Snail farmer pours water at a snail farm in Azaguie on November 23, 2023. The use of pesticides and regular deforestation in Ivory Coast where nearly 90% of forests have disappeared in 63 years mainly due to agricultural exploitation are fatal to the wild snails, the number of which is decreasing more and more from year to year. Livestock farms for snails of various sizes are increasing. Today there are some 1,500 throughout the country. The flesh of the snails, very popular with the Ivorians and in the neighboring countries of the Gulf of Guinea, is eaten with a spicy sauce or grilled on skewers, the slime is used to make soap, shower gel or ointment, while the powder of the shell is used in the manufacture of other cosmetics, pharmacopoeia and animal feed.
