You can start small. But, be mindful of the cost of production, not to be higher than selling price .

first thing to do is to get someone who will sell fishes to you at a reduced or reasonable price. lets say you can start with 100KG of Melang catfishes. With different prices nationwide, you can get this size of catfish for at least #420 – #500 per KG, depending on the farmer.

so that is 100kg X #450 = #45,000

Washing, Smoking and Packaging goes for #170 – #200 per KG, also depends.

so, 100KG X #170 = #17,000

Making a sticker for your product is also a nice and helping tool. This shouldn’t be more that #7,000.

in Total :

#45,000 + #17,000 + #7,000 = #69,000..

Note that Smoking and washing will be done by whoever you are giving to help you smoke it. Yours is to negotiate and pay money.

Also, you should get at least 80 to 90 pack of 4 in 1 packs of catfishes.

80 packs X #1000 per pack = #80,000

90 packs X #1,000 per pack = #90,000

i hope i have been helpful……
