hi signature 2012 I saw your PM message did you have a question

The major problem is the electricity to power the freezers.
What is going to be the scale of operation?
For example, if you are going to set up with one or two freezers and have to power them with a generator that will consume 10 litres of fuel costing N1000.00 a day, what profit are you going to make that will cover the expenditure?
But if you are setting up a coldroom that can hold cartons in hundreds, that could be more profitable. You will need a larger diesel generator but depending on location, the volume of sales will cover the cost of diesel and other overheads.
The business is profitable because there is market for frozen foods massively smuggled into Nigeria to bridge the gap. But it has to be kept frozen till it is sold. The poor supply of electricity is the major obstacle which means operating a generator at a higher cost. A 15KVA Diesel Generator consumes 2 liters of diesel per hour.
