My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 6:41am On Feb 27 |
So, people have always been asking. I have 200k/500k/1million what business can I do? Here is an insight for you. You can make dried fruits and bag them. Off season, you can brand package and resell. I went an early morning farmers’ market to buy fresh, ripe and sweet agbalumo at wholesale price. I took it to my place and employed 4 people to help me remove the flesh and I spread to dry on a wide sackspread for like 4 to 5 days. Then bag it. See pictures

The second batch is done and in the sackspread. I intend to also do same for other fruits ensuring they are ripe and sweet during purchase: 1. Mango 2. Pineapple 3. Coconut 4. Cashew fruit |

I’d be doing the other fruits when I’m done with the second batch of Agbalumo. I will need to do mangoes in very large quantity because not only do I want to sell as snacks, I also need mango powder stored up in like 20 bags (25/50kg) till the next mango season. |
Re: My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 6:54am On Feb 27 |
If you can do dried mango powder, I just might be buying from you. |

olushollys: Dried fruits are way expensive than fresh fruits when packaged and especially when they are off season. You can sell at 300% of your cost price and it can be marketed digitally and directly like every other snacks or item. |
Re: My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 11:44am On Feb 27 |
SocialJustice: You can market it the way other things are marketed. It's not difficult. |
Re: My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 11:48am On Feb 27 |
matify83: They can be branded and packaged to dried fruit snacks. They can also be blended to powder and made into packaged juices. Example, mango drink powder. I purchased 25kg from China for my business. If anyone was producing it in Nigeria, I wouldn't need to purchase from China.

Pls can you teach me |
Re: My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 2:25pm On Feb 27 |
akata1: It's very simple. 1. Go to any early morning farmers' marketer near you. Reason: they are directly from the farmers and very cheap. You'd buy like the retailers do, to sell during the day. 2. For whatever fruit, make sure it's well-ripened and sweet while selecting. 3. Buy in bulk. 4. Take home and employ labourers to peel skin, remove seeds and slice smaller. 5. Spread in hot scorching sun on a sackspread to dry. 6. Keep bringing out daily to sundry till it's well dried, then bag. 7. When ready, brand, package and market very well. 8. Or turn into packaged juice by grinding to powder and mix with water/sugar. Brand, package and market too. |

Yashita: Absolutely not. Hygiene? You are employing just any labourer and spreading just anyhow . |
Re: My Dried Fruit: Agbalumo/udara. See Pictures by Yashita: 3:52pm On Feb 27 |
missjekyll: Of course, you're washing all the items and fruits before you start to work |
