What is the market prospect of meat snake?

According to a survey data of relevant departments, since 1998, the sales of meat snakes in all parts of China have been increasing year by year, with the annual growth rate above 10%, and the price has also increased year by year, with an average increase of about 15%. But there is still a gap in the market and the price is high, especially in winter.

Because the meat snake is big and has a lot of meat, the meat is delicious and tender, which has high nutritional and health care value. It is a delicious food for hotel and family banquet guests. With the continuous improvement of people's living quality and level, more and more consumers favor snake meat, which drives the sales of meat snakes to increase substantially. The consumption of snake meat in major cities in China has increased significantly. Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Yiwu, Beijing, Chongqing, Kunming, Sanya, Chengdu, Qingdao, Harbin and Hong Kong are the main consumer markets of snake meat in China at present, among which the monthly sales volume in Guangzhou is over 600 tons, that in Hong Kong is about 100 tons, and that in Shenzhen and Shanghai is 30 tons. There are more than 30 kinds of snake meat on the market, with different prices, including cheap water snake, yellow snake, high-priced king snake, water snake and so on. As meat snakes meet the needs of different consumer groups, their sales have increased greatly, making them the "new favorite" of the snake market.

People in the industry have their own opinions on the main reasons for the rise of meat snakes: the main reasons are the sharp increase in market consumption, the increasing export volume, and the prohibition of hunting rare wild snakes by the state, while the domestic artificial snake breeding started late and did not form a large-scale breeding scale, which is also the direct reason for the market gap. The sharper the contradiction between supply and demand of meat snakes, the higher the market price.

Meat snakes have large sales, low investment, rough feeding tolerance and good reproduction, which has created a broad development space for artificial breeding of snakes. All localities should take market consumption as the guide, vigorously develop artificial snake breeding, and make it a good project for farmers' friends and laid-off workers to re-employment.
