Step-by-Step Roadmap
Zero se pehli sale tak — actual kaam
Har step realistic hai — Vizianagaram ke liye, as is.
1
Learn / Research
Visit Vizianagaram's Bobbili and Parvatipuram mandals — the highest mango production zones. Meet 2-3 established jelly makers in the district. Attend mango harvest season (April-June) to understand yield, quality, and seasonal pricing. Study competitor brands at local Sarada Centre (main wholesale market in Visakhapatnam, 45km away).
2
Source Raw Materials
Source fresh mangoes directly from local mandis during peak season (May-June) at ₹15-25/kg for bulk 500kg batches costing ₹7,500-12,500. Source packaging (250ml glass jars) from Visakhapatnam suppliers at ₹3-4 per unit. First batch of 200kg mangoes → ~150 jars output at raw cost ₹18,000-22,000.
3
Produce / Partner
Partner with existing FMCG food processing units in Vizianagaram district or rent kitchen space certified for food processing (available at ₹8,000-15,000/month). Get FSSAI approval first (₹8,000-12,000), then produce 50-100 units weekly initially. Alternatively, hire a retired food technician from nearby Andhra University to supervise batch production quality.
4
Brand & Register
Register Udyam (1-2 days online). Apply for IEC code from Visakhapatnam office for export readiness. Register brand name with trademark office (₹9,000-15,000). Get FSSAI licensing (Food Safety Basic Category) at ₹2,000-3,000. Design labels meeting FPO (Fruit Products Order) standards for jelly declaration.
