can survive at any time. And they reproduce very quickly. But is the market prospect of this snail not very good? Because white jade snails are mostly used for cooking in France, and the meat of white jade snails is used in French restaurants. In China, people don't seem to be used to cooking with white jade snail meat. So after so many years, white snails still rarely appear on the table. It is recommended that you investigate the market prospects before breeding them in large quantities.

6. What are the costs and profits of breeding white jade snails?

The breeding cost of white jade snails is relatively high, and the general profit is only maintained at about 10% under high costs. First of all, the domestic market recognition of white jade snails is not high. It is a niche consumer product with limited sales. The export has extremely high requirements for quality and quarantine, which invisibly increases the cost. It is recommended to be cautious.

7. Is it really profitable to breed white jade snails? How much profit can it make?

Whether the white jade snail can make money depends on the market. Many people have analyzed the breeding prospects of the white jade snail, which are nothing more than the following points.

White jade snails are valuable and easy to breed

The analysis of the breeding prospects of white jade snails is mainly conducted from two aspects: market value and breeding. First, the market value of white jade snails has both nutritional value, medicinal value and beauty value, and is known as "one of the four famous dishes in the world"; second, the breeding of white jade snails has the characteristics of small investment, quick results, high efficiency, high management and no pollution.

Well, according to their analysis, the annual investment for breeding 1,000 white jade snail seeds is about 10,000 yuan. After breeding commercial white jade snails, they can be sold at a price of 11 yuan per catty, bringing in 88,506 yuan in income, with a profit of more than 70,000 yuan.

After seeing this analysis, I guess many people will be eager to try it. However, don't forget that this is just a theoretical analysis. The key lies in sales. If you can't sell it, it's useless no matter how well you raise it.

The sales market of white jade snail

In China, people still eat mainly pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck and goose. Therefore, if we want to breed white jade snails, the market is obviously narrow with the general public as the consumer group, and the later sales will not be ideal. In addition, there are not many companies that process white jade snails as raw materials, and the consumption is limited. Therefore, from the perspective of the entire domestic market, the market for white jade snails has not really taken shape.

At present, the white jade snails farmed in China are mainly for export. The annual international demand for snails is about 400,000 tons, and white jade snails have obvious advantages among many snail varieties and can be exported. However, it is difficult for an ordinary farmer to reach the point where export is the main focus!

Therefore, in fact, the prospects for breeding white jade snails mainly for the domestic market are not very ideal.

Well, that’s all I have to say about the question of whether breeding white jade snails is profitable or not. You are welcome to comment and discuss.

8. What are the prospects and sales of edible snail farming?

The industry is not optimistic about the breeding prospects and sales of edible snails. Edible snails are not accepted by the majority of consumers in China and are a niche consumer product. Chinese people have not had the custom of eating snails since ancient times. It is recommended to enter the industry with caution.
