• October 1, 2023

Frozen food business in Nigeria is a very lucrative one to venture into whether you live in Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Asaba, Onitsha, and any part of the country.

This business is one of the fastest moving businesses in Nigeria, as they’ve continuously been an increase in demand for frozen food in the urban area especially.

Due to the scarcity of fresh food mainly in urban areas, frozen food is very costly, as a kilo of frozen chicken could go for 1,500 naira and above in some places.

This business is becoming more and more popular in Nigeria not just because there’s always a high demand, but it is very profitable as you can make up to 500 naira profit per kilo of frozen food sold.

So, if you have in mind to start a frozen food business in Nigeria, there’s no better time than now. That is why we’ve come up with this post to show you exactly how to start a frozen food business in Nigeria and be successful.

In this post, we will cover the cost of starting the business, the materials needed to start, and of course how profitable frozen food business in Nigeria is.

If you’re ready to know all that, let’s get started then!

What are Frozen Foods?

Frozen foods refer to food items that are stored at a freezing temperature to preserve them from spoilage. These foods include chicken, fish, turkey, pork, beef, etc.

Frozen Food Business in Nigeria

Frozen food business refers to the trading of frozen foods. That is getting into the business, you’ll be responsible for the freezing, storage, marketing, and sales of frozen food items.

This business thrives especially in Nigeria because fresh foods like fish are readily available in the country due to the numerous rivers in the rural area. And in urban areas, there are lots of poultry that breed chickens that are later processed into frozen foods.

In Nigeria, the frozen food business can be approached in two ways. Firstly, you can be responsible for every activity of the business from the purchase of fresh (live) food items to processing, storage, and sales. This is more profitable but difficult for beginners especially.

The second approach involves just the purchase of frozen food items from processing companies, then storing and reselling them. This type is also profitable and is the most popular way people do this business in Nigeria, although it requires more capital.

To start a frozen food business, you’ll need a capital of at least 500,000 Naira, if you want to be responsible for storage and freezing. However, if you’ll be paying for a cold room and storage facility, you can start the business with 100K on the low end.

How to Start a Frozen Food Business in Nigeria

Now that you’ve known how much is needed to start a frozen food business in Nigeria, as well as the profit to expect, let’s see the steps required to start a successful frozen food business in Nigeria.

1. Do Your Market Research

Like every other business, you need to carry out in-depth market research before starting a frozen food business.

Here you’ll get to understand the business by making research on how the business works, what are the requirements to get started, and also what type of people or what area is best for the business.

In your market survey, you need to find out if there’s a legal law guiding the business, as well as the association to join as a frozen food seller (if any).

Keep in mind that your market research should be based on the place you live or where you want to start the business. Therefore, to achieve the best result, try to find and meet people in the business for detailed research.

2. Pick a Specific Approach (Niche)

Like I said earlier, there is more than one way to approach the business. You can either choose to handle everything from processing to sales or deal with sales only. Based on the result of your research, you need to pick the best approach for you.

Also, spreading across all niches from frozen chicken to fish and meat, you may have stunted growth. Therefore, start by focusing on one niche at a time. If chicken sells well in your area, go for it, and if it’s fish, start with just that.

3. Come Up with a Strategic Business Plan

The more composed and strategic you are towards a business the higher your chances of success. Before starting, you need to sit and draft a realistic business plan.

If step one is well carried out, this step would be easy, as all you need to do is outline your objectives and targets.

While drafting your plan, bear in mind that there’s competition in the business. If you carry out good market research, you should know what your competitors are lacking, and then find a way to leverage that opportunity in your plan.

4. Arrange for a Startup Fund

In your business plan, you must have outlined the capital needed to start. Now is the time to raise the money.

Like I said earlier, depending on your approach, the frozen food business in Nigeria could be capital intensive. You can source for your startup fund in many ways including personal savings, or loans from friends, family, and even banks.

5. Get All The Required Materials

With your startup fund now ready, the next thing is to get all the required equipment needed to start the business. From your market research, you should have the list already.

However, to make things easier, the following are some of the equipment needed to start a frozen food business in Nigeria.

• Deep freezer
• Cleaver and/or cutlass

6. Arrange for a Storage Facility

One of the most important things in this business is storage. After all, your job is to preserve food items for sale, which means you need a place to store them.

If you’re starting on a large scale, you would want to arrange for a big storage facility like a cold room. They cost a lot as you’ll need to account for the cost of a warehouse, and tons of freezing equipment.

Alternatively, you can pay for freezing and storage service in a bigger cold room. Here, you’ll be charged for storage per hour or on a daily basis. This is ideal for a small-scale frozen food business.

7. Source the Best Supplier

If you want to start on a large scale whether you’ll handle everything from processing to sales, the best place to source products would be farms (e.g poultry for chicken). And on a small scale, you’ll need to look for the best processor.

If your market research is well done, you should be able to know how to source the best supplier for you. In fact, if you meet with a seller while doing your research, they should recommend their suppliers which can start with, and then carry out more research on your own later.

8. Get a Shop

Frozen food business requires a shop. Not just because of the place to keep all your material and items, but also because you need to have a place that will be known for your business.

First, you need to study your environment if it is suitable for the business. If not, you need to look for a shop in an area good for a frozen food business.

To get the best location, you need to watch out for the following.

• How populated is the area?
• What type of people lives in the area?
• Is it a residential area or a commercial area?

Residential areas work well for this business because people that will be patronizing your business are mainly housewives, and also restaurants.

Security also matters when looking for a shop for your frozen food business, as you want to go with an area with a low criminal record.

9. Register with the Necessary Association

Based on your research, you should have known if there’s any association for frozen food sellers in your area. If there is, make sure you register, join the association and get the necessary licenses to start the business.

10. Get Started

Everything is set, what is left now is to get to work. At the start, you need to make sure not to keep much stock in hand as sales won’t be much for now.

You’ll need to print a banner to describe your business, and also advertise to people in your neighborhood to know that your business is up.

The frozen food business in Nigeria is a good business for young female entrepreneurs especially, as it is easy to start and less stressful. With this post, I believe you’ve known all the steps to take to start a successful frozen food business in Nigeria.

How To Start A Frozen Chicken Business In Nigeria

Frozen chicken sales and production business is a multi-million dollar industry. It is rightly so because many prefer to buy frozen chicken basically because its convenient to cook. You will not go through the stress of slaughtering the chicken, boiling water, peeling off the feathers and dividing the chicken into parts. Frozen chicken gives you the opportunity to choose the chicken parts you feel like eating.

This article will tell you what you need to know before starting your frozen chicken business. You will also be enlightened on how to market your frozen chicken. Meanwhile, let us learn more on some of the health benefits of frozen chicken.

Health Benefits of Eating Chicken

As we all know, chicken is a very good source of protein, likewise fish and other seafood. Protein builds our muscles, skin, cartilage and blood vessels.

Many consumers attest to the fact that chicken soup or stew is more delicious than those prepared with beef or other sources of protein.

Chicken prevents bone loss, because it is rich in calcium. It is not difficult to acquire the calcium because most chicken bones are very soft and they can be easily chewed. Chewing chicken bones  does not just give strong bones, it gives strong teeth too.

Chicken is rich in phosphorus that helps to aid strong teeth, bones, kidney as well as the liver.

Consuming higher rate of chicken increases our metabolic performance.

Eating more of chicken will keep blood vessels healthy thereby increasing your energy level.

Chicken is rich in vitamin-B that helps prevent cancer.

Chicken consumption improves healthy eyesight.

Consumption of chicken reduces skin problems, and it repairs dry and damaged skin.

Chicken increases appetite because it consists of zinc and this helps in maintaining a healthy appetite.

Having known the importance of chicken to the body, let us now emphasize on how it can be produced locally. In my previous article titled 6 reasons you should invest in frozen packaged chicken business , we discussed about the federal government placing a ban on the importation of frozen chicken to Nigeria.

Since there is ban on frozen chicken, it is better to produce it locally. The steps needed to start frozen chicken  production.

First, you need to understand the two basic sources to get life chicken to process into frozen chicken – Rearing birds in your poultry farm, the type of birds for frozen chicken are either layers or broilers. You can buy birds from poultry farmers.

A lot of people prefer not to go through the stress of preparing life chicken and so this makes them have preference for frozen chicken. There are some startup requirements needed to start this business.

Initial Capital To Start Frozen Chicken

To start frozen chicken as a medium scale investor, you will need a minimum of N2,000,000. Your initial capital will be invested in purchasing all equipment needed to run the business. Your source of finance can be loan from any bank, your personal savings, it could come from partners or any other source you can think of.

Startup Location

Your startup point might not necessarily be a shop, you can start this business from your home if you have the sufficient space. However if your home is not spacious enough, that means you will need to acquire or rent a shop either in a market, busy street or your neighborhood.

Frozen Chicken Equipment And Support Staff

There are some basic equipment needed to run this business. Having achieved a standard start up point, it is important to purchase your working tools. These are as follows:

• Deep freezers
• Knives and Axes
• Bowls and Basins
• Sealing Machine
• Automatic weighing scale
• Lovely polythene bags for packaging
• Tables for cutting
• Heat source (stove or heater)
• Soap and Hand Towels

You will have to hire support staff to make your frozen chicken business more efficient. If You intent to produce the frozen food on your own, there should be different sections in your factory, the slaughtering and feather removal section, dividing section, packaging section and the distribution section. The sectioning depends on how large your production is. In hiring staff, make sure you hire dedicated staff and make sure you treat them right by paying their salary as at when due. This will make them always happy and more dedicated to their jobs.

There are two types of birds that can be used for frozen chicken, and these are broilers, and old layers. So if you want to buy your birds from a farm you know what type to source for, and if you are going to rear it on your own farm, you should take note of the type to invest on.

Getting Started

You have your equipment ready, you know what type of birds to source for, your space is available, the next step is starting the business. Interestingly,  once the birds have been slaughtered, all the parts are useful.

We have discussed about the production process of this business, let us go further to branding, and selling aspect. After your production, there are some steps to consider to make your products acceptable to the public and they are as follows.

Frozen chicken is a consumable product and so you must create a sweet name. It must be simple and short, easy to pronounce. The more appealing your name sounds, the better for your business.

Your Target Market

Where and how you intend to sell your production matters a lot, so locating a target  market is very important. Your target should basically be those shops that are involved in buying and selling of frozen foods, hotels, restaurants, institutions with catering facility, fast food owners, party planners/host. This will definitely help you increase your production process.

There is more to branding than just creating a unique name, it also involves creating unique image for your product. The image must describe your product and this simply means that your product must be meaningful. Your product name and image will automatically advertise your product if there is consistency. You can develop strategies on how you can advertise your product, or better still use the existing advertising media like online, or offline, advertisement.  Tell family, friends and neighbours about your product. Remember, advertising your product goes a long way in promoting your business.

Retail Selling

You can as well sell in retail, to achieve this means you need to have a shop, it could be in a residential environment or market environment where you know that people in that environment will not depend on their locally reared chicken before they can eat one. What we mean invariably is that you should locate a strategic area and a high profile one. Your shop must be easily accessible for your potential and existing customers to locate you.

Potential Profit

This business is a profitable one no doubt about that. Once you or your staff have gone through the process of washing and dividing into parts, chicken heads, necks, legs, laps, wings, chest, gizzard are sold separately,and the minimum amount a kilogram is sold is around N700, this price can  increase during festive period because the demand will be higher.

Invest in this business today and  realize the potential profit in it. Feel free to ask questions we will gladly respond. Also share your success story with us. Wish you all the best.

However, for a business to thrive there must be some certain level of commitment by the business owner that is to say with the combination of your hard work and the nature of people towards commodity business, you are likely to make it big in the business and again you need to understand how to start a frozen food business . Report has it that the business is becoming acceptable and more people are getting involved, and this alone has made the business to grow even further.

One of the advantages of running a business in Nigeria is the advantage of population, you have much more people willing to buy, that is why it seems even when more people are interested in a particular business, it still thrives, because most times, the businesses on ground that are meant to meet those demands are never enough, hence any new addition is likely to improve the services provided.

Many Nigerian families now reside in the urbanized areas, and most rural settlers are growing into urban area, the implication of this is that there will be shortage of fresh food, like I stated earlier, fresh food can be sort after from cold rooms, there are different categories of fish and birds you can get from these cold rooms, from chicken, turkey, gizzard, fish or other species like catfish of any kind etc.

The business is so lucrative that a kilogram of chicken is priced at N1,250, and the number of people at the frozen food shop will even amaze you, people weren’t even worried about the price but the quality of the frozen products, this simply depicts the nature of the urban life, where everyone is in a hurry with no time to waste.

What You Need To Set Up A Cold Room Business

I have carefully outlined the things you will need to run a successful cold room business in Nigeria;

– Write A Business Plan – This is obviously the first thing you should do as an entrepreneur, write a business plan , and then follow the plan the later. The essence of having a plan first is to avoid any kind of failure that may occur in the nearest future. This entails carrying out an extensive research and then writing a feasibility study to that effect, particularly on the subject frozen food business. A business plan for your cold room is the way to go for starters. There are no rules to writing a business plan, you can get one from a professional if you so wish.

– Capital – To successfully establish a cold room business, you need adequate capital for starters. Capital employed will determine if the business is going to be on a large scale or on a small scale. The capital needed is not mainly for starting up the business, you need money to successfully run the business, you could use the frozen food business plan in Nigeria or feasibility study to seek for loan from any issuing house.

– Decide on A Niche – You need to decide on the type of frozen food you want to be known with, there are large cold rooms that house nearly every type of frozen food, depending on your capacity, it is advisable to select the type of frozen food you will be dealing on especially those live stocks , we have the seafood, poultry birds, etc start with food that is in high demand and then continue to add to the list of the food on your sales list.

– Location – That frozen food is in high demand doesn’t mean you should be difficult to locate, most of the cold rooms I know are usually located at either the market or a very visible area where it can be accessed easily. The idea is to maintain a high level of patronage.

– Register With Relevant Association – One thing I have come to terms with is that in Nigeria, every business has its association, and to be safe in conducting your business, you need to register with the required association. This will to a very large extent help your business growth. Some of the notable association includes National foods and Drugs Control (NAFDAC), Ministry of health either at local, state or federal level, Standards Organisation Of Nigeria (SON). Register your business name with Corporate Affairs Commission. Ensure you pay up every kind of levy imposed on members; also pay up other levies imposed by the government .

– Get A Storage System – Storage facilities are important to the survival of the business, get multiple deep freezers, this will be used to store food items. You business plan should itemize the type of freezing you want for your food, the normal freezer or the larger cold room with freezing system. Keeping the food freeze will ensure that the food continues to be fresh until customers buy. Note that bad storage facility could lead to bad food and could chase potential and old customers away.

– Power Supply Generator – There must be constant power supply, since you are dealing with food that gets spoilt, if one of the food gets spoilt as a result of power outage, it could affect others in the same storage facility, hence the need to have alternatively power supply on standby.

– Equipment Needed For Frozen Food Business in Nigeria – Here are some of the items you need to begin with; freezer, Knives, Table, Cabinet, Chisel, Wooden boards, Waste bin, Chair etc

– Device a Customer Retention Strategy – The business has to make profit and the customers are the ones to ensure that profit is made, here is what you do, ensure that you know the kind of customers you want and then campaign towards having them come patronize you, this can be achieved through publicity via social media, fliers etc.

Finally, you need a frozen food business plan in Nigeria to have a proper frozen food business in place.

Once payment is made for the Cold Room / Frozen Food Business Plan In Nigeria, send the following (i) a valid email address and (ii) your payment details to any of these numbers – 07039768549 .

How To Run A Successful Frozen Food Business In Nigeria

How To Run A Successful Frozen Foods Business In Nigeria

Are you an entrepreneur looking to break into the food business? Have you ever thought of running a frozen food business in Nigeria? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

This article will show you how to start and run a successful frozen food business in Nigeria. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right suppliers to finding and assessing the right market. We’ll also look at some of the key success factors for running a profitable frozen food business and some of the challenges and pitfalls you may encounter along the way.

If you’re ready to start your new venture, let’s jump in!

What Are Frozen Foods?

Frozen foods are any type of food that has been preserved and stored at a temperature below the freezing point of water. Think of it as a way to keep food fresh for longer periods without it going bad or losing its nutritional value.

Among Nigeria’s most popular frozen foods are fish, chicken, turkey, prawns, and meat (including pork). Hence, the frozen food industry is a business that deals in the freezing, storing, and selling of frozen food products.

Start-Up Costs for a Frozen Food Business

When starting a frozen food business, there are several costs to consider. The upfront costs of launching a new business can be divided into two major components.

The first component is the start-up cost of getting your business running. This cost includes things like purchasing equipment, inventory, transportation, and any other costs associated with getting your operations up and running. Depending on what size operation you are running, these costs can range from anywhere from 200,000 – 2,000,000 naira.

The second component is related to the ongoing operating costs associated with keeping your business running on a daily basis. These include things such as labour costs, rent/utilities for your facility, advertising expenses, insurance, and any other recurring fees that occur in order to keep the business functioning in its best state. Again, depending on the size of your operation, these fees will vary greatly but could range from anything between 10,000-150,000 naira per month.

Running a frozen food business in Nigeria can be a lucrative and rewarding venture. So, if you’re looking to break into the industry, here’s what you need to know in order to make a success out of it.

Research Your Market

If you’re planning to run a successful frozen food business in Nigeria, it’s absolutely essential that you research the market you’ll be entering, as well as any competitors that you might face.

Knowing what’s already out there is the first step to standing apart from the crowd, so put aside some time to research other frozen food businesses and products available and identify where your business can fit in. You should also consider possible obstacles or challenging areas of the market.

To ensure that your business is a success, ask yourself these questions:

• Have I researched my target audience?
• What needs do my potential customers have that my product can meet?
• What will differentiate my products from those of my competitors?
• Are there any seasonality or pricing trends in the frozen food industry?
• Are there certain foods that are more successful than others?

By answering these questions, you’ll have a better understanding of how to approach setting up your frozen food business and anticipate any potential issues further down the line.

Choose the right location

A good location for your store is essential for success. Find out about the population density in each area you are considering, as well as the average income of potential customers. You want to ensure that there is enough demand for frozen foods in the area and that people have enough money to buy your products.

Choosing the right location for your frozen food business is one of the key factors you need to consider to run a successful business. Here’s what you want to look for:

Easy and fast access to the cold room and equipment

You need convenient access for delivery personnel and maintenance workers who need to repair and refill the coolers or freezers, so your selection should be close to your business’s operational areas.

Highly populated environment or close to the market

As much as possible, locate your business in an area where there are many people in the vicinity. This way, you’re more likely to get customers who will purchase your frozen goods regularly. Being close to a busy market is a bonus too.

Regular power supply

Power supply issues are common in Nigeria, so it would be wise to choose a location that has a regular power supply available. This will help ensure that you can keep your products stored at all times.

Ease of waste disposal

The production process may require regular waste disposal, so make sure it is easy and convenient when you choose a place that can accommodate dumping easily.

Adequate means of Transportation

Having good roads and highways nearby can help speed up your delivery process and be cost-effective too. Choose a location that has good roads with easy access for larger vehicles like trucks when it comes time for stocking up or delivering goods regularly.

Obtain Necessary Licences & Permits

Before you can begin selling frozen food, you need to make sure you have all the right licences and permits needed. Generally speaking, the type of licence and permit you need will be determined by your business structure and the specific area where you plan to operate.

The steps involved may include the following:

• Register your business with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). This process should take three weeks, though it could take longer.
• Get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) from the Federal Inland Revenue Service. This helps identify your business for purposes of taxation and other financial matters.
• Business premises must also be registered in order to obtain your operational licence from any relevant government agency or body in charge of overseeing frozen food businesses in Nigeria, such as the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) or food safety agency in Nigeria like NAFDAC or SONCAP if applicable to your type of product/service before you can begin operations.

Get the Necessary Equipment and Storage Options

In order to run a successful frozen food business in Nigeria, you’ll need the right equipment and storage options. Here are some of the necessary things you should have:

A good quality freezer is essential for selling frozen food. Not only will it keep your products fresh and safe, but it’ll also help increase sales as customers will be more likely to purchase food that has been stored properly. Look for freezers that utilize the latest technology, such as adjustable temperature settings, low energy consumption, and digital controllers.

Cold room (If your business is Large scale)

One of the most important requirements is a cold room. A cold room is a chamber designed to maintain a constant low temperature and is essential for ensuring proper storage of all frozen food products. Your cold room should be large enough to accommodate the amount of food you intend to stock, plus an allowance for future expansion.

Protective Clothing

If you plan on selling frozen foods in Nigeria, it’s important to wear protective clothing while handling them to prevent contamination. This includes aprons, gloves, and hats. These items help protect both you and your customers from hazardous bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli that can be found in raw frozen foods.

Storage Containers

When storing your products, always use clean and safe containers that have been approved for food storage. Choose containers made of durable plastics or stainless steel, as these are less likely to break down over time, preventing any contamination from occurring. Additionally, label all containers clearly to avoid confusion when restocking or restocking shelves.

Running Water System

To ensure optimal hygiene when handling the food, you’ll need access to running water and appropriate drainage facilities. You can also install water storage tanks for backup and emergency water supply in case of power outages or shortages in the public water supply system.

A waste bin within easy reach is necessary for disposing of packaging materials and waste produced during daily activities within the shop or store premises. This bin should be large enough to accommodate all of the waste generated and positioned where it won’t cause a nuisance or health hazard.

Quality Wooden or Stainless Steel Tables, Buckets, and Chairs

You’ll need quality wooden or stainless steel tables, buckets, chairs, etc., for use when preparing and cutting frozen food, making sure that everything is kept spotless at all times!

Standard Weighing Scale

You’ll need to get a standard weighing scale used in both online and offline retail that you can use to measure the accurate weight of the products you’re selling. This will be important for your clients and customers.

Manual/Electric Cutting Machine

You’ll also need either a manual cutting machine or an electric cutting machine, depending on the type of frozen food product you’re selling. The manual machines work with wood and can easily cut through frozen food items like fish, chicken, and turkey. Electric machines, on the other hand, offer better speed and precision when cutting meat or bones.

Panel Truck or Wheelbarrow

It’s also important to have a panel truck or wheelbarrow to carry heavy loads of frozen food items for delivery purposes if required. This ensures that frozen foods are delivered in good condition to customers and clients.

Hand Gloves, Apron, Plastic or Rubber Shoes, and (Personal Protective Equipment)

It is important to have hand gloves, an apron made of waterproof material as well as plastic or rubber shoes when handling frozen food items, as this will help reduce contact with cold temperatures, which may affect your hands and feet negatively if not properly.

By investing in these key pieces of equipment and storage options for your frozen food business in Nigeria, you’ll be well on your way to running a successful operation!

Find and Choose A Supplier

Once you’ve decided on the type of frozen food products that you want to sell, the next step is to find a supplier. This can be a tricky step as you don’t want to end up with low-quality product offerings or, worse yet, end up dealing with a company that isn’t reliable or has been accused of unethical practices.

There are several things that you should look out for when finding a supplier to ensure you get the best quality product :

The most important thing is to make sure that your supplier offers high-quality products. If possible, it is best to visit the supplier in person (as opposed to relying on digital images or video calls). This will give you an opportunity to assess the cleanliness of the facility and ensure that they have established proper storage and preparation procedures.

It will also be important for you to shop around and compare prices across different suppliers. You don’t want to settle for a supplier just because they offer rock-bottom prices, as this usually means low-quality goods. Ensure you look at all factors, such as prices, quality, availability, and delivery times, before committing to a particular supplier.

Lastly, it’s always a good idea to read reviews from other customers who have used the same supplier in the past. This will give you an idea of how efficient and reliable they are. Luckily, we live in an age where there are plenty of online review platforms, so it won’t take much effort for you.

Advertise & Market Your Business

When it comes to running a successful frozen foods business in Nigeria, you need to make sure your products are reaching the right customer. To do this, you’ll need a solid strategy for promoting your business. Below are some strategies that can help:

Use Social Media

Make use of popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to advertise your products and create an online presence for your business. You can post pictures of your products, attract customers with giveaways and discounts and keep them updated on new arrivals or promotions.

Take Advantage of Word-of-Mouth Advertising

The power of word-of-mouth advertising should not be underestimated. Ask existing customers to spread the word about your business and incentivize them by offering discounts or giveaways for referrals. This is a great way to reach potential customers that might not have otherwise heard of your business.

Start an Email List

Build an email list with direct contact details of current and potential customers so you can keep them up-to-date with promotions and news on new arrivals or services you offer. You can collect emails through sign-up forms on social media platforms or via QR codes printed on promotional materials like flyers or brochures.

Focus On Quality

Your customers will come back if they’re satisfied with the quality of your frozen food products. Focus on delivering high quality at all times and make sure customer feedback is always taken into consideration, so you know the areas where you need to improve the product quality.

Benefits of Running a Frozen Food Business

When it comes to running a frozen food business in Nigeria, there are plenty of benefits to consider. Here are 6 of the benefits you can achieve with this business:

• High-Profit Margins : By selling frozen food products at retail prices, you can earn a higher profit margin than selling other items. Frozen foods generally require little preparation and offer longer shelf lives than many other products.
• Reduced Food Waste : When working with frozen foods, you have the benefit of reducing food waste, as it has a longer shelf life compared to fresh produce and other grocery items. This means that more of your inventory will stay intact simply because it won’t go bad as quickly.
• Time Savings : A major advantage of having a frozen food business is that it requires less preparation time than cooking with fresh food products. You can easily thaw out the product, heat it up in the microwave or oven, and serve it!
• Year-round Availability : A great benefit of selling frozen goods is that you can sell products year-round as opposed to seasonal trends with fresh produce or canned goods. Customers will be able to come in and purchase items regardless of the season, which ensures your store stays profitable.
• Lower Inventory Costs : You don’t need large amounts of fridge space since all products are pre-frozen and ready for sale once they reach your store or warehouse facility! This allows smaller businesses access to becoming profitable without needing large amounts of equipment or inventory space, to begin with!
• Increased Selection : Selling frozen foods gives you access to more selection options.

Challenges of Running a Frozen Food Business in Nigeria

Running a frozen food business in Nigeria can be a rewarding and profitable venture. However, there are several challenges that come along with it. Here’s a look at some of the challenges you should be aware of before running a business in frozen foods:

Food Spoilage

One of the main challenges of running a frozen food business in Nigeria is food spoilage. Frozen foods need to be kept chilled at all times and stored properly to ensure the quality and freshness of the food. If any part of the supply chain is compromised or there are interruptions, then the food could spoil, leading to significant losses for your business.

Cold Room Breakdown

The cold rooms used to store frozen foods can break down due to various reasons, such as malfunctioning equipment, power surges or overloads, improper maintenance, or inadequate insulation. This puts your inventory of frozen goods at risk and could lead to significant losses if not dealt with quickly.

Unstable Power Supply

Unstable power from PHCN is another challenge to consider when running a frozen foods business in Nigeria. Without a consistent power supply, operations may come to a halt as the cold rooms could become too warm and thus cause all kinds of problems, such as food spoilage, reduced shelf life, etc.

The handling and storage of goods must also adhere to strict hygiene standards in order to prevent contamination which can lead to serious health issues if not managed properly. It is important that you adhere strictly to hygiene standards throughout your operation, as any breach could cost your business dearly in terms of fines and/or a bad reputation.

Improper staffing

If you aren’t careful about selecting qualified staff to work in your store, they could make mistakes and cause more harm than good. Ensure that all employees have been trained, so they can understand how to handle the food appropriately.

Poor transportation

Transporting frozen goods across state lines or even within states can be problematic if the vehicles used are not well-equipped with insulated containers or other appropriate technologies for keeping cargo cold during transport. Make sure that any delivery vehicles used are up-to-date and adhere to all necessary regulations when transporting goods between locations.

Setting up a successful frozen foods business in Nigeria is no easy feat. To be successful, you will need to have the right business plan, source quality ingredients, develop the right price and promotion strategies, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry. Additionally, it’s important to focus on maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety, as well as providing excellent customer service.

Ultimately, by following these tips, you can run a successful frozen food business in Nigeria that is both profitable and rewarding. With the right preparation and dedication, you can build a business that will become a thriving success.

Understand that you are dealing with perishable food items and make sure you have a solid plan to get constant supply of electricity. A petrol generator is preferable to a diesel one because of the cost of fueling and maintenance.

Make sure you buy durable brands and go for the one whose voltage will carry all appliances in your facility. If you can afford it, make sure you have a spare generator in case the main one breaks down and can’t be fixed on time.

==> Offer Free Delivery As Bonus

Though you may not be able to do this for all your clients due to the extra costs involved, for short distances and bulk purchases you can offer to deliver the items free of charge.  This edge over other competitors will endear your business to a lot of people, who will be interested in buying more.

Provide a functional telephone line on standby so that customers can reach you anytime for inquiry, booking and complaints about your frozen food shop .

How to run a viable frozen foods business in Nigeria – Complete expert guide

Wondering about starting or investing into frozen foods business in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Onitsha, or anywhere else in Nigeria? De Koolar offers you a complete expert guide to help you understand the nitty-gritty of the business, and make informed business decision.

What are frozen foods?

The term frozen food refers to food items that are exposed, or treated to freezing temperature, so as to preserve them from decadence. Most common list of frozen foods in Nigeria includes; Fish, Chicken, Turkey, Prawns, Beef, Meat (Pork), etc. Frozen food business therefore is a business of trading in the freezing, storage, and sales of frozen food items.

Why we decided to offer our insights on starting frozen foods business in Nigeria?

As an industry player since the past 25 years, we keenly observed that most of the information available on the internet about this topic is from novices, and those who have no experience, or practical knowledge about the business. Hence the misinformation, and half-baked blog posts which merely touched on the basics.

As a leading manufacturer of cold room and Industrial freezers in Nigeria, which are principal prerequisite to start any profitable frozen foods business, you’ll agree with us that our perspective is very important to help you understand the business. For instance, most guides provide little or no information on Cold storage room which principally is the engine to drive the business.

In lay terms, cold room is the insulated and refrigerated cabin, room, chamber, enclosure or warehouse into which you will stock, then freeze and store perishable poultry or seafood products under negative temperature.

The suitable cold room for frozen foods, especially for fish, meat, turkey, chicken and ice cream, is operated under a well-regulated temperature ranging from -18 o c to -20 o c.  

However, if you will operate on a commercially large scale, you may need to also acquire a blast freezer, operating within -25 0 C to 40 0 C, which can help you to fast-freeze the foods within minutes, and then transfer for cold storage inside a cold room.

What are the risks involved in frozen foods business in Nigeria?

Knowing the attendant risks or challenges in frozen foods business, or any business whatsoever, and preparing to effectively mitigate them will make or mar your success in the venture. The following are major risks associated to frozen food business and their possible solutions.

Unstable Power (Electricity) Supply

• Plan to use backup Generator (Gasoline or Solar)
• Or identify a business location with steady electricity supply.

Power supply is one of the most important factors you must get right if you must invest in frozen foods business in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Onitsha, or anywhere in Nigeria. Obviously, you are aware power is not stable – hence you must prepare to acquire and run power generator.

Most cold rooms and Industrial freezers in Nigeria are powered with three phase engines. You will need to buy three phase stabilizers to complement whatever voltage the public power supply is providing you.

Also, you need to factor the cost of running alternative power into your business startup and running cost outlay, else you may run into troubles if not properly captured.

Cold room break down

• Having robust maintenance service partnership/ responsive team
• Endeavor to have a backup unit

Technically speaking, cold room should not be installed close to any source of extreme heat. This is because cold room is designed to operate effectively around ambient temperature. Cold room is better built under a covered and secured environment, and adequately floored space, for optimum performance.

Also, if a cold room must be installed in a dust-prone environment, it must be serviced regularly as the dust will always hamper the cold room from functioning well. Importantly, a well-insulated cold room is idea in a tropical climate such as we have in Nigeria. This is why most imported cold rooms don’t last long in Nigeria before breaking down.

Hence the reason De Koolar models are the best-selling cold rooms for frozen foods business in Nigeria – because of the quality installation and rugged engines to withstand Nigerian operating climate.

Food spoilage

• Use FIFO (first in, first out – products handling is a very good practice) Technique
• Proper stacking is very important, don’t block the air flow system in/out of your cold room.
• Keep operational log sheet for effective monitory and fault detection on your cold room

Useful Tips on frozen foods sourcing

At the point of product purchase/stocking from your suppliers, don’t be in a hurry, diligently confirm the state or quality of the product before buying or allowing into your cold room facility.

Always buy products from companies that maintain their cold room regularly. Buying directly from importers saves you a great deal of cost and stress. As a RULE, always buy and stock fresh foods.

Contraband items

– Properly source for your goods. Ensure government policy is adhered to strictly if your business must succeed, avoid pitfall of contraband supply.

Useful Tips: Frozen foods are regulated under an arm of NAFDAC, and Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON). However, there is no stringent rule or regulation that is capable of posing any form of treat for now. Ensure your business is registered with relevant municipal authorities to protect yourself from harassment.

Improper transportation

– A lot of perishable items get damaged on transit as a result of poor cooling. Industrial freezers in Nigeria help ensure your products a perfectly frozen before transportation over long supply distance.

Goods Theft

 – Prioritize security, use CCTV for remote monitoring, and most importantly, have a good routine stock control/auditing system.

7.  Improper staffing

– Irrespective of the size of your cold room storage business, employ competent or professionals to run and manage the investment with you.

 Waste management/Hygiene

– Cleanliness they say, is next to Godliness. Regular cleaning and proper waste disposal are essential. Keep your frozen foods business premises clean and fresh.

Basic Requirements for Running Frozen Foods Business

It is necessary to know the basic tools and amenities you will require to run a frozen foods business facility:

• Running water system: for regularly cleaning and washing
• Manual/electric cutting machine
• Wooden or stainless tables, buckets, and chairs
• Standard weighing scale for measuring products
• Panel truck or wheelbarrow for carrying heavy loads
• Hand gloves, Apron, Plastic or rubber shoe and (Personal Protective Equipment). Fire extinguisher and first aid box.

How to manage cold room for frozen foods

Understanding how to efficiently run and manage your cold storage room is essential to your business success. Here are some tips;

(A) Use of log sheet – Startup temperature and closing temperature must be logged every day for proper references and monitoring of cold room performance.

(B) Power supply to the Cold room is like a life-wire, thus you must ensure it’s uninterrupted at any time. Do routine checks and maintenance.

(C) Maintain a clean business environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important, as some potential customers may not even patronize you, on account of an untidy environment.

(D) Access control – Try as much as possible to reduce the rate at which your cold room is being opened and closed. Your cold room will lose operating energy if you leave it open too frequently often.

(E) Customer care – Create a unique marketing system that will draw potential customers to your business.

(F) Pricing strategy- Let your pricing be competitive, always prepare for peak periods, festive seasons, and off-peak periods with the right incentives for your customers to keep them coming to you year-round.

(G) Business Integrity- Last but not the least, let integrity be a core value with which you relate to your customers. Keep your business promises and let your customers’ interest or concern be satisfied.

Choosing an ideal location for your Frozen foods business

Deciding the location for your business is critical to your eventual success, the following tips are factors to help you make an informed decision:

• Ease of access to the cold room and the equipment
• Highly populated environment, or nearness to market
• Nearness to source of regular power supply is an advantage
• Ease of waste disposal – Frozen foods business, no doubt, generates quite a lot of wastes, your business location must be easily accessible to evacuate all solid waters like cartons, nylons, boxes, off-cuts, among others.

How To Start Frozen Foods Business In Nigeria Or Africa: Complete Guide

How To Start A Lucrative Frozen Foods Business In Nigeria Or Africa: The Complete Guide | Image: Iseowo

The frozen foods business is a very profitable venture in many parts of the world, mainly due to growth in population and demand for convenience foods. The business is far from being saturated because not many people are engaged in it. Frozen foods venture has to do with the sale of fish, turkey, prawns, chicken, gizzards and certain vegetables for consumption.

The global market for frozen foods was valued at the tune of USD 291.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 5.14% during the forecast period to reach USD 282.50 billion by 2023. The rising value of Ready-to-Eat (RTE) foods products stems as a result of hectic lifestyles among working-class individuals on a global level. Moreover, the progressive spending on shelf-stable foods among consumers is predicted to expand the market for frozen foods soon. International trade of these items has gained popularity as a result of rising demand, complemented by improved transportation facilities. China, Russia, the United States, Chile and Norway had the highest export value of frozen foods in 2019.

Nigeria’s frozen foods market size is projected to grow during the 2020-2026 forecast period. The ready-to-eat (RTE) section is expected to gain a more significant market share in terms of revenue over the coming years, as they are convenient to make and involve less time and efforts. Subsequently, the market for frozen fruits and vegetable is anticipated to increase due to the dynamic lifestyle of people and rising demand for a healthy source of nutrition. The frozen foods market is a potential market in every part of Nigeria but it is more convenient to start up in riverine areas such as the Niger Delta region and in other major towns and cities like Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, etc.

However, the nation heavily relies on imports to meet its consumption rate rather than local production. Reports have it that Nigeria requires about 1.5 million tonnes of fish annually and is expected to meet FAO’s recommended minimum fish consumption rate of 12.5 kilograms per head yearly to satisfy basic protein needs. Imports just on fish alone are nothing short of 400,000 tonnes to bridge the fish supply-demand gap. There is, therefore, a massive deficit in the Nigerian RTE sector. A close look at policies supporting the production of sustainable crops to boost livestock rearing, by the government can quickly remedy this problem.

Notwithstanding, the frozen foods business is one business that can increase within the shortest possible time. The target market is always available: the sophisticated, stress- immune elites and ceremonies such birthday parties, weddings, naming ceremony, convocation, festivals, which are recurrent events will always keep the frozen foods investor in business. Therefore, if you are looking to start up your own frozen foods business, this article will provide you with the step-by-step guide.

Today there are more varieties of frozen food than when it first started out as a business.

You might not see these foods at that frozen food shop in your area but it does not exempt them from the list. They include:

• Sea foods (this includes fish like sardine or shawa, croaker, titus, panla, etc and other sea related foods).
• Poultry products (chicken wings, whole chicken, chicken laps, orobo, turkey, gizzard, chicken neck, etc).

Frozen Food Sales Profitable In Nigeria?

The sales of frozen food is almost as profitable as the oil business in Nigeria , in short, it is.

For some families, frozen food is non-negotiable considering how busy the mother schedule is.

I remember eating more frozen fish and chicken than live ones except on religious holidays when there was enough time to do fresh and sly frozen food.

You see fish sellers on the increase daily with their carton packed basin, mounted on their heads and you wonder how these people endure such sun beat for this kind of frozen food sales.

You cannot justify the number of frozen food shop in your area and noticed that some have closed up but the number has not diminished.

Then you ask yourself ‘is frozen food business profitable in Nigeria?’ the answer is yes, it is.

If it was not, Zartech would continue neither would shop rite and other supermarkets sell frozen foods.

Here are quick tips to help you succeed in your endeavor to start selling frozen food.

Get Guidance

“ It is important to know what you are getting into before jumping into it, else you find yourself jumbling things up”.

Number one thing to do when you want to start a frozen food business in Nigeria is to get adequate knowledge of the business.

It would be an advantage to get practically trained in the food business and not just from your desk and chair with paper and a pen.

This will help shed more light on things you are to do when starting your frozen foods business, the right source of supply, the equipment you are to get first, what association to join and lots more.

Have a Business Plan

A business plan gives you an oversight on the frozen food business.

It entails the following:

• Your frozen food business name.
• Identification of the magnitude of your frozen food business.
• Product Line: This is the part that speaks on the type of frozen food product you want to sell.

An elderly population will prefer more sea foods considering their health.

More frozen poultry products and animal-based products will sell with a younger population.

• Location: This cannot be excluded from your business plan. The success of your frozen food business is peculiar to its location.

It might be expensive but if it has desired potentials then what is the delay in including its cost in the business plan.

• Cost of equipment: For someone starting a frozen food business, the following are important at the initial stage:
• Freezers (minimum of two especially if you intend selling two different types of frozen food; fish and chicken for example).
• Measuring scale.
• Table and chairs.
• Aprons or work clothes.
• Plank or wooden boards (for chopping).
• Cutlasses \ axes \ knives.
• Stainless Bowls.
• Packaging materials.
• Staff (optional).
• Truck (depends on if you will distribute).

The frozen food business plan covers areas of competitors’ analysis, cost of supply of goods, marketing and branding strategy costs, etc.

Startup Capital

Now that you know what you getting into, how about we talk about the money you want to use to start the frozen food business.

It is certain that from your business plan you already know the cost of the equipment and other things you need to start the business in Nigeria.

It is at this stage you start answering these questions:

• What is your estimated total cost?
• How can you raise this amount of money?
• Do you have up to that in your account or are you getting a loan?
• Or do you have someone that wants to invest in your frozen food business?

Wherever your frozen food shop will be, ensure it is somewhere accessible to your target market.

In as much as it is to be in urban areas try to ensure it is in close proximity to your customers.

There is no point going for frozen food when the timle it will take you to get it is enough time to start and finish an all round freshly made food.

Customer Base

Customers are said to be the veins of a business, without a good number of customer, your frozen food business shop is food storage for your family.

Good customer service never fails, so build a strong customer base for your frozen food business.

Supply of Goods

‘fa ya wor’ is the popular name for smugglers in Nigeria, while some kill in their farm and refrigerate immediately, others smuggle into the country.

Either way, get reliable sources of supply of frozen food so you are not left high and dry making you unreliable to your customers.

Registration

God bless Nigeria, we have an association for everything even cleaners dey association.

These associations come with their benefits so get registered with your location frozen food association.

Get registered under the necessary bodies especially if your frozen food business will be on the large scale or you will be importing.

Marketing and promotion

A good business will rot in the shadows with no marketing strategy.

Although most frozen food business market themselves it will not be so bad to have a signboard or nice looking placard in front of your shop.

Advertise your frozen food business, promote it and increase your customer base. Now your frozen food business is good to go.

Challenges of Frozen Food Business In Nigeria

Of all the challenges frozen food businesses face in Nigeria, the major threat is electricity.

Frozen foods are perishable goods and the need for electricity to refrigerate is not negotiable.

The epileptic supply of electricity in the country is unreliable for the frozen food business so the best is to have a working stand-by generator.

Another challenge is supply as not everyone can be their own scratch source of supply.

Although smuggling is not new in the business, it is illegal and this has sort of being the major source of frozen food in the country.

The cost of smuggling it in to the country increases the buying rate, hence, the selling rate and this might not be too good for business.

Frozen Food Business In Nigeria (Summary)

Frozen food offers more advantages than to bother with disadvantages in terms of quality, convenience, consistency, minimal to no wastage, availability and affordability when we included business.

It is not going anywhere yet and the world itself is not willing to let it go so why not start that frozen food business today and meet people’s needs while at it.

FROZEN CHICKEN PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA: THE OPPORTUNITY.

Home → Investment Opportunities in Nigeria → Agriculture, Agro – Processing, Forestry And Fishing → FROZEN CHICKEN PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA: THE OPPORTUNITY.

The livestock sub-sector is an important component of the Nigerian Agricultural Economy. Its importance derives from the fact that it is one of the key contributors to the national economy. For example, using the 1984 factor based data, the sub-sector contributed on an annual basis, a little over 5% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between 1996 and year 2000. According to CBN, the livestock sub-sector is second only to the crop sub-sector under the sub-sector contribution to the general agricultural sector, and represents an average over 13% of agriculture’s contribution during the period under consideration.

Though over 70% of Nigeria’s 923,768 square kilometres land mass is arable and suitable for Agricultural, the nation is a net importer of food products.

In an attempt to tackle the problems facing the Agricultural Sector in Nigeria, Government put in place the National Agricultural Policy, which was jointly formulated by the national stakeholders and International Development Partners and approved by the Federal Government in 2002. Specifically, the National Agricultural Policy assigns supportive roles to the government, while investments in the sector are left to the private sector initiative and in order to encourage investment in the poultry sub-sector, Government approved ban on the importation frozen poultry products and gave other incentives to stimulate investment.

Nigeria, with a population of about 165 million is grossly underprovided with the essential food component, which is protein. For example, data from the FOS, CBN, and FAO indicate that from cattle, less than 2kg of beef is available to an average Nigerian per year and just mere 4kg of eggs per annum is available to each Nigerian.

In fact, milk production has been nose diving or at best has remained constant since 1994.This scenario is compounded more so when the volume of egg supply is very low, being 10.56g per person per day as compared with the usual recommendation that an egg should be consumed by an adult per day. This recommendation would imply a crate of 30 eggs per month. This story also holds for other meat products including, chicken.

The two major events that have been recorded in the industry has been the ban on the importation of frozen poultry product which was introduced in 2003 and deepen the market for poultry product in Nigeria and the Avian Influenza of 2007 which affected the industry on a negative note.

The ban according to on the importation of frozen chicken into Nigeria has not only created jobs in the poultry industry but encouraged investments in poultry production, processing and storage.

Nigeria, with a population of over one hundred and sixty five million (165,000,000) people and an estimated national population growth rate of 5.7% per annum , average economic growth rate of 3.5% per annum in the past five (5) years ,Nigeria is a large ,expanding and sustainable market for frozen chicken.

Generally, there are few taboos, religious or cultural practices that prohibit the use of frozen chicken in human diet. Hence, nearly all members of the Nigerian populace are potential consumers of frozen chicken.

Specifically, there is sustained high demand for frozen chicken for home consumption or as gifts at the time of festivals such as Christmas, New Year, Easter, Id El-Fitri, Id-El Kabir etc. Also fast food operators such as hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets also have very high demand for frozen chicken.

More investment is required in the processing of chickens in order to meet the ever increasing demand for frozen chicken and achieve the desire of government that placed a ban on the importation of frozen chicken in Nigeria
