Before blaming government or blaming 'Nigeria', as is the usual reaction, each and everyone of you should ask yourself ''why am I not manufacturing and packaging fruit juice in my backyard and selling to the public?''

''why am I not manufacturing and packaging fruit juice in my backyard and selling to the public?''


Lack of consistent power supply(I'll have to generate my own electricity), lack of access to loans(in case you don't know, production is very capital intensive), bad roads(ill spend more money maintaining vehicles), HIGH cost of registering with NAFDAC etc

PS: kindly upload pictures of your own fruit juice manufacturing and packaging set up in YOUR backyard.
