The opportunity
Why this business works now
South African farms produce fruit and vegetables that can be sold fresh or turned into products with a longer shelf life. Drying, cooking, bottling and preserving can open more ways to sell through local shops, markets, wholesalers, hospitality businesses and direct customers. This plan helps you choose a focused product range and understand what it takes to produce and sell it.
Longer shelf life
Processing can give fresh produce a longer selling window and reduce pressure to sell immediately.
4 product lines
Explore dried fruit, atchar, chutney and preserves in one practical business model.
Start focused
Begin with the products that suit your skills and local market, then expand as demand grows.
Who it is for
Whichever way you are starting
Whether you are starting from scratch, growing a business you already run or applying for funding, the plan is written to meet you where you are.
First-time food processors
You want to start making and selling dried fruit, atchar, chutney, preserves or similar packaged food products.
Farmers adding value to produce
You grow or source fruit and vegetables and want to sell processed products instead of relying only on fresh produce sales.
Existing food businesses
You already sell food products and need a clearer plan for formalising, improving or growing the business.
Funding and investor applicants
You need a complete business plan and five-year financial model for funding or investor preparation.
