In summary, it involves buying catfish, processing and smoke drying it, packaging it in a branded polythene pack, and distributing it to supermarkets, retail outlets and the likes.

You will need a fish smoke/drying machine for this purpose. You can get a good one capable of drying 200 fishes per batch for N300,000.

To make your product more presentable, you will need a nafdac approval which is about N(30 to 50),000.

A kilogram of catfish at farms is about N600. It will cost you less than N100 to process and package it. You can sell it to supermarkets at N900 who in turn sell it to dia customers at N1,000.

In summary, u will be making an average of N150 profit per fish.
Assuming you process and sell 400 fish per week, you will be making an average of N240, 000 per month.

If you have a place to use as your factory or a compound to construct a shed for your machine, you can start the business with about N500,000. This will get you a nafdac reg, a business name reg, smoking and sealing machine, and more than 100 catfish.

Note: Supermarkets will not pay you
immediately initially. You have to drop d products and collect your money whenever its sold. But when your product becomes hotcake, they can even pay u in advance to supply them.

Their is a huge market for hygienically smoked fish abroad, but you can hardly meet the market demand in the country talk less of exporting.
