The Eastern Black Sea has a very important potential in the production of snails and frogs. Associate Professor Home Bilal Kutrup expresses that the frog and snail production in Turkey is based on hunters, "The frog hunters sell to companies that they collect. Firms clean frogs. Cleaned frogs, frozen or exported in the form of canned" said.

[[T] Kutrup stated that the first export links should be made for the production of frog and snail, "I get a large number of phones and mails from many parts of Turkey. They want to learn to build farms for the production of sack and snail. [

Arayanes say that it is very important to make overseas connections because it is not domestic market in Turkey and we provide technical information. He spoke to the outside market problem before those who want to set up such a facility, and that should not work.

Kutrup, which emphasizes that the work for salyangoz and frog is very profitable, "However, the snail and frog hunter made in Turkey without control causes the depletion of these animals. It can not be found frogs and snails to be hunted in the next year. For this, it is necessary to go to production by placing it.

If you understand that snails and frogs are collected from the people in Turkey are collected from Kutrup, "The right integrated facility for frog and salyangoza is not in our country. Such a facility can be a very profitable investment. Especially in Eastern Black Sea, the infrastructure for such a facility is enough.

Kutrup said: "We work on building frog farm in our country. 5 - 6 acres need land. 5 separate types of pools are required in the land. The ideal selling weight of the victim is 150 - 220 grams. This weight is reached in a short time like 10 months. Extreme collection of frogs with hunting can disrupt the stability of nature. However, the production of farms does not harm nature and does not break the balance. Provides regular production and export. "

Economic returns

KTU Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Prof. Home Kenan Steel said that frog and snail production will provide an important currency input to the region.

The Steel, which expresses that the production is exported and an important currency input, because the frog and snail is not consumed in the domestic market, can be credited in this regard. Projects can be made under EU funds and TR 90.
At the same time, fish with black and sea snail can also be processed. [

" Steel defending that the genus of snail in the Muslim neighborhood remains in very old, continued: "30 years ago, black snail is collected and sold in the Black Sea Region. In the region there were snails and-satan trades. Even in some districts, snail processing plants were established. In recent years, snail trading was not done. Because the snails are collected without limit recognition, no longer remain snail in nature.

He said that even if the nesli had been exhausted. Those who can collect are not enough for the operation of a facility. Yet there are various regions of Internal Anatolia, snail processing plants in Konya and Adana.

Salyangoz are from nature toplat. They are trying to export completely. 40% of the world market in the hands of Turkey. We export to EU countries, South America countries, USA, Japan, Lebanon, Switzerland, China, Italy, Germany. Provides a good currency return. The most luxurious restaurants in these countries are considered among the most expensive foods.
