Meat processing and packaging
Business is 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 super store 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 lamb 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
to 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
professionally too.
