Almost every person has eaten fried sunflower seeds at least once in their life. For some people, systematically eating such a product becomes a kind of leisure activity. Why not take advantage of this human weakness and organize own business for the production of roasted seeds?
Some entrepreneurs are confused by the extremely low selling price of the finished product. However, reality shows the opposite results. The production of roasted seeds will pleasantly surprise you with its simplicity, profitability and quick payback period.
Despite the variety of similar products on store shelves, new bright packaging continues to appear steadily.
At first, you should choose the organizational and legal form of the enterprise being created. The most preferred options are:
It is advisable to choose an LLC if you have two or more partners. Individual entrepreneurs are characterized by a simplified registration procedure, accounting and reporting forms.
15.33 “Processing and canning of fruits and vegetables not included in other groups.”
First of all, it is necessary to issue a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion for production(contact the Rospotrebnadzor office at the place of registration of the enterprise). To date, the mandatory certification procedure has been cancelled.
If desired, you can issue a voluntary certificate of conformity. Documentary evidence of compliance with hygienic and sanitary-ecological standards finished products will contribute to increased demand. To obtain such a document, you must provide samples of roasted seeds and the following documents:
The most popular option is the electric drum oven. It consists respectively of a drum, agitators, a thermostat, windows for removing moisture and a paddle for sampling.
Some models have additional equipment in the form of coolers. Drum furnaces that run on gas are also quite in demand. All necessary functions they perform while simultaneously saving energy. Bottled gas is used as fuel for the furnace.
The next popular model is equipment that works on the principle of frying in a stream of hot air.
A distinctive feature of such models is a special technology in which the seeds are placed in a hopper and fried “in a fluidized bed.” The frying itself is carried out in suspension due to the operation of a pressure fan. The main advantage of such equipment is the powerful blowing of raw materials, in which all carbon particles settle in the exhaust pipe and do not mix with the finished product.
There are also models that work on the principle infrared radiation. The seeds are fried or dried using such a flow, heating only the raw materials, and not the surrounding air. Often such furnaces are characterized by a continuous operating cycle and a correspondingly high level of productivity. The equipment allows you to obtain a completely ready-to-eat and evenly fried product, in which there are no burnt particles.
The main characteristic features of the operation of such furnaces are:
Such devices are ideal not only for roasting seeds, but also nuts, vegetables and even potatoes.
Another model, which is quite common in the market for the production of roasted seeds, are microwave roasting ovens. Compared to the last oven, it has many more advantages. Braziers in modern technological lines often contain the two above models. Their average cost is about 1.5 million rubles.
Without coolers, it is quite difficult to imagine the production process for the production of fried seeds.
The seeds cool down slowly, and maintaining a high temperature inside the product shell for a long time leads to a decrease in labor productivity and, accordingly, a low volume of output. Coolers will also prevent the seeds from overcooking, which in turn will contribute to the production of a quality product. There are currently two types of coolers: the conveyor type model and the open circular design with agitators. The choice of the most preferable model depends on the area of the production workshop and the operating principle of the equipment.
Polishing seeds involves cleaning them from debris and soot.
For this purpose, specialized cleaning and polishing machines are used. If it is used, there is no need to pre-wash the seeds.
Filling and packaging are the final stage of the production process. The level of consumer demand depends on the attractiveness of the seed's appearance.
The standard packaging option looks like a three-seam bag consisting of a “pillow” (two horizontal and one vertical “Euro seams”). This type of roasted seeds is provided by filling and packaging machines that have a volumetric or weight dispenser.
Roasted sunflower seeds are poured into the storage hopper of the filling machine, then they are fed into the dispenser, where the required doses are separated and the packaging is formed. The key factor when choosing equipment is the productivity of the installation, namely the number of packages produced per minute. It is also desirable to have a function for changing to a different package size in case of production need and a different dosage of the product. Thus, a universal device will allow you to achieve efficiency and high productivity. In conditions of limited financial capabilities, you can purchase a semi-automatic packaging machine without a dispenser (bag former and sealer).
To work with such equipment it is necessary to use two operators. One - using a measuring cup, pours in the required amount of the finished product, and the second - measures a certain section of the bag, seals it, cuts it off using a semi-automatic machine and puts packs of sunflower seeds into cardboard boxes (large bags).
The following stages of roasted sunflower seeds production are distinguished:
The calibration stage involves separating large seed grains from small ones. The raw materials are also cleaned from debris. For such purposes, special calibrating machines or vibrating sieves are used, which perform the function of dividing the original product into several fractions.
In the process of choosing technological equipment for washing seeds, special attention should be paid to its productivity, the desired level of which should reach 100-150 kg/hour.
The sinks have a tunnel type design, differing in functions:
Salting the product is necessary when making salted seeds. The coating drum, which is also sometimes called an additive adding machine, is responsible for this function. Often, such equipment is used in conditions of high productivity and in companies of impressive size.
The direct frying process is carried out using a variety of ovens, which are intended for bulk products. A calibrated seed is poured into the oven, which will be roasted for one hour. At the same time, operators must visually monitor the quality, if necessary, turning off the rotation drive of the equipment drum. If the result is satisfactory, the worker turns off the burner, places a container for the finished product under the drum, and pours the fried seed into it. After this, it’s the turn of a new batch of raw materials for immediate production.
Constantly setting a certain amount of time (for example, 1 hour) is possible if the following roasting conditions are met:
Cooling of the finished sunflower seed occurs in a special apparatus, thanks to which labor productivity significantly increases. Then, using a packaging machine, the seeds are packaged.
The set of requirements for the premises for the production of fried seeds are similar to the requirements for buildings in which any food products are produced. It is necessary to comply with construction and sanitary standards, implementation of fire safety measures. On the area of the production premises (at least 60 m²) there will be a workshop and warehouses for temporary storage of raw and finished products. Reliable protection from rodents is also necessary: for this, the floor is concreted and iron doors are installed. The production workshop may be located outside the city. In this case, the rent will be much more affordable, amounting to about 6,000 rubles.
Raw material costs:
Two auxiliary workers can operate the roasted sunflower seeds production line. One will combine his immediate responsibilities with monitoring the implementation technical specifications. The second operator can act as an agent for the supply of raw materials and sales of finished products.
The monthly wage fund is 10,000 rubles.
The cheapest option for the production of roasted packaged seeds is to organize the production process using the following equipment:
Total – 110,000 rubles.
Let's calculate the cost of 1 package of seeds weighing 50 grams:
Thus, the cost of a package of roasted seeds will be: 1. 10 +0.3+ 0.36+ 0.69= 2.45 rubles.
The declared equipment has the ability to fry and pack 1800 bags of 50g each per shift (90 kg).
Thus, in 22 working days the monthly output will be 39,600 packages of the finished product (1 ton 980 kg).
The retail price of one package is 16 rubles -20% (VAT) = 12.80 rubles.
Thus, the income from 1 bag will be equal to: 12.80 – 2.45 = 10.35 rubles. Revenue for the sale of roasted seeds for the month will be: 10.35 rubles. x 39,600 pcs. = 409,860 rubles.
Total costs for monthly production are 97,020 rubles (2.45 rubles x 39,600 rubles). Gross annual profit (revenue - cost - equipment costs) = 409,860 rubles. –97,020 rub. – 110,000 rub. = 202,840 rub.
Profit after tax (15%) – 172,414 rubles (net profit).
The profitability ratio (net profit/revenue) will be 85%. Thus, subject to 100% sales of products and the absence of unplanned costs, the equipment will pay for itself in the first month, bringing profit 172,414 rubles.
Better stimulation of consumer demand is the application of an innovative idea that will distinctive feature from competitors. For example, you can put a folding bag for husks or some kind of flavor (with the taste of bacon, cheese, etc.) in the package. If desired, the consumer will be able to open the package and enjoy a familiar product with their favorite flavor.
The good tradition of adding extra product to the packaging has become incredibly popular. People bought dozens of packs in the hope of finding a gold pendant or a large bill. Even an ordinary lollipop inside the package will be a pleasant surprise for people of all ages. Advertising in the media, billboards around the city, etc. require a certain expense item, but they will soon justify themselves with product recognition and a significant expansion of the clientele.
Practice shows that there are no bad business ideas; there are unfavorable circumstances or an incorrect approach to implementation. De facto, a lot of competition or lack of experience is not a hindrance to a successful start; the main thing is to have a great desire and correctly calculate your strengths, plus, of course, think through a sales strategy. Taking such axioms as a basis, you can take a completely new look at how to organize your first business.
Looking at a small business without regard to competition and lack of experience, you can discern a whole cluster of successful ideas, primarily mini-productions of various formats. Alas, the practice of entrepreneurship in Russia has brought trade and business to the first place, but experience Western countries suggests the fallacy of this approach. Following the realities of development market relations It can be assumed that in the near future, the retail market will face difficult times and, on the contrary, mini-workshops will receive a tangible impetus for development. Of course, such bright prospects are strategic calculations, but “the sleigh needs to be prepared in the summer.” Although, in addition to strategic advantages, many small production ideas have very specific advantages and can provide high. Today we’ll talk about one such direction, also subscribe to the blog, a whole series of articles devoted to this direction is being prepared for publication. Let me remind you that the publication contains three articles with a description, with business plan calculations, it will be interesting.
Without false modesty, roasted sunflower seeds can be called the most popular product in Russia for “killing time”; for example, in the USA, this niche is occupied by popcorn. The real volumes of consumption of roasted seeds in the country are simply not known; of course, there are statistics from large producers, but according to experts, they occupy no more than 10-30% of the market, although these figures are frankly taken from the air. Of course, we can note the trends of the last decade in the growing “civilization” of the market and the increasing demand for packaged “factory” roasted seeds. But as always. Their greed played a cruel joke on the producers. Quite quickly, large businesses abandoned working with “quality” and switched to working on the principle of “quantity,” thereby turning away some consumers. Although it is worth being objective, sometimes it is not only the manufacturer of fried seeds who is to blame, but also the intermediaries, who do not comply with the storage conditions of the finished product upon delivery. Be that as it may, the result of such actions was a significant deterioration in the quality of finished seeds from “branded” companies. Small businesses began to take advantage of this factor, creating small mini workshops for the production of roasted sunflower seeds on a regional scale, and very successfully.
Strengths of the idea of a mini workshop for the production of fried seeds
Disadvantages of producing roasted seeds
As we see, there are few disadvantages in a small workshop, but they are quite significant, now we will consider the main stages of opening production.
The room for a mini workshop for roasting seeds should be quite spacious, optimally up to 100 square meters, plus 30-40 square meters storage facilities. The regulatory authorities do not put forward any special requirements for its equipment, as in fact, in any production, cladding, ventilation, electricity and running water are needed. It would be a good addition if gas was supplied to the room. Gas ovens are a little more economical compared to electric ovens, but practice shows that you should not specifically use natural gas at least at the initial stage of establishing a small production workshop, the costs are too high. Actually, all the requirements, and of course the workshop premises, need to be equipped with a fire alarm. The latter is mandatory for all types of production activities.
Actually, there are several options here; you can go with the most condensed option and buy a minimum set of equipment, which will include:
In this case, only ready-made culinary seeds (pre-calibrated, dried and peeled) will have to be used in production. Such raw materials will cost an order of magnitude more than ordinary farm seeds, which still need to be processed. It is worth noting what to buy additional equipment for calibration and cleaning it is quite expensive and justifies such equipment only for more or less significant volumes. We’ll talk about this separately in an article dedicated to equipment for a mini-workshop for the production of fried seeds here.
All equipment used in the production of roasted seeds is installed independently and does not require special conditions or knowledge, although if you buy new, then of course the best option Will be purchased with installation by the manufacturer. By the way, the ease of installation and dismantling of the equipment provides very high mobility of the business for the production of fried seeds, which is another big plus. For example, the same fish shop it is much more difficult to “transfer”, which often has a negative impact. Taking into account the small investments in opening production and mobility, this is an excellent option for those who want to try themselves in the production direction and dream of a mini-workshop.
Of course, ideally, I would like to find one channel for the supply of high-quality calibrated culinary seeds, but business practice shows the unreality of this option. Typically, such a supplier has very inflated prices and is ready for discounts only for large volumes. A small workshop cannot afford this, therefore a constant search for a supplier and the availability of a constant supply of raw materials is the main condition for work. Frankly speaking, the best option is to purchase sunflowers at the height of the harvest; it is during this period that sunflower seeds are sold at the lowest price. Especially if you buy from the “field” and “finish” them yourself, bringing them to marketable condition and selling part of the seeds after the new year. Equipping a small barn for storing sunflowers will be relatively inexpensive; the main problem is further work with the seeds, which requires the presence of certain equipment. And these are additional costs. Although, a couple of years ago, when we carried out calculations for one farm on the payback of building a mini elevator for processing and storing sunflower seeds, we came to the conclusion that such expenses pay off in 2 successful seasons. True, purchasing raw sunflowers also requires money, and this is an additional burden on the business. In general, I recommend going one of these ways:
Actually, the technology of a mini workshop is no different from the technology of frying sunflowers at home. The main difference may be the presence of an automatic conveyor-oven, but for small production it is better to use ovens with periodic loadings of seeds. This is cheaper to start a business and makes it possible to better control the roasting process, and this means control over the quality of the finished product. And quality is the key to the success of an idea.
As the implementations have already said, this is the biggest problem when opening a small production, and it doesn’t matter in what area. And even more so regarding fried seeds. A proven way to sell the products of a small workshop is to work with convenience stores, while the vast majority of such stores belong to small businesses that are not picky in choosing suppliers. To be clear, large chains require not only deep discounts, but also a fee for placing the product on their shelves. As a result, it’s worth starting your own business with them, working with retail, you should do two main things at once:
Plus, don’t forget about the advertising campaign; in this case, billboards at traffic intersections with a bright and memorable slogan and, of course, a design work very well. You shouldn’t “invent” advertising yourself; it’s best to contact a professional advertising agency. The second technique, which has proven itself well for narrow regional businesses, is promotions with the use of prizes and the circulation of “soft” toys at traffic intersections.
Discovery practice shows that to form a full-fledged sales network it will take six months of intensive work with retail stores. This factor must be taken into account when forming a “margin” of strength for a tear-off project.
How to start your own business? Will the show talk about this? project for the production of fried sunflower seeds
Roasted sunflower seeds – very popular food product in the majority of the population. Many people are accustomed to cracking seeds from time to time, and for some, consuming products packaged in bright bags has become a kind of pleasant leisure time.
Despite the relatively low selling prices for the finished product, the production of roasted seeds is a reliable investment for entrepreneurs. A seed business is a profitable and relatively simple process with a minimal payback period.
How to organize a technological process for the production of fried seeds from scratch? After registering a business entity, you must obtain permission to open a workshop from Rospotrebnadzor. Issuing a certificate of conformity for this type of product is now a voluntary procedure - you can acquire it at any time by submitting a package of documents and a sample of the final product.
The process of industrial preparation of roasted sunflower seeds consists of a number of stages:
— calibration and rejection of raw materials;
— cleaning and rinsing;
— frying and cooling on special devices;
- packaging of ready-made seeds.
To open a production facility, you need a premises that meets all sanitary and fire safety standards for food facilities. Maintenance of devices and packaging in a small workshop will require the efforts of a team of 2-3 workers.
The simplest equipment for industrial roasting of seeds is electric or gas drum oven.The basis of this unit is a metal drum with a turner, windows for removing moisture and temperature regulators.
Other popular equipment for the production of roasted seeds is oven with a “fluidized bed” frying function. The technology consists of placing the raw material in a special bunker and treating it with hot air under pressure supplied by a fan. The use of such models has an important advantage - when frying seeds in suspension, carbon deposits in the hood without contaminating the finished product.
Infrared units for frying seeds are based on drying raw materials in a production circuit using highly targeted thermal radiation. The stoves have high efficiency and good efficiency, since they do not use energy to heat the surrounding space. The device produces a high-quality product without impurities and soot particles. The use of this model guarantees cleanliness technological process, preventing contamination and excessive temperature rise in the production area.
The work process for roasting seeds cannot be organized without additional devices. The conveyor includes cooling devices and machines for cleaning and polishing the product. If the raw materials are heavily contaminated, you will need sinks of various designs. For initial seed calibration and debris removal, calibration devices or simple fractional vibrating screens are required. The choice of a specific model of units depends on the size of the room, financial reserves and the operating principle of the production line.
The final stage of the industrial process is the packaging of finished seeds into bright bags of different sizes using special devices. The better the packaging design, the higher the demand for your products will be. At the initial stage, advertising campaigns that increase product awareness will be a good lever for increasing consumer interest.
A properly adjusted production process and 100% sale of the finished product allows us to achieve a profitability rate of 85%. The funds invested in production will pay off within a month of operation, subsequently bringing a stable profit to the enterprise and its owner.
Let's look at these stages in more detail:
Calibration. This is the process of separating large grains from small ones, as well as clearing debris. For this purpose, special calibrating machines or vibrating sieves are used, which perform the function of dividing the product into several fractions.
Washing. What you should pay attention to is, of course, productivity (usually it ranges from 100-150 kg/hour). The sinks have a pass-through, tunnel type design. There are:
Salting the product. Used in the production of salty products (usually nuts, less often seeds). This function is performed by the so-called additive application machine (also called a coating drum). Typically, such devices are used for high productivity.
Frying. Today, the market offers a very large number of various ovens for drying and frying bulk products.
The most common option is an electric drum oven. Such models are usually equipped with: a stainless steel drum, agitators located inside the drum, a thermostat, windows for removing moisture, and a spatula for sampling. Some models are additionally equipped with coolers.
In addition to electric ovens, gas-powered drum ovens are also common. All technical specifications they save, while allowing significant energy savings. Such stoves use ordinary gas (propane-butane mixture) as fuel; the cylinder is connected using an ordinary reducer.
The next model, according to customer demand, are models that work on the principle of frying in a stream of hot air. The models are radically different from those described above in their operating principle, where the seeds are placed in a hopper and fried “in a fluidized bed.” The frying process occurs in suspension due to the operation of a pressure fan at a temperature of 220°C. The advantage of this model is the powerful blowing of the product, in which carbon particles settle in the exhaust pipe and do not mix with the product.
Next, it is worth noting models that operate on infrared radiation. The models fry (dry) the product using a stream of infrared radiation, which heats the product itself, and not the surrounding air. Typically, such furnaces have a continuous operating cycle and allow high productivity (250, 500 or 1000 kg/hour). With such ovens it is easy to obtain a clean, evenly fried product without burnt particles. The main characteristic is heating the product from the inside, significant energy savings, clean production, and the purity of the resulting product, due to the lack of heating of the surface of the product and the walls of the oven, no soot, no heating of the air in the room, no soot and burning, easy and precise adjustment of operating modes.
They are ideal for roasting all types of nuts, seeds, vegetables, including potatoes (for the production of dry mashed potatoes).
And the latest model that is gaining more and more popularity is microwave ovens. This oven has the advantages of ovens using infrared rays.
Coolers necessary for rapid cooling of the product. Cooling of the seeds after roasting occurs quite slowly, while maintaining a high temperature inside the shell for a long time, so coolers are used to prevent over-roasting and rapid cooling. There are two types of coolers on the market:
The choice of cooler design depends on the area of the room and the operating principle of the furnace itself.
Polishing. For finer cleaning of the product from debris and deposits, cleaning and polishing machines are used. When using such a machine, there is no need for pre-washing of raw materials, because This type of equipment does a better job of cleaning seeds.
The last stage in the production of seeds is, of course, packing and packing.
The demand for the product directly depends on “what the product is wearing” and how colorful and attractive its packaging will be.
Standard packaging consists of: 3-seam “pillow” bag (top seam, bottom seam, “fin” in the middle at the back). Such packaging is formed by filling and packaging machines with a volumetric or weight dispenser. The principle of operation of the devices always raises a large number of questions.
The product is poured into a storage hopper, after which it is fed into a dispenser, where the required doses are measured and then the packaging is formed.
Features that you should pay attention to are the productivity of the device (number of packages per minute), easy reconfigurability to a different package size, and a different dose of the product - these are the points that will allow the device to be universal.
Cost-effectiveness and high productivity are achieved in automatic devices.
That's all the main points in the production of fried sunflower seeds. Whatever equipment you choose, this type of production always remains highly profitable.
In addition to our own production, we can always provide packaging services using existing equipment, which is also a separate line of business.
The line can easily be reoriented to the production of other products, such as frying and packaging of any nuts, packaging of dried fruits, production of dry mashed potatoes, packaging of spices, food concentrates and much more.
Roasted sunflower seeds are a very popular product in our country. Moreover, everyone buys it with pleasure: not only young people, but also older people. The demand for this product in the snack category is stable, so in this niche there is an opportunity to build a profitable and promising business. Today we will talk about how to organize the production of seeds and their sale.
If we compare roasted sunflower seeds with other products from the snack category (crackers, chips, etc.), they differ favorably in that their target audience of consumers is the widest. The popularity of sunflower seeds can be explained by the following factors:
There are no age restrictions, they are allowed to be used by children, adults and the elderly;
With no restrictions on the place of consumption, you can enjoy the seeds at home, outdoors, and indoors (for example, some people enjoy husking them in the office);
Absence negative influence on the human body with moderate consumption of this product.
In addition, the seeds contain a lot of substances useful to humans, such as vitamins A, B, D and E, zinc, magnesium, as well as unsaturated fatty acids. Eating this product helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, accelerates the regeneration process of the skin, improves the condition of the hair, and also has a calming effect on the human nervous system, which makes it easier, for example, to quit smoking. Therefore, when organizing the production of roasted seeds, you can be sure that your products will not only not harm anyone’s health, but will also be healthy.
The production of fried seeds, like any other enterprise, has a number of its own characteristics. These include the following:
In addition, the prospect of further development business. Thus, the equipment used can be easily reconfigured for roasting coffee beans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, etc. If in the future you decide to purchase additional units, you can start producing butter, margarine, drying oil, feed cake and a host of other products.
All of the above makes this enterprise very successful and promising idea. First, you need to draw up a business plan for production.
As a rule, manufacturers of roasted sunflower seeds do not sell them in retail, preferring wholesale supplies. To do this, it is necessary to establish contractual relations with both large retail chains, and with a number of small shops, stalls and kiosks, as well as, if possible, with distributors and wholesale buyers.
Do not underestimate the activity of competitors in this segment, which makes it necessary to carefully plan all activities aimed at expanding the sales channels of your products.
The seed production technology includes the following stages: calibration, washing, salting, frying, cooling, polishing, packaging and packaging. We invite you to consider each point in more detail.
At this stage, large grains are separated from small grains, as well as cleared of debris. For this purpose, calibration units or vibrating sieves are used, which have the function of separating the product into several fractions.
At this stage, the product is purified. Washing units have a tunnel, pass-through type design and are divided into the following types:
With top watering;
With bottom and top watering, which ensures more thorough washing of the product;
With one heater at the outlet;
With two heaters, which allows for better drying of the seeds, thereby reducing the frying time.
This stage is used in the production of products with a salty taste. For this purpose, an additive adding machine (coating drum) is used. As a rule, units of this type are used in large industries.
This is the most important stage of seed production. The quality of the finished product will directly depend on the quality of the equipment used for frying. Most often, electric drum furnaces are used for this purpose, equipped with a stainless steel drum, fins, a thermostat, windows for removing moisture and a paddle for sampling. Sometimes this equipment also includes coolers.
In addition to electric ones, gas-fired drum furnaces are also widespread. They retain all the technical characteristics of the first, but allow significant savings on electricity.
Since after roasting the seeds retain a high temperature inside their shell for a very long time, in order to eliminate the possibility of overcooking, they are cooled using special units. This equipment comes in two types: a conveyor or an open round structure equipped with agitators and a directed air flow.
At this stage, the process of fine cleaning of products from debris and soot occurs. Cleaning and polishing machines are used for this purpose. By the way, if the production line includes such equipment, then there is no need for initial washing of raw materials.
As you know, the appearance of a product is very important in the process of marketing a particular product. Roasted sunflower seeds are no exception. Therefore, it is necessary not only to develop a suitable packaging design, but also to purchase high-quality equipment.
The main investments for the manufacture of such products will be related to the purchase necessary equipment. As a rule, it includes the following names:
Units for washing and drying (at the initial stage, in order to minimize costs, this procedure can be performed manually);
Units for calibrating seeds; 
Fryer;
Cooler;
Filling and packaging machine.
Of course, you can purchase equipment separately, but the best option would be to purchase a ready-made production line.
If the size of your investment in the business is limited, then you can purchase a mini-line for the production of fried seeds. It is based on an electric oven capable of producing 60-100 kilograms of finished products per hour. It is assumed that washing and drying will be done manually. To operate such a production line, two people will be required. Its cost will be about 450-500 thousand rubles. This equipment is designed for a workshop area of 30-35 square meters.
If you decide to purchase a fully automated production line, then you will need to spend at least 1.2 million rubles to purchase it. In this case, you will need a workshop with an area of at least 50 square meters.
If you decide to start producing roasted seeds, then you will need to rent a room suitable for these purposes. First of all, it must have sufficient area to accommodate all the equipment. It must also meet all the requirements of the sanitary and epidemiological station and the fire service and have access to basic communications. It is best to select premises on the outskirts of the city in an industrial zone, which will allow you to save on rent.
To begin with, we suggest estimating the approximate initial investment. So, if you decide to organize the production of fried seeds with the purchase of a mini-line for their production, then to start such a business you will have to invest about 1 million rubles (including the purchase of raw materials, renting premises and hiring workers).
As for income, monthly revenue will be about 800 thousand rubles. In this case, the net profit will be at the level of 110 thousand rubles. Thus, the initial investment will be able to pay off within 10-12 months of active work.
So, we can conclude that roasted sunflower seeds as a business is a very profitable, promising, highly profitable and quickly pays off business.
