Back To Food/Candy Making

SVG is great in terms of raw materials however, most of the food industries here are amateurish with 3 exceptions.The packaging is an important part in any product.St.Vincent doesn't manufacture packaging with the exception of a few plastic materials.Hence most packaging is imported from Trinidad.I found a quaint packaging business with packaging to suit my needs.I advised someone on how Jams are made professionally and was told about this place.This is a sample of what's available.


I am a food chemist everything is possible,I can think of hundreds of things I can make to fill these packages.The question is finding a product with sufficient competitive advantage.Right now it's candy but I have to be prepared to back it up with other products.Right now I'm looking at purchasing clam shells for secondary packaging,vacuum bags for my dehydrated products,and bottles for flavourants and ingredients.This place Packaging Plus is truly a find.I got lost looking for it a month ago.But I didn't mind because the view is spectacular:
