In times of economic instability or even for those seeking extra income, investing in food production for sale is an excellent alternative. With creativity, dedication and good revenue, it is possible to turn your home kitchen into a profitable business.
Candy and salty are among the best-sellers, mainly due to their practicality of consumption and the emotional appeal they bring — after all, who can resist a well-made brigadeiro or a crispy coxinha?
The secret to success in this industry lies in three pillars: flavor, presentation and cost-benefit. Choosing simple recipes, with accessible ingredients and uncomplicated preparation is the first step to getting started without major investments. The idea is to focus on products that please the public's palate and that can be produced on a large scale, without compromising quality.
In addition, it is important to think about packaging, point of sale (or delivery channels) and advertising. Social media is a great ally for those who are just starting out. Well-taken photos, appetizing descriptions and fair prices make all the difference when it comes to attracting the first customers and keeping them loyal.
