BELIZE ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS IDEA - import substitution.

ANOTHER SMALL ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS SELLING COCONUT WATER IN BELIZE!


Coconuts cost around .35 cents to .50 cents. One coconut fills a can, or bottle with coconut water.
GRACE KENNEDY from Jamaica is importing coconut water from Jamaica for Belizeans in cans. They sell in the supermarkets of Santa Elena Town for $2.85 to $3.50 each.
Any small entrepreneur can set himself, or herself up in business for this business as a kitchen table cottage industry. Coconut water is sterile in the nut. Needs no preparation. Just a container and a funnel.
Markup a $1 for your labor and you have a business. The Chinese stores can sell them for a 100% margin markup. Everybody makes out like a bandit.
