Introduction
The ever-busy lifestyle of most families and the lack of electricity to store perishable foodstuffs in refrigerators in many homes has resulted in high demand for frozen foods products in Nigeria.
Frozen Food Business In Nigeria
Demand for Frozen Food
The consumption of Frozen Chicken, Turkey, and Fish in Nigeria is very high, especially in urban centers like Lagos, Kano, Portharcourt and Abuja, etc. For example, one kilo of frozen chicken in most markets and frozen food stores in Lagos is sold for between N650 to N1000 depending on size and location.
Selling frozen foods in Nigeria is very a profitable business. With sales from the frozen foods business, you can generate enough income that will end the lack of money in your pocket. In fact, Sellers of frozen foods especially in Lagos never go broke financially due to the high patronage they receive from housewives and organizers of big events like birthdays and weddings. And it will surprise you to hear that some of those women selling frozen foods are also breadwinners in their respective families due to the lucrative nature of the frozen foods business.
Start-up Capital Needed
Starting a frozen foods business is not a difficult thing. With an initial sum of N350, 000, you can start on a small scale and then increase your working capital as you make progress in the business.
The above initial start-up capital will surely be enough to cover the cost of renting a shop, purchasing a refrigerator, and other important equipment needed to start successfully.
