At present, consumers in most parts of China have not formed the habit of eating snails, and white jade snail products are mainly used for export. However, there are few white jade snail processing plants in China, and the total amount of processing and export is limited. In our province, there is not a company with mature breeding technology and a complete industrial system of base, scientific research, processing and sales. Therefore, the sales channels of white jade snails are relatively narrow and the market demand is extremely limited. In recent years, the domestic edible snail market has become popular. According to the relevant personage of the Center for Economic Animal and Plant Breeding of Huazhong Agricultural University, there are many informal units in the market now, and they publish false price information and sales information, so that the price of a snail once rose to more than 20 yuan, which greatly exceeded the normal international and domestic market level, resulting in the white jade snail breeding industry in a chaotic state. According to experts from the provincial agricultural technology station, most farmers who developed white jade snails in the early stage were confident after listening to these exaggerated or false information, and eventually lost their money because of poor market sales.
For those who have started to breed snails, experts have specially reminded them that white jade snails are not only a kind of nutritious food, but also an intermediate host of human and animal parasites and a variety of pathogenic bacteria, which are harmful to crops, so management must be strengthened in the production process.
