UKRAINEWORLD: INTRODUCING THE INNOVATIVE ORGANIC SNAIL FARM JUST 20 MINUTES FROM THE UKRAINIAN CAPITAL

Mykhaylo Ravlychenko owns one of the biggest snail farms in Kyiv Oblast. Mykhaylo, whose last name means “snail” in Ukrainian, claims that the decision to open his business was fate. With just four acres of land at his disposal, he currently raises up to 50 tons of snails per year. While the coronavirus crisis has temporarily scuppered export plans, he has managed to tap into growing domestic demand for the delicacy.
