Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC), through its Women’s Bootcamp, continues to drive grassroots agribusiness development with a recent hands-on training in snail farming for women in Kadjebi, Oti Region.
The training focused on equipping participants with practical knowledge and skills to start and manage small-scale, sustainable snail farms. Some of the topics covered include snail housing, feeding, breeding, and harvesting techniques, as well as recordkeeping and business planning.
To support post-training implementation, each participant received a snail farming startup kit, including snails, housing materials, and feeding resources, ensuring they can immediately put their knowledge into practice.
“Snail farming is one of the most accessible and profitable agribusinesses for women in rural areas,” said Mercy Tuffour, Gender and Safeguarding Specialist who is lead for the training. “This training is about building skills and opening doors to long-term income, for this agribusiness venture with low startup costs, high nutritional value, and strong market potential in Ghana,” she added.
Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, Executive Director of KIC, added: “By giving women the skills and resources to start agribusinesses like snail farming, we are investing in sustainable livelihoods and building resilient rural economies.”
With interventions like this, the KIC Women’s Bootcamp continues to unlock economic opportunities for women, while promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive agricultural development.
