Indonesia is known not only for its tuna, octopus, and shrimp—but also for its rising star in the global mollusk trade: the Babylon Snail, locally known as Keong Macan. Recognized for its tiger-patterned shell, chewy texture, and delicate flavor, Babylon Snail is increasingly valued in international markets.
More than a seafood delicacy, Babylon Snail is now being positioned as a sustainable marine export commodity — thanks to improved harvesting practices and traceable supply chains from Indonesia.
🐚 Why Babylon Snail is a Premium Export Product
