The "Side Hustle" economy in South Africa is growing fast. We have noticed a surge in customers buying our bulk lentils, rice, and spices to repackage and resell in their local communities. If you are looking to start a small business, organic food is a recession-proof industry.
1. Low Startup Costs
Unlike tech startups that require expensive hardware, a food reselling business simply requires stock. Buying a 10kg bag of Basmati Rice and splitting it into 1kg packets allows for a healthy profit margin. You don't need a massive business loan to get started—just smart inventory management.
2. Essential Tools for Resellers
To run this efficiently, you will need a basic set of digital tools.(Read our guide on essential business software here). A simple spreadsheet app or basic accounting software to track your profit and loss is essential. Additionally, using WhatsApp Business is a free way to market your stock to neighbors.
3. Reliable Suppliers are Key
Your business reputation depends on the quality of your product. At BuyOrganic.co.za, we act as your wholesale partner. We ensure that the Non-GMO Soya and spices you sell are certified and premium quality, helping you build trust with your customers.
4. Managing Cash Flow
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any new venture. By buying non-perishable goods like dried beans and rice, you reduce the risk of stock spoiling before you can sell it. This is a safe investment strategy for first-time entrepreneurs.
