How You Can Preserve Your Snails For Export In Nigeria – Part 1
In today's article we are going to deal with a very important topic in snail farming, which is how to preserve your snails for export. You need to pay attention in order to follow us well in this article.
The point is that preparing snails for local consumption is quite different from preparing it for export, because different countries have different requirements when it comes to food consumption. What the Americans need is different from what the Europeans need, these often depend on different legislations in their various countries.
Therefore you must be very careful as any mistake can lead to rejection of your cargo and you do not have the privilege of begging for mercy as you are not dealing in local transactions.
What many newbies don't understand is that if there is a mistake in the quality of goods that you have already sent out and they were discovered at the entry point you can take your cargo back and go for correction if possible.
But what of a situation where the commodities are perishable?
In that situation the possibility of recovery is very remote. You can incur losses that can throw you out of business. You can imagine if you had borrowed the money you used to start the business, how are you going to deal with the repayment of the loan?
Therefore you must be very sure you know what you are doing before sending out your goods for export.
I have encountered many instances where new exporters just heard about a hot export product in town, they hurriedly went and borrowed money, sometimes from financial institutions to start the export of that product without having any deep idea of the business and without a mentor at their back.
In 75% of the cases they will fail and lose their money. You have to be careful, look for an experienced mentor to guide you through all the processes before you commit your money into the new export business.
Export business is a specialized business that follows laid down principles and procedures. Do not gamble as you can never get away with any trick.
I am saying all this because you are going into an export business, if it is a local business I will not worry myself too much because if you make a mistake you can always come back and make corrections and only make some little losses.
But in exports any little mistake can wipe out your capital within a very short period of time, therefore be very careful.
Processing snails for export is a very highly lucrative business that investors need to consider and go into as the benefits and profit margins are huge.
Snails are in high demand locally in Nigeria, West African sub-region and internationally, it attracts Premium price in the international market because they are a good source of protein, quite nutritious, and most importantly can be farmed in the country.
But I must warn you, if you decide to farm snails you must be patient as snails take about a year to reach maturity and be ready for consumption and export.
