Hi Guys,

I am doing feasibility study on running this business. Right now it is dominated by Wahindis at Mulolongo but I believe one can run a small plant/site producing enough ballast to sale to the local market. The other group are labourers crushing hardcore with hammers to produce the same. Potential markets are small towns and areas with lots of constructions. Small affordable crushing machines are currently available in the market.

Anyone interested pls post then we can share ideas.

I agree its a very feasible business. Main challenge is getting the right machine and technicians to maintain them. Indians and washina control the biz as they have the equip and knowhow to fix them.
