Fast Food Restaurant
Category: Food
Sector: Food

Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

Fast food is food which is prepared and served quickly at outlets called fast-food restaurants. It is a multi-billion dollar industry which continues to grow rapidly in many countries. A fast-food restaurant is a restaurant characterized both by food which is supplied quickly after ordering, and by minimal service. The food in these restaurants is often cooked in bulk in advance and kept warm, or reheated to order. Many fast-food restaurants are part of restaurant chains or franchise operations, and standardized foodstuffs are shipped to each restaurant from central locations. There are also simpler fast-food outlets, such as stands or kiosks, which may or may not provide shelter or chairs for customers. Because the capital requirements to start a fast-food restaurant are relatively small, particularly in areas with non-existent or medium income population, small individually-owned fast-food restaurants have become common throughout Nigeria. Generally restaurants, where the customers sit down and have their food orders brought to them, are also considered fast food.

Fruit Juice Processing

Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

Fruit juices are produced and consumed for their refreshing character and nutritional qualities being rich in vitamins and minerals and having regulatory functions to the body systems; such as augmenting of alkaline reserve of the blood and proper functioning of blood vessels, including capillary, permeability and fragility as a result of contained falconoid. Juices also increase body retention of calcium, magnesium, nitrogen and are also good sources of quick energy. These qualities need to be maximized in technologies used to process fruit juices. Juice is generally defined as liquid extracted from the fruit, although many fruit juices are the results of expressing the liquid from the whole or cut fruit. There are some fruits where the distinction is not so apparent, e.g. fruits like mango, apple and banana when squeezed yields little or no juice; rather flesh is obtained which when comminutes will result in a dense puree and directly cannot be consumed as drink. Whereas in case of lemon, expressed fluid cannot be called juice, it is too sour to consume and can only be used as juice when diluted with sugar and water.

Honey Processing

Sector: Food
Region:
Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

The project of honey production, processing, packaging and marketing envisages the farming of honeybees, extraction of honey, its processing in the factory, followed by packaging and then distribution or supply to the consumer market. The proposed business will start with 600 beehives initially, however, within a few months it will reach around 1500 hives which will be settled in the farming areas where wild plantation or crop farming is common. In such areas, the prospective entrepreneur may sign a contract with the local farmers or the land owners to allow the placement of beehives in the locality (although it is not necessary and most of the honey producers work without any formal agreement) and their subsequent movement from one place to another so that bees find enough flowers in the apiary site to fill the honey comb. The site owners may or may not charge rent against this facility, however, the proposed project will incur expenses on this account. Once the hive is ready and filled with honey, it will be extracted using prevalent extraction techniques and will be stored in large plastic drums. Processing and packaging will be performed in the production facility while Quality Testing will be outsourced to third party. In the end, packaged honey of different grades will be supplied to the local market through distributors.

This project is related to setting up an ice plant of 15-tons capacity per day to cater to the needs of the institutions such as hotels, restaurants, bakeries, dairy, fish seller’s etc. The proposed project will manufacture ice blocks varying from 130 kg to 150 kg in weight.

Meat Shop (Beef)
Category: Food
Sector: Food
Region:
Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

This SME venture entails setting up a Meat Shop. The outlet is proposed to cater to the demand of hygienically processed, quality mutton and beef. The shop would be located in commercial markets of middle to upper middle income group residential areas. The proposed products available in the shop would be beef with bones, boneless beef and mutton, cut into pieces or minced according to the customers’ requirement. The retail shop is a project of trading nature; slaughtered animals are proposed to be purchased from a slaughterhouse and sold at the meat shop. Red meat is a naturally nutrient-rich food item and provides many essential nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, vitamins etc that our body require for optimum health. Due to its quality and taste, red meat has become a core food in our diet and is purchased on a regular basis. The demand for meat is constantly rising with the growing population. The local market is dominated by a number of small shops opened in market places. However, these shops rarely follow the required cleanliness standards. With increasing awareness, the trend will shifted from purchase of meat through small unhygienic shops to making purchases through well-known grocery stores or newly built hygiene conscious shops. The legal business status of this project is proposed as ‘Sole Proprietorship’. It is proposed that the project starts its operations with opening of one shop in the first year and would expand business by setting up an additional outlet in the third year. It is proposed that the shops would remain open for 10 hours, five days a week.

Category: Food
Sector: Food
Region:
Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

This proposed project presents an investment opportunity for establishing a bottled water plant for providing pure drinking water. The proposed product line will consist of bottles of 1.5 and 0.5 liters. In the initial phase of the project only 0.5 liters and 1.5 liters bottles will be introduced in the local market. After successful introduction of the new brand of bottled water the product line may be extended to 13 and 19 liters cans.

Potato Chips Manufacturing Unit
Category: Food
Sector: Food
Region:
Investment Size: Less than 10,000,000

The project involves setting up a Potato Chips Manufacturing unit. The unit will produce premium quality potato chips to be sold in the local market, competing with a few existing brands. The unit will be using modern automated machinery for all the processes, ensuring quality check throughout the production process. After processing, the finished potato chips are packed in 3 different packet sizes. The opportunity of the snack food business was almost unknown to the investors of Nigeria up to the mid-eighties and since then the investment in this sector has been fairly moderate. Even during that time, the Nigerian snacks market was represented by biscuits and corn-based products. Potato chips have recently appeared on the snacks market and taken up a major share. Over the past few years the demand for snacks in general and potato chips has been on the rise, causing a gap between demand and supply. This gap opens up an opportunity to set up units to produce good quality snacks at optimum production level.. The legal business status of this project is proposed as ‘Sole Proprietorship’. The overall proposed production capacity of the plant is 150 kg potato chips per hour. The plant will work in two shifts and operate at 50% capacity in the first year. The maximum capacity attained is 95% and the plant operates at this capacity sixth year onwards.

Sausages Production Unit

Investment Size: PKR Less than 10,000,000

The proposed project is about establishing a sausages production unit.A Sausages production facility can create a strong market in the country. Whereas it can also be exported if produced according to international standards and compliance. It would generate employment for the local inhabitants and more over would possibly generate cash inflow for the country as well. Currently the project is being designed / proposed for adjoining areas of major cities but the same can be proposed for several other cities which can fulfill input and logistic requirements of the proposed project. The project would serve as a focal point for efficient utilization of natural resources while on the same time it would be facilitating consumer that desire to eat fast food any time they want. Initially the project is proposed to attract domestic customers but after its maturity, international customers could also be easily targeted. The main feature of the project would include sausages prepared according to international quality standards. The Product mix may include different varieties of vegetable, meat or mixture of both. Whereas value addition will be done in shape of quality processing, standardize packaging, and final product with proper preservation. In addition to above, another very important key success factor of the proposed project is that the project would be focusing on preparing “HALAL” sausages according to Islamic values.

Products like candies, toffees, chew jellies, lollypops, chocolates and bubble gums are considered to be the part of confectionery industry which also includes all kind of biscuits, cookies and sweet meats. However, this pre-feasibility provides details on soft candy, its manufacturing, packaging, marketing and distribution. Soft candy may include candy types which are sticky, soft and easily chewable. Many industrial producers of candies and other confections are manufacturing soft candies on large scale for the local market and export purposes. This project envisages the production of soft candy using local plant and machinery. Ingredients such as milk powder and vegetable fats are mixed in the homogenizer and kept separately. Desired quantity of water is put into the Toffee cooker and the steam is released. When the sugar is dissolved other materials such as liquid glucose and milk paste are added in the cooker. After desired temperature is achieved on the temperature indicator, steam is stopped and material is discharged in the vacuum pan for vacuuming and then on the water circulation cooling table for cooling. Cooled material is then folded and put into the batch former. It makes a thick rope of toffee mass which is fed directly into the Cut & Wrap Machine, which is then transferred into the rotating chamber which takes it to the twisting fingers where these are twisted from ends and is ejected on to the delivery chute automatically. Product is packed in cartons and stored in the warehouse, from where it is shipped to wholesale suppliers who further deliver it to the retail shops.
