Fruit
Juice {Pineapple} Production In Nigeria
Fruits juice production is a viable project as raw materials are
readily available in Nigeria.
Raw materials for fruits juice are oranges, lime, lemon,
grape, paw paw, guava, pineapple and mangoes. These are grown in
abundance in Nigeria and they waste away during the production
season. There is every assurance that the plant will work round
the year as constant supply of raw materials (fruits) is
guaranteed.
Nigeria has a huge and untapped market potential in the sale and
use of processed pineapple products as we currently import
concentrates (used for the production of fruit juice and
sweeteners) from South Africa and Europe.
Several factors such as increasing disposable incomes, value
addition, product innovation and growth in emerging markets have
helped to sustain the demand and growth of the Juice industry
coupled also of the ban on their importation in to Nigeria.
The demand and supply gap is huge which informs the resolve to
venture in the manageable scale production and distribution of
the products within
production vicinity and extending sales marketing to
distributive hubs that is close to the Plant. Trade distributive
in hub in Nigeria is in Lagos, Onitsha, Kano and Port Harcourt.
With Coca-Cola taken full ownership of CHI Limited in late 2018
it became the biggest producer of fruit juice in Nigeria in
direct competition with Dansa, Cway, Fruita and Fan Limited.

Sorting: After harvesting, the fruits are sorted, because only
those that are fresh, ripe can be used
Washing and peeling: The fruits are sorted to remove any
blackened pieces, bits of peeling, seeds etc before going
through intense and washing and avoid being damaged.
Crushing and Pulping: The washed fruits are taken to the
Crushing machine and are crushed into particles before being
pulped into juice in the juicer.
Pasteurizing or sterilizing: The juiced content are sent to the
mixing tank and
pasteurized (temperatures above 80°C) or sterilized
(temperatures above 100°C) so that it can have longer shelf life
filling Packing: After the heating process, the juice are filled
and packed into 50cl size.
Margin in the first year for this plant is projected at about 5
Million Naira in the first year. When it is ran efficiently and
with adequate working the project’s initial investment can be
fully recovered within 2 years. Gross margin and Net Margin is
about 17% and 10% respectively.
