This is a huge opportunity for entrepreneurs to take advantage of but to do this,it is necessary to have a unique selling point for your products.

Plantain flour is highly sought by diabetic patients and old people that does not like sugar.
Therefore your potential customer should be diabetic patients and older people.

Profit is what is left when you all the production.cost have been recovered.
Starting a profitable flour business require that you recouped your investment within 2-3 years of production.
Anything less than that,there is a need to restrategies.

Q:Someone asked: How can my plantain flour be fortified with Vitamin A to differentiate it from other brands.
A:Firstly,Plantain flour should not be fortified with Vitamin A because plantain flour is very rich in Vitamin A.
Fortification is done when there is deficiency of nutrients in a food product.
Other flours such as wheat flour,cassava flour can.be fortified with Vitamin A which are very deficient in the vitamins.
