CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it reliable to raise snails? Zhihu (Is it reliable to raise snails? Zhihu full text)

1. 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.

2. Is snail farming reliable?

Snail farming is unreliable, the market is small, the farming costs are high, and the technology is not mature yet.

3. Is it reliable to raise snails in Hubei Xinghong Agriculture?

It should be true. Hubei TV has reported it. And we have several companies breeding white jade snails here. Hubei Xinghong Agriculture is also an agricultural cooperative supported by the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

4. Is Hubei Baiyuyuan snail breeding base reliable?

Hubei Baiguyuan snail breeding base is not reliable. It is a scam. He just wants to sell his snail seedlings, but when you really raise them, he refuses to buy them when you ask him to buy them.

5. Is white jade snail farming a scam?

Yes. The white jade snail scam has been common since the 1980s. White jade snails are mainly for export and are not common in the domestic consumer market. They are generally only available in Western restaurants, and the market is very limited. The breeding technology of white jade snails is very high. Some companies just want to sell seeds to cheat money and do not have solid technical guidance. What's more hateful is that many companies actually sell ordinary snails to farmers as breeding snails. When farmers breed, they have basically no control over temperature, humidity, soil pH, disease prevention and control, etc., which can easily cause seed death and suffer losses. Even if the breeding is successful, the purchase price of pure fresh meat of white jade snails in China is only 30 yuan/kg, and frozen meat is 60 yuan/kg, which is not the high price promised by these companies at all. They completely use the farmers' desire to get rich overnight to commit fraud. Suggestions on the white jade snail breeding scam:

1. If the price is higher than the actual market price, there must be something wrong.

2. We have seen people scam white jade snails more than a decade ago. They sold them at high prices, but no one bought them. They were not tasty to eat, and no one wanted them to sell. So we had to admit that we were out of luck. The market for snails is very important. If there is no market, don't raise them.
