Hello everybody .

   With many thanks . 😊

Hi good evening... I thought I should stop by to wish you good luck in your new business as I love snails cooked the Moroccan way especially in winter...

Thank you so much 🌹 
I hope we could be as good as your people in snail farming 😊

I'm sure you will be great insha Allah, we prefer to eat snails rather than raising them it's easier lol :D

That's really nice of you thanks!!!
Regarding your question about marketing, you can try Alibaba its a great website and easy to use, you create a free business account and if you get lucky and you start receiving inquiries,  you can upgrade your account to verified, which will make your customers trust you more. They also provide logistics services and you can close your deals through the website.
I didn't use my account for 1 year and a half but I still brows products to keep updated.

That's actually a vey good suggestion. I second that.

GuestPoster3485

Thank you too much for your advice 😊I will try it  ✌🏼

masalma

You most welcome glad I could help...
If you need hep with the website plz let me know.
Can I know if you did a feasibility study?
Are you planing to sell only snails, did you think about using their slime for cosmetics it's trending now, also the eggs can be used as caviar.  :/

ronMcnelo

we have alot of snail here in our place

GuestPoster3485

Well, till now I am doing the study useing another studies from other countries and the most difficult part as I said is the marketing .
About what I am planning to sell, basically I will start with selling live snails & their caviar, but if the market needs more then welcome 😁
And I will ask you if I need any help of course, I should exploit that 😁
Thank you again 😊

masalma

For the market I'm convinced that Alibaba is the best place to start from and by the way I took time to search for snail their and for my surprise it was full of snail products live cooked/frozen and canned, caviar and snail slime all you can imagine just name it!  :top:
I also got for you this website named Espaceagro it's full of snail producers and a lot of them are searching for partners just in-case.
Ps: in European countries a snail takes about 6 months to be mature in Morocco 3 to 4 months, half time double production, I think in Egypt will be the same as the climate is almost same.  :D

GuestPoster3485

Yes, I searched on Alibaba and seems it will be an easy way In sha Allah .
And you are right about the climate thing, specially during the spring . ✌🏼
I am soo thankful for your concern 🤗 and I will keep you posted till our snails reaches you 😁

masalma

You are most welcome any time... can't wait to hear the updates and hopefully soon insha Allah.

Hey there,

My modest input to the discussion is that some of the biggest markets for snails and related products are Italy and France. It will be good to focus yoyr marketing efforts on these two countries.

In addition, you can consider making your snail farm in the EU, which will be of a great help when targeting the EU market. Moreover it is possible to apply for EU financing for constructing a snail farm, which will be of a great help.

I live in Bulgaria and such an opportunity here is provided by the Rural Development Programme. Combined with the low tax levels - 10 % corporate tax and 5 % divident tax this is really a great opportunity.

But I am in Egypt, I think it will be difficult about the EU finance !

GuestPoster3485

Yes! Snails eats cucumber,cabbage, turnip leaves, the leaves of carrots and radish and so many other plants . 😁

Re: "But I am in Egypt, I think it will be difficult about the EU finance !"

Actually, if you establish a company in an EU country, e.g. Bulgaria, this company will be eligible for EU financing regardless of the origin of its owner.

Forget about that edible snails farm, take pictures of snails biting on leaves and share'em instead. : D
