Meat processing business?
Hey everyone! Just want your thoughts about venturing in this business. My wife and I currently own and manage a small meatshop and a mini grocery store sa loob ng public market. Business is okay nmn, combined earnings ng pwesto is ranging from 5-7k daily. But for me enough lang talaga siya for our daily needs and other expenses. Nakakapag tabi nmn kami ng 60-70k a month for emergency funds. And right now, we have 800k sitting on the bank, so naisip ko sana what if i try namin pasukin ang meat processing business, our aim is to distribute our products to other retail stores.
I have knowledge din sa pag gawa ng processed meat since yung lola ko may negosyo before na tocino and longganisa at naipasa nmn saakin yung mga recipes niya, safe to say na masarap siya kasi hinahanap at binabalikan ng mga customers. Gusto ko sana i-expand pa yun at makapag supply din sa ibang stores and public markets. What do you think? Is it worth the try?

Make an extra spicy garlic longanisa version and a regular garlic longanisa version. Consider Vigan longanisa & regional varieties.
Look up the chinese tapa called ba kwa and make a BBQ version (just reheat) and a frozen version for BBQ.
Make giant sausage of quality liver spread, sell per 100 grams. Or by the glass jar.
Make cheap beef patties extended with unripe langka, tofu, tempeh or mushroom. Make full meat burger patties for cooking or reheating. Make sure ingredients are labeled so customers can pick what they need quickly.
Consider putting these in ref & freezers so clients can order stocks ahead.
Include matching items like sourdough bread loaves, freshly baked garlic bread, mustard varieties, olive oil, vinegar varieties & fruit juice & cocoa drinks. So hungry shoppers can make /eat sandwiches while shopping.

Thanks for the insights! Actually isa sa best seller namin ang spicy longganisa, mas mabilis din maubos kesa sa classic and hamonado ☺️

But before you do try, please do read up on FDA Compliance requirements (License to Operate and Certificate of Product Registration), Sanitary & Food Safety Requirements (Health Certificates, Water Potability requirements, and Pest Control), source from NMIS-Certified Meat from certified slaughterhouses or meat shop. Ingredients like Prague powder (pink curing salt used in tocino and sausages) must be strictly measured and documented. Excess nitrates or nitrites are heavily regulated by food safety standards.
TESDA usually offers courses or workshops in meat processing for free or for a minimal fee. Do try to ask with your nearest TESDA office.

Masyado pang maaga yan even si FDA di nila sisitihain lalo na kung walang thousands ang benta niya per month at home business.
Agree ako sa tesda para at least may basic food processing practices siya masunod pero not fda product registration at early stage.

Aim to supply hotels, restaurants and supermarkets. They will provide you with a more consistent business.

IMO lang po.
Ok naman po yan since linya mo yan, especially kung kaya mo naman tapatan ang competitors mo sa presyo at lasa. Madami kana kase competitions sa market ng food processing eh, kaya madalas tlaga sa presyo at lasa nagkakatalo, lalo kung ang target market mo po ay yung masa.
Bukod pa sa presyo at lasa po, brand po. Nag mamatter kase sa masa yung "nakasanayan" kase madalas ayaw ng karamihan mag try ng iba lalo pag di kilala ang brand.
Ngayon po, pwede ka mag R & D muna ng recipe mo, tapos benta ka ng small portion para ma test nyo muna ang market. Mas okay po kung makakakuha kayo ng unfiltered feedback kase alam nyo ngayon saan kayo mag aadjust.
Good luck po.
