The article highlights the significant challenge faced by farmers and processors, as revealed by Sergei Danileyko, co-founder of Ukrainian Snail Holding, due to the risk of selling snails at a loss this season. This situation is attributed to the low consumer market price, influenced by competition from Spain and Morocco, both of which are experiencing surplus due to quarantine measures. The threat of a second wave of coronavirus is expected to further decrease consumer demand, leading to an economically unreasonable price drop. As a result, some manufacturers have had to dispose of unsold snails, with many feeding them to wild boars due to the inability to sell.
