Abstract

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo determinar los beneficios que ofrece la helicicultura en el ámbito internacional. Para ello, se presenta un estudio de caso que fue aplicado en el municipio de San Vicente Ferrer (Antioquia), siendo este un referente en el manejo que se le ha dado a la helicicultura como actividad económica. Para ello, a través de la aplicación de una metodología cualitativa, esta investigación empleó un procedimiento exploratorio y descriptivo, el cual plantea la comparación de los efectos obtenidos que aún no han sido descubiertos para el bienestar de la sociedad. El estudio de caso, partiendo desde la revisión documental en función de las variables estéticas, biológicas, económicas, sociales y ambientales, arrojó como resultado que los beneficios de la helicicultura transcienden más allá de la variable económica, siempre y cuando se adopte un modelo eficiente de producción. Finalmente, luego del análisis realizado, se concluyó que la actividad es poco conocida en el medio, que se requieren permisos y licencias sanitarias de buenas prácticas para la cría del molusco Helix aspersa máxima, pero sobre todo de un conocimiento, tanto del modelo de producción sostenible en función de lo que representa la inversión, la infraestructura, la capacitación, el estudio de factibilidad financiera y las acciones de desarrollo, así como del estatus global del mercado, esto con la intención de consolidar esfuerzos para potencializar el comercio exterior, aprovechando la demanda de este producto en el mercado europeo y anglosajón.
