my little research so far shows that i can make good money. Buying a litre at sh 50 and selling at sh 70 while the packed milk goes for sh 100 per litre
anyone who can share any more on this i would appreciate
Its not a bad idea.There are lots of them huku mayuu and some are supplied by the local milk farmers.They even have empty bottles on offer. I remember seeing something like that on some local kenyan tv news , a guy has such a dispenser.I can't remember when it was a guy has a van which has a cooler and he has the dispenser. It can actually work but mambo ya wizi !!
The idea of the pricing is not bad too.I think milk companies are just thieves.I saw the receipt on the nakumatt topic the other day a litre of milk is 100 and they buy it from the farmers @ around 40.Even if you factored in the energy bill + other expenses, i do not think its supposed to be past 70.An example of here , they buy milk from farmers at around 38sh i get it at the supermarket for 55 or 56 (cheapest) and the most expensive at around 74 sh. The cost of energy is much cheaper but labour is more expensive. The driver,clerk,delivery guy and all earn about 1000 sh an hour and you compare this to the Kenyan labour market.
Conclusion there are milk cartels just like oil cartels.
Go on your idea is great .
