Business Idea: Berry Jam Production

Jam — fruit puree with sugar, is a delicious way to preserve berries, maintaining their exceptional aroma and outstanding taste, packed with essential vitamins. This preservation method works best for raspberries, cranberries, cherries, plums, seabuckthorn, black and red currants, serviceberries, gooseberries, though virtually any berries can undergo this process.

The Essence of the Business Idea

The concept revolves around producing berry jam and distributing it through stores, markets, and catering establishments.

Organization

Establishing this business will require a space, equipment, raw materials, and personnel. It's advisable to start by renting a production workshop, with the goal of eventually purchasing it as the business expands. Equipment can be procured from "Prombiofit" Industrial Technology Plant. The company offers a specialized technological line called "Berry with Sugar," designed to prepare and package berry jam. Equipment prices are negotiable. The varying production capacity will determine the number of employees needed, typically ranging from 9 to 11 to operate the line. The space requirement is between 40.5 to 55 square meters. Raw materials should be sourced by organizing the purchase of berries from individual entrepreneurs who buy them wholesale from the public.

All documentation for the line, along with a technological guide on jam preparation, is provided by the "Prombiofit" Industrial Technology Plant upon equipment purchase. The assembly and start-up of the line take approximately 2 to 2.5 months. Both the line and the final product must undergo certification.
