Now, snails are becoming part of Azerbaijan’s export story. Recognising this dual market, Azerbaijan’s certified export permission is designed to tap into both food and cosmetic supply chains. Leading producers and exporters currently include Helicicultura (Spain), Snail Farm (Italy), Helix Aspersa and Escargots de France (France), Snail World (USA), Snail King (Poland) and Lumaca Madonita (Italy). As a result, demand spans cosmetic firms in Europe, Asia and North America, creating potential secondary markets for Azerbaijan’s exports. While energy exports, oil and gas, dominate Azerbaijan’s export earnings, non-energy export sectors have been growing.
