What You Need To Know About Meat
Processing And Packaging ,
Meat processing and packaging
business
is a very good business you can do
in
Nigeria and any other country for that
matter, but you need to get yourself a
solid business plan if you want to
actualize your business goals. It will
do
you a lot of good to seek expert
advice
and to learn from those who have
some
form of experience in this business.
Considering the world consumption
of
meat statistics, meat business is one
that has a ready market especially in
Nigeria. Your business will naturally
progress especially if it is well
positioned in a location where people
care for quality meats. The difference
in price of meat purchased directly
from a slaughter in the local market
and one purchased from a meat store
or off a superstore shelf is very
negligent.
Processed meat can be classified as
sausages, cured whole muscles cuts
or
restructured meat products so you
need to identify with a niche before
you start.
Considerations for Meat processing
business You need to do some
serious
considerations in the following areas
before you set out to do your
business
Type of meat:
Chicken, beef, pork lamd and goat are
the main meat
that is processed for sale and you
need
to make a choice of the type of meat
you
will be processing. Also, you need to
find
out what meat if any is forbidden in
your
business area so as not to irritate
your
customers when they find out that
you
stock what they forbid.
Slaughtering:
Will you be slaughtering your meat
yourself or you will be buying from a
slaughter where you have made a
good
bargain? If you will be buying from a
slaughter, then you need to consider
if
they have the requisite permit and
the
required levels of hygiene to do
business.
Processing: you will definitely need
the
services of a butcher to process the
meat for you and you will need some
meat processing equipment for this
job
as well as for cleaning up the meat.
Nigerians buy meat processed as
whole
flesh, semi boned or complete bone.
Packaging:
Just like meat processing equipment,
you will also need meat packaging
materials. All these you can research,
or visit someone who is already in
the
business and learn. You will need
meat
packaging machines, meat packaging
labels for branding your products,
Storage and distribution:
You will definitely need some form
on
refrigeration for your meat products
to
avoid spoilage. Depending on your
business capital and business
strategy,
you may also want to invest in a
mobile
refrigerator to enable your
distribution be efficient. Also, like every other
business, you need to deliberately
plan your distribution techniques.
Irrespective of the country, you may
currently reside in, you can also
research into this business idea and
start benefiting from it. And finally,
do not forget to get the relevant
operations permit and business registration so that you will be operating legally and professional too.
